A Japanese group is trying to take people's minds off Covid-19 — by putting them in coffins surrounded by chainsaw-wielding zombies, Reuters reported.

Customers this weekend in Tokyo can lie in a two-metre (6 1/2-foot) windowed box, listening to a horror story, watching actors perform and getting poked with fake hands and squirted with water.

“The pandemic is stressful, and we hope people can get a bit of relief by having a good scream,” said Kenta Iwana, coordinator of production company Kowagarasetai — “Scare Squad” — which is putting on the 15-minute shows.
