Everland, operated by Samsung C&T's resort division, announced Tuesday that it is rolling out exclusive food, merchandise and hands-on experiences for the Blood City Zero season, the signature horror zone of its autumn festival.

The Alps Kuche restaurant inside Blood City will operate under an "out-of-control laboratory" concept throughout the festival period. The menu features black chicken curry rice, spicy jajang tteokbokki and juice served in blood-bag packaging. Guests can also assemble a "lab antidote kit," mixing energy drinks as if concocting a cure.

A new line of limited-edition horror merchandise has also launched. Visitors can find 38 Blood City items at major product stores — including skull-themed hooded capes, gloves, headbands, nap cushions and horned cap hats.

Visitors can also transform themselves into zombies through dedicated experience booths. At the Zombie Costume Room and Zombie Makeup Salon, professional artists apply realistic wound makeup or full zombie costumes, and a horror-concept photo booth is available for four-cut portrait sessions.

A beer festival running alongside the horror zone gives visitors a chance to enjoy European brews in the crisp autumn air. At Holland Village, styled as an open-air European café, guests can sample Heineken — the flagship Dutch beer brand — along with La Trappe, Desperados and other varieties.

Now in its 10th year, Blood City has drawn a cumulative total of about 10 million visitors, making it the park's signature autumn horror attraction. This year, Everland collaborated with film director Lee Seok-hoon — known for the films "Pirates" and "Confidential Assignment 2" — to transform the entire zone into a cinematic space resembling a large-scale movie set.

"This autumn, Blood City Zero was designed to fully immerse visitors in its world — combining a large outdoor immersive performance with spine-tingling food and merchandise, and makeup experiences," an Everland official said. "We hope guests enjoy a special day at Everland where thrilling attractions meet a rich autumn dining experience."
