In a former hair salon in a strip mall in Dundalk, a woman is screaming. It's not the bats, the grunting zombie or the faceless, blood-spattered nurses that make her holler. Kim Yates is yelling because some numbskull sat on what appears to be a pile of intestines. "This place is a mess," says Yates, shaking her wild mass of dark brown curls. Mark Roby, a 32-year-old contractor, licks fake blood from his fingers and looks at her thoughtfully. "It's supposed to be," he says.
