"Zombie Fun Land!"

"A zombie theme park?"

"Sure!"

"er, yeah, ok -- granted it's original... but how many ideas can you soak out of it?"

"I don't follow you. Zombie Fun Land -- you know, zombies?"

"Yes, Night of the Living Dead and all that... I can see a haunted house, and maybe, I dunno, a maze, but what else? A roller-coaster? A zombie roller-coaster? Zombie bumper-cars? It's not like you can pack the zombie theme into bumper-cars..."

"Oh, no, of course not bumper-cars... I'd be picking up parts all the time. That would just be ridiculous. Even the roller-coaster will have to be pretty tame."

"Picking up parts?"

"Yeah... well, they're not the most sturdy people in the world."

"Wait... Zombies?"

"Yes. Hello? Zombie Fun Land!"

"Oh, wait wait wait. You mean you want to market the park for zombies?"

"Yes. What did you think I meant?"

"I meant, well, you know... zombie backdrops? Men in masks going "Grr, arg!""

"Right. Like you'd get people to come to that. No. I mean zombie customers."

"You think there's a market?"

"Of course there is."

"I mean, it's not like they have jobs."

"No, but they've got money."

"How do you figure."

"Well, it's not like the pre-zombie are limited to a certain demographic. They come from all walks of life. And they prey on the living, any living... again... no demographic."

"No demographic -- so?"

"So regular theme parks exist because there are people that want to go to them. Yet they become zombies, and now there are no theme parks for them. I think those pre-zombie who are now zombie will want to still go to theme parks."

"Yes, but they don't have jobs."

"Ah yes, but they don't have expenses. You don't buy brains, and you don't have to pay rent if you wander the earth in eternal torment. So everything they have left over is disposable income."

"And so you think they want to spend that on a zombie fun park?"

"Zombie Fun Land."

"Whatever."

"Yes. Big money in the undead."

"Hmm, what about vampires, instead of zombies? They seem to have more money, at least, with the way they dress."

"Well, that's the whole point. What little the vampire makes, he spends on clothes, and hairstyling, and what have you. The vampire is all about image. The zombie... no image... money in their pocket."

"Well, ok, but how are you going to staff the park? I mean, put one human behind the ticket booth and all your patrons will give up going on the spinning cups and go for brains instead."

"I was thinking animatronics, like Disney. Works for the mouse."

"Animatronic vendors too?"

"Well, the way I see it, there won't be any vendors. It's not like they eat anything besides brains... they won't want to buy cameras, or merchandise."

"See, with vampires you could sell the merchandise."

"Yeah, but I'd still couldn't sell cameras and I'd worry about the vendors. Instead I just put one puppet thingie to sell tickets at the front door, and I'm set. The cash just rolls in. Sweet zombie cash."

"Ok, but what about the maintenance staff? And the cleaning crew? The park will probably smell pretty rank after a night of zombies."

"Yeah, but it's not like the zombies'll care. It's that touch of home that'll keep them coming back."

"... because they've got so much disposable income. You? You're a nut."

"Yeah, but I'm going to be a rich nut."
