Night of the Living Dead (For Kids)

Brand new track for new stage adaptation of this classic horror...

Created this soundscape for this speech, played really well under the speech in rehearsal this week.

BEN: Well this room looks pretty secure. If we have to we can run in here and board up the doors. Won’t be long before those things come pounding their way in here, they’re afraid now.
They’re afraid of fire, I found that out…
 
You know a place back down the road called  Beekman’s, Beekman’s Diner? Anyway that’s where I found that truck I have out there. There’s a radio in the truck. I jumped in to listen to it. But a big gasoline truck come screamin’ right across the road with there must have been… ten.. Fifteen of those things chasing after it, grabbing and holding on. I didn’t see them at first. I could just see that the truck was moving in a funny way and those things were catching up to it. The truck went right across the road. I slammed on my brakes to keep from hitting it myself. It went right through the guard rail. I guess…  I guess the driver must have cut off the road into that gas station by Beekman’s Diner. It went right through the billboard, ripped over a gas pump and never stopped moving. By now it was like a moving bonfire. I didn’t know if the truck was going to explode or what. I can still hear the man… Screaming… These things just backing away from it. I looked back at the diner to see if there was anyone there who could help me. That was when I noticed that the entire place had been encircled. There wasn’t a sign of life left except… by now there were no more screams. I realised that I was alone, with fifty or sixty of those things just standing there staring at me. I… I started to drive, I just ploughed right through them. They didn’t move, they didn’t run, they just stood there staring at me. I just wanted to crush them. They scattered through the air like bugs.
