davis_square | Community Access Zombies and other odd affairs

Somerville residents cowering in their homes Tuesday night from 7 to 8 pm can tune in to SCAT, cable channel 3, for a live zombie show with zombies on it. In between wails of terror at the sight of the shambling undead invading your living room, you can call up the zombie hosts and ask them questions about the zombie lifestyle, or maybe just groan in hopeless dread at them.

Yes, it will be a zombie call-in show. What will the zombies talk about? I do not know. I do not think the zombies know either. They are not much on planning. As such, guest zombies are invited to show up at the studio and share their zombic viewpoints in person.

Because I am scared of zombies, though, I will TiVo all that and instead attend the Tomes of Terror Staged radio Thrillogy, as already chronicled in this earlier post.

I was in their show last year, which was about a chicken heart. This year's production is about a monkey's paw, among other things. When will man learn not to play god with pieces of small cute animals? Probably never, so long as it makes for a good yarn. Oh well.
