I'm back!
After a long (long -_-) week of Vacation Bible School my family and I took a trip down to Omaha to go to the Omaha Zoo!
This was my first time to Nebraska... and to be honest with you it sure looked a lot like Minnesota! :)
I would like to say that the zoo was unbelievably amazing. I was not sure what to expect but it was not that!
By this point you are probably wondering how any of this relates to movies.
Well you see we headed down to Omaha on Friday and we were going tot he zoo on Saturday so we had some time to blow. We spent about three hours just driving around downtown Omaha.
As a last ditch effort to waste some time we ended up at a mall. Now it is fair to assume that when you walk into a mall you will be faced with loads of crowds and tons of stores to choose from. Well this mall was defiantly not was we expected.
My fellow zombie fanatics understand that popular zombie movies have a variety of settings to choose from. Zombies tend to frequent prim real estate such as animal testing facilitates, government bases, empty warehouses, and of course malls.
As we entered the parking lot of the mall there was instantly a creepy feeling in the air. Why you ask? Well, there were about ten cars in the entire parking lot... we figured there just had to be another parking lot in the back, no big deal. Then we got into the mall....
There wear about fifteen stores in total that were open in the whole mall. A Japanese store, Taekwondo studio, costume rental store, Halloween store, a Target, and a Sears... There were a few more but those honestly were the only ones we looked at long enough to remember. There was of course the usual kiosk ally... three kiosks all manned by the same, very board looking man.
And let's not forget the twenty other lonely people wandering aimlessly in the ghost mall, all of whom I think only stayed for the same reason as my family. They stayed simply because they could not believe the fact that it was so empty. Because how many malls have you been in where they have to close off the entire second floor do to lack of mall goers?
Now as we were walking around all that was running through my mind was: "wow, I thought zombie movies were exaggerating when it came to abandoned malls..." Let me tell you guys, I will never doubt them again.
Now, if the whole abandoned building wasn't creepy enough imagine my surprise when we rounded a corner and saw a whole store front full of manikins dressed up like non other than: ZOMBIES...
That's right the costume store was having a sale on their zombie costumes.... *covers face* ha-ha
To spare you the agony of reading on I wont go into details about the trip my mom and I took to the bathroom, take a mental note: never drink too much right before entering a zombie infested, cant pay for non flickering light bulbs mall, okay?
Ha-ha, seriously guys, the directors of zombie movies know their stuff :)
Watch on
