Hundreds of “Zombies” from Canobie Lake Park SCREEEMFEST
Stage Monster Flash Mob
at Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston

Boston, Massachusetts (Faneuil Hall Marketplace) October 12, 2012 – Just
prior to 2:00 pm on Friday, October 12, a caravan of buses pulled alongside
historic _Faneuil Hall Marketplace_ (http://faneuilhallmarketplace.com/) in
Boston and discharged their passengers – zombies, monsters and ghouls.
Hundreds of them, marching stiff-legged toward the market’s West End.
As the monsters paraded through Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Boston radio
celebrity “undertakers” Billy Costa of KISS 108FM and Ramiro of JAMN 94.5FM
emerged from two hearses at the front of group, and the sound of eerie dance
music was heard throughout the historic marketplace.
Choreographed in unison, the monsters began to dance to the spine-tingling
beat. The performance wowed spectators for more than three minutes and
culminated with the sound of electric shocks as the zombies twitched in their
final throes of the dance. Then, as quickly as they arrived, they were
gone, back on the buses, back to _Canobie Lake Park SCREEEMFEST_
(http://www.canobie.com/SCREEEMFEST/index.html) in Salem, New Hampshire, from where they
had come.
The “zombie flash mob” was a joint effort between Canobie Lake Park and
Faneuil Hall Marketplace.
“Both of our organizations are committed to reinventing ways to entertain
our visitors and guests,” said Chris Nicoli, Canobie Lake Park\’s Marketing
and Entertainment Manager. “We have a great partnership with Faneuil Hall
Marketplace, and together we developed a Halloween-themed event that was
both exciting and current. Canobie Lake Park SCREEEMFEST, running weekends
throughout the month of October, provided the resources allowing us to
assemble a huge cast of \’monsters and zombies\’ and present a performance in the
heart of Boston that everyone could enjoy.”
“Faneuil Hall Marketplace has always been an iconic Boston destination.
The Marketplace is working hard to launch a series of new programs and events
that will shape Boston\’s future,” said Kristin Phelan, Director of
Marketing, Faneuil Hall Marketplace. “Partners like Canobie Lake Park share a
similar mission in creating unique and memorable experiences for guests that
will make them want to visit time and time again.”
The hundreds of costumed “monsters” were choreographed by Canobie Lake
Park’s Entertainment Department to custom music prepared for the event.
