Something’s rising in north Spokane. Dawn of the Donut, Spokane’s only zombie-themed doughnut shop, opened Friday to a line that wrapped around the shop at 3402 N. Division St., selling more than 2,000 doughnuts in five hours. Zombie movie posters cover the walls. The ceiling is painted to look like a crime scene, covered in red, “bloody” handprints and footprints. A coffin-shaped display case is filled with the deep-fried confections; a twisted intestine covered in apples, brain fritters and raspberry-dipped zombie fingers. Owner Marty Judnich said the idea was simple: bring together two of his passions into one place. “I’m really into doughnuts and I’m really into zombies,” he said/Kaitlin Gillaspie, SR. More here.

Question: Is this clever marketing scheme enough to lure you to Spokane for a doughnut?
