Disney is setting out to create “the longest howl of all time” as part of their “ZOMBIES 2” AWOO Challenge.
The interactive promotion is inviting kids to send in videos of their longest werewolf howls for the chance to be featured in a compilation video creating the longest howl of all time, which will be released on National Werewolf Day (February 6).
As a bonus, kids who enter will have the chance to win 1 of 25 Zombies 2 prize packs featuring a bunch of swag from the upcoming Disney Channel original movie.
In addition, fans can also participate in the “ZOMBIES 2” AWOO Challenge by visiting a special “ZOMBIES 2” Surprise Lockers event in three locations across the country to record and upload their video in-person. The “ZOMBIES 2” Surprise Lockers events are scheduled for Saturday, February 1 and Sunday, February 2 in the following cities: San Diego, California (Fashion Valley Mall), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (King of Prussia), and Louisville, Kentucky (Jurassic Quest at the Kentucky Exposition Center).
Why a werewolf challenge for a movie about zombies? Zombies 2 is the continuing adventures of Seabrook High students Addison and Zed, whose budding romance is threatened in the upcoming sequel by the arrival of werewolves.
The Zombies movies aren’t really my cup of tea, but I can appreciate Disney making monsters mainstream and coming up with fun challenges that encourage kids to howl like werewolves.
Zombies 2 premieres on Disney Channel on February 14, 2020. And if you’re interested in contributing your wolf howl to the longest howl of all time you can do so at z2awoo.com.
