ZOMBIE FEST SCRIPT
LEDE: THE UNDEAD HAVE DECIDED TO PAY CERRITOS COLLEGE A VISIT ON HALLOWEEN BUT DON’T WORRY FOLKS IT’S ONLY THE ZOMBIE POPULATION. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY AN EVENT KNOWN AS ZOMBIE FEST WILL BE HOSTED BY THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF CERRITOS COLLEGE.
REPORTER ROB FLORES HAS MORE
BLOODY AND DECAYING ZOMBIES TEND TO HAVE A HUNGER FOR BRAINS BUT THIS HALLOWEEN THE ONLY THING THEY WANT IS CANNED GOODS.
GERMAN SANCHEZ IS THE COMMISSIONER OF DAY TIME ACTIVITIES AND CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF CREATING ZOMBIE FEST.
GERMAN: WE MADE THE ZOMIBIE WALK INTO A GAME WHERE THE SURVIVORS (THE STUDENTS) THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A PACK OF FOOD AND THEY ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH FALCON SQUARE AND AROUND THE FOUNTAIN AND GO UP THE HILL TO DELIVER IT UP TO THE STATION AND WHILE DOING THAT THEY ARE WEARING FLAGS THE PURPOSE OF THE FLAGS IS THE ZOMBIES WILL GRAB THEM IF THEY LOSE THE FLAGS THE STUDENTS WILL BE CONSIDERED INFECTED THUS BEING ZOMBIES. PRETTY MUCH THERE IS A CONTINUM OF MORE ZOMBIES ADDED .
HE WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF INCORPORATING CANNED GOODS.
GERMAN: ONE DAY IN ONE OF THE CABINET MEETINGS SOMEBODY FROM THE HEALTH CENTER CAME OVER AND TALKED TO US ABOUT THE FOOD BANK BEING LOW AND WE NEED TO OBVIOUSLY PUT MORE FOOD IN THERE AND LITTLE GEARS STARTED ROLLING IN MY HEAD AND WE WERE THINKING YEAH MAYBE WE CAN INCORPORATE A ZOMBIE WALK WITH THE CANNED FOOD DRIVE TO PUT MORE FOOD IN THE FOOD BANK AND THEN I STARTED TALKING TO OTHER PEOPLE AND THEY STARTED BRINGING THEIR IDEAS AND SLOWLY ITS BECOMING THIS BIG EVENT.
INTER CLUB COUNCIL COMMISSIONER CHARLES CAGUIOA BELIEVES THE ZOMBIES ARE A PERFECT WAY TO PROMOTE AWARENESS OF THE CANNED FOOD DRIVE DUE TO THEIR RISING POPULARITY.
CHARLES: WE REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT ZOMBIE FEST BECAUSE A LOT OF IT HAS BEEN ICONIC WITH POP CULTURE A LOT OF THESE COMIC BOOK CONVENTIONS THESE FLASH MOBS AND WHAT NOT THEY ACTUALLY ORGANIZE THESE THINGS CALLED ZOMBIE WALKS PRIOR TO WHAT WE INITIALLY WERE THINKING OF AND WE WERE LOOKING AT THESE ZOMBIE WALKS AND WE WERE THINKING HEY WHY DON’T WE DO THAT HERE AT CERRITOS..
HIS COMMITTEE DECIDED THE BEST WAY TO PUBLICIZE ZOMBIE FEST WAS TO CREATE A PAGE ON FACEBOOK AND GRADUALLY OVER TIME REVEAL PIECES OF A FICTIONAL STORY EXPLAINING THE ARRIVAL OF ZOMBIES ON HALLOWEEN.
CHARLES: WELL FIRST DISCLAIMER THIS IS ENTIRELY FICTIONAL BUT FOR NOW WHAT THE POLICE JUST TOLD ME THEY ARE STILL LOOKING INTO THE CHEMICAL COMPOUND OF ZF13 THEY ARE LOOOKING TO WHETHER OR NOT THE EXPLOSION WAS TOXIC WE’RE STILL TRYING TO FIND OUT AS OF RIGHT NOW I HEARD SOMEONE IS STILL MISSING RUMORS THEY REALLY HAVEN’T TOLD ME PROPERLY BUT THERES BEEN NO FURTHER REPORTS.
HOWEVER, SOME STUDENTS WHO HAVE READ THE FICTIONAL NEWS UPDATES WERE ALARMED AND APPROACHED MEMBERS OF THE ZOMBIE FEST COMMITTEE THINKING THERE REALLY WAS AN EXPLOSION ACCIDENT IN A CHEMISTRY LAB ON CAMPUS.
CHARLES: WE CAN ONLY REVEAL SO MUCH ABOUT THE STORY EVEN OUR FORENSICS LABS HASN’T SAID ANYTHING THE ONLY THING I KNOW SO FAR IS ONE OF MY FRIENDS DIED ALAN RIGHTBURG JUST DIED HE WAS ACTUALLY PART OF THE EXPLOSION SO A LITTLE SAD BUT YEAH. AGAIN THIS IS ENTIRELY FICTIONAL MY FRIEND DIDN’T REALLY DIE.
IN ORDER TO MAKE THE ZOMBIES LOOK REALISTIC FOR ZOMBIE FEST MAKE UP ARTIST AND THEATER STUDENT EMMA SIMMONS-ARRAYA HAS JOINED THE COMMITTEE AND WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING ZOMBIES WITH HER MAKE UP SKILLS.
EMMA: I REALLY LOVE BEING ABLE TO IMMITATE THINGS LIKE IN LIFE WHEN IT COMES TO ASTHETICS SO BEING ABLE TO SEE A BRUISE A PICTURE OF A BRUISE OR SOMETHING ON SOMEONE AND DOING IT PUTTING MAKE UP ON YOURSELF TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THAT SAME EXACT BRUISE. THAT’S REALLY INTERSTING TO ME IM VERY ENTHROLLED BY THAT.
EMMA BELIEVES THE INSPIRATION FOR ZOMBIE FEST ORIGINATED BECAUSE OF THE MAINSTREAM POPULARITY ZOMBIES HAVE GENERATED.
EMMA: I DEFINITELY SEE A BIG BOOM OF ZOMBIES IN POPULAR CULTURE SO MANY ZOMBIE THINGS JUST EXPLODED PRETTY RECENTLY IN THE COUPLE OF YEARS AND I THINK ITS REALLY AWESOME THAT ITS HAPPENING HEAR AT CERRITOS. I WAS ACTUALLY TAKEN A BACK BY A POST ABOUT IT ON FACEBOOK AND I WAS REALLY LIKE “WHATS GOING ON?!” I WAS REALLY KIND OF CONFUSED BY THE POST I WASN’T SURE BUT NOW THAT IM A PART OF IT ITS REALLY AWESOME I’M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT.
SHE SAID THERE IS A PATTERN PEOPLE TEND TO WANT THEIR MAKE UP TO LOOK LIKE
EMMA: WE WILL DEFININTELY BE CRANKING OUT A BUNCH OF ZOMBIES BECAUSE I EXPECT THERE WILL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE AGAIN IT DEPENDS ON THE PERSON AND WHAT KIND OF ZOMBIE THEY ARE GOING TO BE IF THEY WANT A LOT OF BLOOD OR NOT. IM ALMOST POSITIVE THERE IS GOING TO BE A TON OF BLOOD MAYBE PRETTY MUCH SIMPLE
ZOMBIE MAKE UP YOU KNOW HEAVY DARK SUNKEN IN EYES AND DEEP CHEEK BONES JUST YOUR BASIC ZOMBIE
