No matter what kind of music you’re into, the Prom won’t disappoint. If you want to dance there will be a few DJs to help you get your Thriller on. If you want to rock, Live Not On Evil and The Young Werewolves will be happy to oblige.

What more could a couple of living dead lovebirds ask for?

How do you improve on the American institution that is the high-school prom? Why you add the living dead, of course.

Twilight madness aside, it’s fair to say the whole vampire thing is dying down (pun intended). Now zombies—here’s something to get excited about.
Philadelphia Weekly - Events, 2009
Of course, it would rain on Zombie Prom. It rained on zombie homecoming and zombie spring fling too. Man, what is up with this school, it's like the zombie seniors are cursed.
Johnny Zito - ComicMix interview at the Philly Zombie Prom, 2008
Nothing's more horrifying than memories of prom. Haunting us years later like an overachieving poltergeist, no one can forget the corsages, the poofy dresses, the tuxes that never fit. In honor of the quintessential pinnacle of senior high, the Philly Zombie Prom plays on old fears with a twist of bloody glitz and glamour.
City Paper - Agenda Picks, 2008
I feel a Philly tradition in the making-one that won't end until we've strangled the last baby boomer with the guts of the second-to-last baby boomer. And then eaten them.
Philadelphia Weekly - Editor's Picks, 2008
It's the morning after the Philly Zombie Crawl Zombie Prom and Joe Flyblown wakes up confused, his head throbbing something rotten. "Urgh?" He tries to draw upon the power of every brain he's ever eaten to figure whose mausoleum he's rising from the dead in.
Philadelphia Weekly - A-List, 2007
Depending upon what year you graduated from high school, you may already have the perfect outfit for Zombie Prom. The creators of Philly Zombie Crawl - the Easter bar crawl in honor of history's most famous zombie - are hosting this new brainy bash in response to Philly zombie enthusiasm.
