From the first black-and-white movie to binge worthy TV, to graphic novels, zombies have clawed their way through to every corner. Are there more to zombies than meets the eye? From the idea of a crumbling society to the idea of communities coming together to save themselves, they invite every part of the human experience. Zombies are everywhere! # springfieldmo

THIS EVENT MAY NOT BE THE BEST FIT IF:

(We say this gently — we just want the best experience for everyone)

• Your products are mass-produced or commonly found at mainstream craft fairs
• Your items don’t align with a dark, horror, or alternative theme

Halloween is over. But, there’s still a possibility of zombies! I am starting to think about how I should do makeup for Moth Markets. The thing is, I am not good at that kind of makeup. We would love to have an sfx makeup artist at our events. If you know a person, send them over.
