As a part of World Zombie Day we will be holding the Atlanta Horrorfest Zombie Walk on Sunday, October 26th, 2008. It will be the closing ceremony for AHF 08. World Zombie Day is the day that all ghouls from Kentucky to Kokomo, from Atlanta to Afghanistan, from Washington to Wales, and from Pittsburgh to Puerto Rico can celebrate together in a near orgy of blood covered bliss!!
Every major and minor city of the world that has ever hosted a zombie walk can band together and give one solid groan heard WORLDWIDE for the zombie cause!
RISE UP UNDEAD BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!
NOW IS OUR TIME TO GROAN AND SHAMBLE FOR WORLD HUNGER!!
The participating living dead are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to each zombie walk starting point. A mass effort will be taken on worldwide to prove that charity, goodwill, and zombie love can flourish in every nation regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, or religion, and that no matter where or how we die…
WE WILL COME BACK!!!

What is a Zombie Walk?
A zombie walk is when you gather as many fiends together as you can and have them all made up as zombies as you all march through public areas of your town.
ALL AGES!!!
Where do we meet at?
T.B.A.
Where did this idea come from?
The zombie walk was started in Calgary in 2005 and there was a write up in Rue Morgue magazine at the beginning of 2006 about it that directed me to ZombieWalk.com. There I discovered that this thing was growing bigger than just Calgary, it has begun spreading like wildfire to several states in the US and even going international to places like Brisbane, Australia. I highly recommend you watch the documentary above to see exactly what goes on.
How do I become a Zombie???
Becoming a zombie does take work. I plan on having a SMALL crew of make-up artist out helping everyone become undead for donations. I don't want any half-assed zombies following me around. I do HIGHLY recommend doing your make-up and clothing at home because we will never have time nor the money to do everyone. For good tips on being a nasty zombie, check out these links: Terror4fun.com www.phillyburbs.com/zombies/costume.html
Or just do a search online for any information you need.
The make-up you will need aren't too expensive and can be found at most costume stores in Atlanta or at a shop in your area.
Thats right it takes people like you to help run this here thing. So this is what we need.
Special FX/Make-up artists - if you got any pictures of your work, please send it my way. We are anticipating hundreds of zombies, and while most will show up in make-up we will need extra hand helping them touch their stuff up and working on the ones who show up early for full make-up.
What will you get out of this?
We are offering a free pass for everyday you participate. you more than likely won't be working the ENTIRE time, so you can still enjoy the festivities!
STREET TEAM - We need YOU to help make this thing big, wanna see this event bigger and better every year??? Then we need alot of people out here this year!!! I need you to give out flyers at your campus, send all your friends on myspace event invites, post our banner and artwork on your site and others, Make sure everybody knows that this is one of the events of the year! Unfortunately i can do a free pass for the street team, but we'll make sure you get hooked up in some form or another. I'll buy ya a beer.
