Zombie Walk.

From Monument, left into the Museum District, up Boulevard, towards Carytown.

Quoting RZW quoting Wikipedia:  

(also known as a zombie mob, zombie march, zombie horde, zombie lurch, zombie shamble, zombie shuffle or zombie pub crawl) 

I arrived mid-procession. An impressive procession indeed & a truly bizzarre sight to see all these bloodied-up stumbling folk waiting at the crosswalks, by the shops & processing along the pavements. I had been disdaining for weeks the concept of pre-bought Halloween costumes. This event just didn't allow for that. There had to be some level of creativity to disarray the fabric & add in the gore. 

They came and in their droves. We saw. They stumbled. 



 I didn't take a whole load of photos because there was so much to take in. 
 Costumes to look at, characters to identify. 

Some had adopted a Halloween approach (Zombie Harry Potter, Zombie Flintstone), others had gone for an everyday character-turned-zombie: a USPS man, a schoolgirl.
All ages represented from babes-in-arms to whole zombie families through to zombie gran.

 With hands outstretched; moaning & mumbling
& playing right into the pointing cameras.


Note lurching hand.

I liked that couple for their period approach & the man below for his excellent make-up: 


But my all-time favourite winner?
