“That’s quite a bit more than last year. It’s got  bit of  a reputation,” he said adding he’d rather not see Zombie hunters this year.
“I don’t want there to be any bad blood between people,” Scavo said.
“The first year they surprised us. It was kind of fun. But the second year there were a lot more of them. And they were firing projectiles. They were pretty good. They did stop when we asked them to. Most of them,” Scavo said.
