To apply you’ll need to have the following materials ready:

2. What is your most embarrassing Zombie moment?

3. What extracurricular zombie activities do you enjoy beyond roaming the earth for eternity and eating the living?

4. Which zombie movie do you feel offensively misrepresents and stereotypes zombies?

5. How can you tell a real zombie from a fake one?
