With all the ghouls, zombies and ghosts bopping around, Halloween is a happening holiday. There will be plenty to keep Chicagoans busy over the weekend, perhaps some created a prize-winning costume. But, do any know what it takes to survive the zombie apocalypse? Paul Cosca sure did. He is the writer and director of Alive, an intimate zombie experience, which is performed at The Think Tank theater in Ravenswood. Cosca is also the artistic director of Brikenbrak Theatre Project and the managing director of The Think Tank. He served as the Weekly Guide and he gave Eight Forty-Eight his tips for a truly terrifying weekend.
