To celebrate the spookiest time of the year, Phantom City Creative has created a special poster paying tribute to one of the most terrifying films ever made, George A. Romero’s genre-defining masterpiece, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.
Limited edition of 350, 11×17 signed and numbered, printed on sundance felt tex 80lbs paper. Get one here and make sure you check out the rest of Phantom City Creative’s stuff.
Thank you all for another wonderful event. So many amazing costumes. Thanks to all of our costume contest winners, to Abigail Larson for her incredible event poster, to the new zombie bride and groom, to Carytown for being such good sports about it, to New York Deli, Blood Lake, Regal Cinemas, Mark, Margaret, our new partners in crime RVA Freaks, American Cancer Society.. and anyone I can’t think of offhand.
I’m exhausted and the Halloween weekend has only begun.
We still have posters for sale ($5) and soon it will be a t-shirt (stay tuned for details on that).
We don’t have the official attendance, but we’re looking at 650+ easily.. official donations will be forthcoming as well.
Again, thank you Richmond for everything. We love you.
Dead Mason and Grey Matter
UPDATE: Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to raise over $900 ($920 exactly) in donations. Smashing last year’s donations by over $300. You guys are the best.
For all of you hungry undead that will be crawling the streets of Carytown in search of brains at tomorrow’s event, New York Deli‘s mad scientist on the street will have a little treat for you – brains. Yes, they will be serving 100% REAL BRAINS in little cups to any zombie during the walk.
Again, yes, it is real. Yes, this delicacy will be prepared and served to you for consumption. And no, you don’t have to eat it if you don’t want, but I guess we’ll see who the real undead are among us.
If you were present at Fangoria’s video shoot for GWAR’s new video, then you are one of few undead blessed by our alien overlords’ presence. If you weren’t.. tough break y’all, because it was some good times!
Sorry you missed it though, but here’s the video proof showing what you missed. You may see some of your zombie bretheren in there and if you look really really hard you can spot your very own Richmond Zombie Walk wranglers in the mix too! ENJOY!
Introducing official Richmond Zombie Walk merchandise through Zazzle featuring your zombie wranglers Dead Mason and Grey Matter! Stickers, t-shirts and baby stuff too. Huh? Anyways..
This year’s zombie walk will take place on Saturday, October 30th.

OUR PURPOSE
Our activities this year will benefit The American Cancer Society. Again,we won’t require anyone to make a donation, but if everyone can pitch in $5 each, it will be much appreciated. We were able to raise over $600 last year. An impressive goal that begs to be smashed this year. Let’s do this!
