Museums and Exhibitions Regarding Necromancy and the Undead

Think about it. A Renfair where all the people turn into zombies wearing dresses, capes, holding plastic swords and crossbows. I'd succumb to my fate if I could just laugh my a** off for 5 minutes as a zombie dressed as a maid with plastic fairy wings charges at me while holding a magic wand. Sweeet. Undead Labs is an organization from Seattle who are working to make a good zombie video game better [they are not a gaming company] Basically, they provide the psychology aspect for a kick-a** zombie video game, and then sell their finds to gaming companies around the world, such as Capcom and 2K Games. They have a 'museum' of their exploits such as their "Renaissance Fair Attacked by Zombies is Hilarious" exhibit, where they imagine the funny possibility of a zombie attack at a Renfair, where all the people become flesh eating zombies while dressed as morons. Epic.

A Documentary based on a novel written by a guy whose handle is 'Blue' entitled "How to survive a zombie attack: An in-depth look at how to prepare for a post-endworld phenomenon". In it, he includes a collection of his works, which are then displayed in a museum for all to see.

This mall was the original set for the classic zombie movie directed by George Romero: Dawn of the Dead. It has a zombie exhibit in the mall, which is referred to as the Monroeville Mall Museum of Zombie Attractions Exhibit or just MMMZAH [pronounced Mem-zah].

Westgate Museum of Necromancy
This museum establishment is located in New Orleans, Louisiana. In it, they display a wide range of art works that center on revival of the dead and ancient charcoal drawings of shamans dancing with their dead. Some of the works plastered on the walls are said to be inked in human blood, and if examined closely enough, one can actually see human teeth and eyeball entrails embedded into the clay and dirt paintings.

Arizona State University (ASU) Student Art Museum
ASU offers an advanced course in applying makeup to look like our lovely lackluster zombie chums. Undead makeup applied to the characters such as "Ghost" with Patrick Swayze and the video game "Shadowman" were all designed and produced by ASU students as part of their final project.
