You have 2 chances, October 15 in Williamsburg and then October 22nd in Richmond. There’s so much happening at these events I’ll just let you read the info below!
Abigail Larson at Gallery 5 Tonight
Our favorite local artist, Abigail Larson, will be showing her latest illustrations starting tonight (Friday, October 7) 6pm at Gallery 5 along with Jonathan Smith. Yay for First Fridays!
We have been fortunate enough to have Abigail create our event posters for the past 2 years. She really knows how to capture the spirit of our event and walk the fine line between the macabre and gross. Check out her 2011 poster and her 2010 poster.
So all of you Richmond undead should crawl out of the ditches, put down that half-eaten corpse and show Abigail some love. You may catch some of your rotting brethren there. *hint hint.
Abigail’s work will be on display until October 28, 2011.
Zombie Film Festival at The Byrd Theater
Our pals at The Byrd Theater are hosting this amazing event on Saturday, October 29th starting at 11:00 am. (Yes, we realize it’s on the same day as our event, but now you have something to do before and after stretching your legs at the Richmond Zombie Walk. )
If you’re familiar with the original “Litter in the Aisles” video they play before every movie at the Byrd, then you’ll love this zombified parody of it. Can you spot your undead Zombie Walk masters DeadMason and GreyMatter? Bravo to the VCU Brandcenter students who created it.

“Zombies March” video (behind the scenes)
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!
