Locals in a West Cork village are being warned to exercise caution this Halloween amid a suspected zombie virus outbreak.

The local community centre in Goleen has been turned into a survivor zone as protective measures are put in place for the community’s annual Fright Night. The move follows the spread of a virus known as “rabid 19” which is slowly turning locals into the walking dead.
