Apocalyptic Shopping Malls

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Zombie Battle Experience is a Gory Retail Experience

— March 19, 2012 — Unique
An abandoned shopping mall in Reading, Berkshire is set for demolition and will serve as the perfect location for a real-life Zombie Battle Experience.

Every weekend until the building is torn down, willing participants can buy tickets to test out their zombie-fighting skills and see first-hand whether they could survive if the human race was converted into a bunch of brain-munching cannibals.

Hosted by wish.co.uk, each event runs for about two hours and starts with a briefing by the ‘Police: Special Zombie Bashing Unit.’ The elite squad teaches participants how to wield weaponry like a professional and hone their undead-crushing abilities.

Set against an intensive array of props and special effects, each individual will be part of a special mission that involves the opportunity to be a hero -- or get eaten trying.

For anyone that wants to stamp out the living dead to make room for the uninfected human race, The Zombie Battle Experience is the perfect solution.
