Richmond Zombie Walk

Richmond, Virginia's Zombie Walk has become an annual tradition attracting young and old undead from all across the east coast. At its heart, the Richmond Zombie Walk is a fundraising parade benefiting various charities. We have costume contests and sometimes stage zombie attacks on poor innocent bystanders (all in the name of fun). So put on your bloody best and join the horror show!

Need a post-skull chomping chaser?

For those who will need a nice beverage after chasing down brains, I present to you our official after party, TACO HELL! At 5p.m. after the Richmond Zombie Walk, head on down to Don’t Look Back for Zombie Hour, taco specials, a zombie make up station and the ever popular photo booth!

THEN, really get the party started at New York Deli for the NIGHT SLASHERS party where they’ll have costume cash and prizes!

I’m pumped. I may even wipe my.. face clean and put on my “goin’ out” fez. See y’all there!

Portrait of a Zombie

by

A working-class Irish family decides to care for their zombie son much to the chagrin of the neighbors and the local crime boss and all under the gaze of an American Documentary film crew. Will the Murphy’s love of their son be enough to protect them from a Dublin zombie outbreak? Or will they discover that blood runs thicker than water?

We haven’t seen it yet, but the trailer looks pretty rad. Rad.. Yeah, I said it. I’m bringing it back. Check it out.

Portrait of a Zombie is scheduled to run on Sunday, November4th at the Virginia Film Festival. Get your tickets now!

MAP OF THE DEAD. You’re going to need it.

When we come for you, where will you go? You cannot hide forever. What chance do you have if you don’t know where “safe” is? If the internet survives long enough, you may be able to consult the Map of the Dead. This map will show you the locations for food, guns, police, hospitals and the danger zones to look out for.. HA! Police. You are all the same walking meals. With or without a badge.

Even WTVR News had the foresight to warn you all back in April. And as one of their reporters fled in horror, narrowly escaping my infectious clutches, I was heard speaking of this map’s futility.

“BWAAAHAHA! You humans..  you have spirit left in you, but not for long. When the struggle to keep order becomes futile, and all of the modern conveniences of life slip away, the locations on these maps will only serve as reminder of where our meals are taken. Even now, as you prepare for our inevitable return, do you not understand.. WE ARE COMING FOR YOU!”

One word of caution. If you are anywhere near Carytown on Saturday, October 27th, may God help you!

Costume SuperCenter will help you survive the onslaught

Joining the zombie horde takes a little preparation. You’ve practiced your glazed stare, perfected your lurch, and memorized your lines (“Argh!” “BRAAAIINS!” and “Urghhhh.”) but you still need to look the part. Costume SuperCenter is sponsoring the Richmond Zombie Walk this year, and they’ve got some excellent zombie resources that we wanted to share with you.

Their Zombie Survival page has everything you need to begin your zombie transformation. Stumbling along in style is simple with one of their ready-to-wear costumes. Every zombie was somebody before the infection, and they have quite a selection of characters, from the creepy-sexy zombie nurses and beauty queens to hilariously horrible undead pirates, rock stars and rappers. There’s even a zombie chimpanzee! If old-school gore is more your style, some of the costumes feature gruesome 3D effects like jutting bones and tumbling intestines.

If you’re just looking for a few bits and pieces to finish off your look, you’ll find masks, prosthetics, properly grave-stained wigs, and other accessories. These glow-in-the-dark maggots are an especially nice touch. They also carry a huge range of make-up and special effect kits—torn skin, rotting flesh, oozing fluids—pretty much every nasty zombie affliction your undead little heart could desire. Best of all, there’s a detailed step-by-step video tutorial showing you how to use them to achieve a truly disgusting zombie face. All you need to add is drool.
