Zombie Ship Not Welcome in Michigan

The city of Muskegon, Michigan has a large floating ship-museum, the LST 393, a vessel from World War II originally used for amphibious landing and deployment of things like tanks (think Normandy). Some local high school kids wanted to convert it to a family friendly Halloween facility, a ‘zombie ship’, and spent a lot of time and money doing so for the holiday..

Only to have the city shoot them down at the last minute:

MUSKEGON COUNTY, Mich. (WZZM)- The Mayor of Muskegon says he is sorry the city did not allow a Halloween zombie ship aboard the LST 393.

With the help of drama students at four local high schools, a Muskegon church was organizing a scary haunted boat suitable for families.

After thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours were invested in the project, city inspectors said the zombie ship did not have proper permits and violated city codes.

What city codes did they violate? The article isn’t clear, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Muskegon has some ‘No Zombies Allowed’ policy. Such things are depressingly common in our day and age.

So here we had a group of students trying to make a fun event featuring Zombies sans the brutality and violence so typical of our blood-drenched media culture, and they were cruelly prevented by local, most likely Anti-Zombie, bureaucrats from spreading their positive message.

For shame, Muskegon.

    Just wanted to say… I (almost) was a part of this… as a student actor who was super excited for this to go down. Then… stupid fire marshall shut us down even after knowing about it for weeks.

    It was clearly an act of conspiracy against the public expression of Zombie culture. For shame on them.
