Happy Birthday To US!

One year ago today, we opened up our little shop to the public for the first time. I can’t believe that just one year later we’ve endured the worst winter in 30 years, the worst summer of rain since the 1800’s, our business flooded not once, not twice but FIVE TIMES and yet we’ve managed to keep our doors open thanks to our amazing friends, customers and insanely generous strangers. It’s such an honor to mean enough to a city that they will help us out when we are down - whether that means baking super creepy baked goods, pitching in with cleaning, painting, ripping out carpet, making donations in our honor on top of shopping in our creepy little shop.


Just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you who have gone out of their way to care, shop, help and organize events in our name. We love and adore each and every one of you for caring about us and our success. Here’s to another year!!

Zombie Walk was a Success!


MANY THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SHOWED UP TODAY! WE HAD SUCH A SUCCESSFUL DAY!


We had over 300+ undead show up to walk to raise awareness for the Central Iowa Shelter and Services raising well over $300 as well as hundreds of pounds of donations including toothbrushes, soap, shampoos and other items needed for the homeless shelter!


A more accurate money and donation count will be announced by Dallas J. Moore by Monday so please be sure to visit DesMoinesZombieWalk.com for more info!


Many thanks to Erin and Gary Wickering for helping hand out the raffle tickets and many thanks to all our make-up artists who got the zombies ready to go! Lenore Orosco, Shawn Palek and Meagan Chapman! Also - JOB YAMEN for donating and drawing the coolest raffle prizes ever!


Also many thanks to the Mid Iowa Rollers, The Des Moines Derby Dames, Carrie Latovic, Sleepy Hollow, Flarecaster, Dorothea’s Closet, Ryan Gillispie, Chad Wiley & Metro Concerts Live, the minister that made the sweet biohazard decore, Kyle Grubbs and MORE! If I missed anyone. I apologize! I just wanted to get the pictures posted before the zombie horde swarmed down on me!!!
