If you’re traveling from Tokyo to Osaka, the Shinkansen is almost always going to be the fastest and most convenient way to get there. Next month, though, it’s also going to be the most terrifying.
At 5:18 p.m. on the evening of October 19, a Nozomi super express, bound for Shin Osaka, will pull out of Tokyo Station. Before reaching its destination, though, a section of the bullet train will be overrun by zombies.

JR Central promises that the outbreak will be contained to Cars 15 and 16 of the train.
Passengers who are in those two cars, however, can look forward to/dread the zombies invading the space and looking for tasty brains to feed on. JR Central, along with partner Kowagarasetai (the haunted house design company behind Japan’s haunted toilet and drive-in-haunted house) say that more than 10 types of zombies will appear, including zombie conductors.

The entire zombie experience lasts for roughly two hours of the approximately two-and-a-half-hour Nozomi Shinkansen ride from Tokyo to Shin-Osaka.
