The city of Kuala Lumpur thought an episode of the The Walking Dead came to life on their streets in a new Train to Busan experience.
Recently screams and cries were heard in the streets of Kuala Lumpur. Residents may have thought that an episode of The Walking Dead had come to life but the reality is that it was a genius marketing ploy inspired by the hit movie Train to Busan.
Resorts World Genting, a high end resort in Malaysia, has spared no expense in their newest attraction, Train to Busan. Based on the wildly popular 2016 South Korean movie of the same name, you must complete your mission while navigating through a horror house, zombie filled train stations, and an abandoned convenience store with the goal to enter the safe haven of Busan.

Resorts World Genting executive vice president of Leisure & Hospitality Datuk Edward Holloway told The Star Online:
"“I hope that everyone has a very good time. We have spared no expense in recreating and replicating the world of the blockbuster film Train To Busan is a truly unique way here at Resorts World Genting, and we truly hope our guests will love the experience, ”"
The experience is laid out in three parts. You start out on a street in Seoul that includes Korean Street food, next you enter the overrun train station, and then two horror houses. You will constantly encounter the undead throughout the experience. Unfortunately this is only available until January 1st of 2020.
