ZombieFest 2008 Goes Free!

You've all seen the photos in our gallery of folks having a great time and hobnobbing with the stars at conventions. Most of them come with a pretty hefty price tag. Usually convention-goers can expect to pay between $20 and $45 for a weekend filled with vendors, celebs, panels, etc. The promoters of ZombieFest have decided to do something about it this year with the announcement that ZombieFest '08 will not only be held inside the historic Monroeville Mall, but it will also be absolutely free to attend!

There will still be a bevy of vendors and panels for people to attend, but details about just how they're going to do that haven't been released yet. As for guests, they'll be announced shortly on their official website. Rest assured we'll keep you posted as more information becomes available.

ZombieFest is scheduled to run this year from October 25-26 and will also be home to the annual Zombie Ball and the World Zombie Walk through the mall.
