Our favorite Zombie Alisabeth!<\/p><\/div>\n

Cedar Rapids, IA \u00e2\u20ac\u201c January 27th, 2011 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c On the evenings of Friday
\nFebruary 11th, and Saturday February 12th, the twisting and turning
\nmaze of Circle of Ash Haunted Attraction will be filled with zombies
\nof all sorts.\u00c2\u00a0 Those two nights Circle of Ash will present \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Be My
\nZombie\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in celebration of the Valentine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day Weekend.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153As much as we love all the mushy, romantic stuff that takes place for
\nValentine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, we really felt there was a need for something different,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nexplained Mark Fuller, the Volunteer Marketing Lead for Circle of Ash.
\n\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Frankly, the chocolate melts and the teddy bears just looked better
\nwith fake blood on them anyway, so why not celebrate this \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcHallmark
\nHoliday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 in the best way we know how? Scaring people!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, Mark
\ncontinued.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Be My Zombie\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is the sophomore effort to the off-season haunted
\nattraction show which Circle of Ash produced in association with the
\nCedar Rapids Freedom Festival in the summer of 2010 entitled \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Red,
\nWhite and Boo!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.\u00c2\u00a0 However, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Be My Zombie\u00e2\u20ac\u009d will be different from
\neither the summer production or the Halloween production of Circle of
\nAsh.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153All of our shows are different.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Ian Austin, Technical
\nDirector for the Circle of Ash.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We are always changing, always
\nimproving our show.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153After each run, we sit down with the cast and
\ncrew and ask, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcHow can we make this better?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.\u00c2\u00a0 We leave with hundreds
\nof ideas from those conversations, put together a plan, and start
\nmaking the changes.\u00c2\u00a0 We work on Circle of Ash nearly every single day
\nof the year. \u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Something else is different, too.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is the first time that we
\nhave been solely set on one type of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcMonster\u00e2\u20ac\u2122,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Austin.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Zombies
\nhave been around our haunt off and on over the years, but we never
\nhave put them in the spotlight.\u00c2\u00a0 There will be different types of
\nzombies, but every character you encounter will be from the undead.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Circle of Ash is a theatrical-style haunted attraction, located at 412
\n7th Avenue SE in Cedar Rapids, west of the medical district.\u00c2\u00a0 Guests
\nguide themselves through the haunt, where they will encounter dozens
\nof characters ready to greet them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
