“Dead City” is set in Worcester

Last month, the Silver City became Dead City during production of the sequel. Walking dead Taunton took over. This month it’s Worcester’s turn.

The zombies have invaded Main Street and Norwich Street as a manufacturing facility Walking Dead: Dead City continues on the South Coast, and Paxton resident Joanna MacGugan was there on Thursday to see it first hand.

“I was a fan of Walking dead “It took me quite a while to figure out they were filming downtown, so I decided to park at the library to see what was going on,” she said.

The set was open to the public while crew members transformed Main Street into a post-apocalyptic New York City.

“It was incredible to see how they changed everything,” MacGugan said.

Visiting a film set means seeing the production closely before it’s edited, and MacGugan has seen firsthand what happens when a mistake is discovered on set.

“They built a subway entrance, but they made a mistake. It said “Street 72” instead of “72”.^nd Street,’” she said. “They realized it late in the game and hired someone to cover it up. Everywhere else 72 Street went, they put up posters and put graffiti.”

Transforming the set gave MacGugan a chance to experience the magic of the film, but the show’s stars were nowhere to be seen.

“They were sneaky about the occupation,” she said. “They smuggled them in through a back door while everyone was near the front door.”

Walking Dead: Dead City continues production in Taunton until Wednesday and reports of remaining zombies are sweeping the town.
