The London Dungeon’s new digital poster showing Mary Tudor as a zombie is proof of England’s “knee-jerk anti-Catholicism”, according to a leading historian of the period.
A digital poster for the London Dungeon featuring the sudden transformation of Queen Mary I into a zombie-like character was banned by the Advertising Standards Authority for scaring children.
The advert, which ran on digital screens on London Underground stations, featured an image of the 16th century queen sitting on a chair and then morphing into a monster with sunken eyes, pale skin, a wide-open mouth and a scarred face.
