Well, I'm back from Zombie Fest 2008 at the Quarries Scout Camp in Milton Keynes, and it was exhausting, but phenomenal fun.

The story was that 50 people were called to Willard Valley to celebrate their yearly fertility ritual. The residents were right out of Royston Vasey and, quite naturally, the ritual went horribly wrong, causing the dead to rise.

At first there were only a handful of zombies, but soon, they managed to claw their way through a few of us, until they were many more, and in the end, well over fifty of the blood-soeaked walking dead staggering around Willard Valley.

I did an exemplary job of surviving for three hours, until I was 'advised' to pick up a gas mask, at which point I was caught by the zombie girl scout and succumbed to the infection.

Overall, a masterfully told story with great attention to props and detail.

This adventure game should have the same kind of fun action status as paintablling yet it's condemned to reside in the same 'geeky' area as Dungeons & Dragons Live Action Role Playing.

But it was NOTHING like that. Great story, great effects, and some truly warm, funny, and generally all-encompassing people.

I had a great day, and if you're into zombies or fancy an alternative day out, then one of Terror 4 Fun's events is for you!
