Rumor has it that dead girls resurrect at Night Gallery Café Crow (2F Rock & Rock Bldg, 7-8-5 Roppongi, Minato-ku; www.cafecrow.net) turning this gothic salon into a monthly zombie bar (last Sundays of the month, 3-9pm). Spilling their guts, the “Zombienas” (www.zombiena.net) say: “We will eat (a sliver of ham off of) you; infect you (with corpse makeup); and contaminate your meal with blood soda, phlegm juice, and brain jello.” Sounds delicious! And all this from ¥900, plus a ¥1,500 cover charge. This month the shambling hostesses will relocate to Ageha for their Halloween party on Oct 27.
