Welcome to the Zombie Hotel!

The main characters in Zombie Hotel are two zombie kids named Fungus and Maggot. They try to act like normal humans so they can go to their local school. Their family and other strange guests live at the hotel run by their parents.

Fungus and Maggot become friends with Sam, a human boy. Sam's mom is often away, so he spends a lot of time with them. Sam soon finds out that his new friends are actually zombies with special powers! The three of them become a team. Sam uses an old railway carriage as his secret hangout spot.

Keeping the Secret

A big part of the show is about Fungus and Maggot trying to keep their zombie nature a secret. They don't want anyone at school to find out! Sam helps them prevent their secret from being discovered.
