Days of the Living Dead #DOTLD Season 2017, Episode 4: How to Make a HellsGate Zombie DIY

Days of the Living Dead #DOTLD Season 2017, Episode 3: Housebound: Building HellsGate
“The problem with big, ambitious designs is that they cost a LOT of money…”

But hey, that’s never stopped them before. Watch as Kyle and the crew figure out how to turn high concept into creepy reality, beware of the ZomBEE Army and sing along with Johanna: “Bricks and bricks and bricks and bricks”!

Watch as the team walks you through all the considerations at play – physical, psychological and emotional. The Zombie Army REALLY wants to SCARE you!
Days of the Living Dead #DOTLD Season 2017, Episode 1: HellsGate Rising

In 2017, now with HellsGate firmly established, the Army has turned its attention to finessing and augmenting HellsGate Haunted House. Watch as John and the crew give you a sneak peak at some of the new thrills, chills and terrors awaiting you in the woods of Lockport…
