Knott’s Berry Farm to add Zombieland scare zone for Halloween Haunt 2009

The upcoming “Zombieland” horror film starring Woody Harrelson will serve as an inspiration for one of the monster scare zones during Halloween Haunt 2009 at Knott’s Berry Farm.

The post-apocalyptic zombie comedy, which opens in theaters on Oct. 9, follows a lone band of survivors who fight the living dead. Scenes from the movie were shot at Wild Adventures theme park in Georgia.

In addition to Harrelson, who plays a zombie killer, the film stars Jesse Eisenberg (”Adventureland”), Emma Stone (”Superbad”) and Abigail Breslin (”Little Miss Sunshine”).

Zombieland will take over a new scare zone location in the Buena Park theme park near the Silver Bullet roller coaster entrance.

The 37th annual Knott’s Scary Farm will take place on Wednesday through Sunday nights from Sept. 24 through Oct. 31, 2009.
