Living Dead Weekend has announced that Bob Michelucci — credited as the Scope Zombie in Dawn of the Dead — will attend the event’s cast reunion. Michelucci is scheduled to be on-site for the full three days of the gathering, October 16–18, 2026.
On-screen and publishing connections
Although his character is shot in the head in the film, Michelucci can still be seen later in one sequence where that zombie interacts with bikers in the parking-lot scene. Beyond his appearance on screen, Michelucci has a background in horror publishing: his company, MW Communications, produced a well-known Dawn of the Dead Poster Magazine tied to the film.
Longstanding ties to Romero-era operations
Michelucci ran Questar magazine from the same building that housed George Romero’s Latent Image and Laurel offices, reflecting a physical proximity to some key operations of that period in horror film history.
What to expect at Living Dead Weekend
- Michelucci will attend all three days of the Living Dead Weekend reunion, giving fans multiple opportunities to meet him.
- He is described as a personable guest who enjoys meeting fans and sharing stories about his work in horror and publishing.
- Event and ticket details are available through the Living Dead Weekend website.
Fans interested in Dawn of the Dead history and memorabilia will likely find Michelucci’s appearances and publishing background of particular interest. His presence adds both an on-screen connection to the film and a link to its promotional and publishing history.
