What: Advertisement for the horror film Survival of the Dead

Where: Cinema Sunshine Ikebukuro (www.cinemasunshine.co.jp)

Who: Created by students at the Tokyo Visual Arts school

When: On display until May 14; movie premieres June 12

Why: This bit of guerilla marketing, in which a cinema box office appears to be overrun by zombies, has proven a little too effective. Passersby have complained that it’s “Freaky” and “I can’t look at it!”
