Well, this is creative. For the release of Resident Evil 5 this March 13th, a Best Buy in Stroudsberg, PA will transform part of their store into a haunted house, complete with shambling zombies, TVs mysteriously silent with snow and a guy wearing a potato sack mask and wielding a chainsaw. Stopping in on the way home from work to buy an AV cable may become the most unintentionally terrifying moment of some guy’s life.
Dave Partenio, supervisor of gaming and media at the store, commented on the event, saying that midnight releases were old and stale. The corporate side is keeping a close eye on the event, and its predicted that if it does well there will be more events like it in future.
It all starts at midnight on March 13th. If you live in the area, you ought to stop by: pictures of all this nutty activity could really be something.
