Trivia[]
- The original Disco Zombie (or the so-called Dancer Zombie) has a Michael Jackson-like model, which importantly includes the sequin glove. However, prior to Jackson's death, his estate opposed the inclusion of the zombie, as it resembled the singer 'too closely'. As a result, the original dancing zombie was removed by Pop Cap, and was replaced with a Zombie, who has a more generic appearance to a stereotypical disco dancer.
