NANTICOKE, Pa. — In Luzerne County, several streets are shut down, but not for the reason you may think.
Film crews are taking over Walnut, Prospect, and Main Streets.
They are filming a horror movie aptly named "Nanticoke."
The zombie flick follows a baseball star's return to his hometown, where he uncovers a military experiment gone wrong.
One of the actors is a Scranton native who's very excited to be working so close to home.
"It is such a community builder, just to see the love and support. I'm really excited that this is getting off the ground, and I just really hope that the people of Nanticoke have something to look forward to. I spent some time in Los Angeles as well, but being back here and doing a project like this in my backyard, it's awesome," said Austin Monahan.
Crews will be filming in various parts of the city throughout July.
