I'll be honest: I totally teared up at this video of Saturday night's ‪Mondo Mystery Movie IX Dawn of the Dead‬ event.

That is some pure, unadulterated joy on the faces of ticketholders, who had no idea what they were getting into when they boarded a bus to god knows where (Highland Mall, turned out). What they got was the stuff super-gory movie dreams are made of.
