Plot

[edit]

Hana is the only human resident of Moon Street. She lived with 5 different zombies; each of the zombies have a unique basis. On the very first episode, they appeared from a graveyard and were affected by a magical moon, earning them different types of brains.[6] Their names are Zombill, Zomgirl, Zomjack, Zomson, Zomkong, and Zompet (a zombified bat), all of which their names start with "Zom".

In Season 2, all characters can live in day instead of night thanks to sunscreen and more characters were added including Zombo, Zomchee, Zomko, and a dog-like zombie named Momo.
