The facts, as I understand them:

• City of Nottingham.
• Decides to break the world record for people dressed as zombies in one place. And yes, they do the thriller dance, too.
• The date of the record-breaking is October 31, 2008.
• Jonathan Coulton happens to be doing a UK tour at the time.
• Jonathan Coulton thus gets to perform Re: Your Brains at said event.
• As if that weren't enough, he gets to meet the Sheriff.

I love this world sometimes.

PS: Did any of our UK alumni get out to see Coulton on this tour?

But the Monroeville Mall makes soooo much more sense as the location of the zombie mob. Why Nottingham?

What's the deal with eating brains? I think pretty much every zombie movie I've seen has the zombies eating everything except the head and brain it seems.

It's from Return of the Living Dead.
