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!
It’s always good to practice beforehand.. Want to brush up on your zombie crawl before the Richmond Zombie Walk?
Regal Cinemas is throwing their annual Zombie Funeral and it’s a while lot of fun! BE THERE!

Congratulations to our poster contest winner for 2010, Abigail Larson!
I could go on and on about it, but see for yourself.
Thanks to everyone who entered this year’s contest. It’s always a pleasure to see such creativity bringing out the gross in everyone.
Stay tuned for date/time/location information for the annual make up workshops. We want to make sure our undead look the part, right?
WHEN
This year’s zombie walk will take place on Saturday, October 30th.
Pre-walk meet up at Byrd Park (Boat Lake) is at 1pm and the actual walk will begin on the sidewalk in front of Kroger on W. Cary Stert in Carytown immediately after.

Plan your rides! This starting point is about 1 mile from the initial meet up spot.
Do you want to go beyond the basic bloody mess of a freshly turned zombie? Luckily we have some of the goriest zombies who are willing to show you how fun making rotting flesh can be. Make up and costume workshops will be held in October. Upcoming details can be found at RichmondZombieWalk.com.

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!

DeadMason is going, are you? BE THERE!
I know this may be old news to some of you, but we haven’t said anything about it here and I’m almost ashamed for it.
Robert Kirkman’s graphic novel is coming to AMC as a live action tv series in October!
I’ve always been a huge fan of the graphic novel and to see this actually making the leap to television is one of the most exciting things to happen to the genre. Well, this and I’m interested to see the World War Z movie adaptation come out of pre-production hell.
Apparently I’ve been buried in the earth cowering from the summer heat too long to know that all kinds of Walking Dead production images, behind the scenes videos and interviews have been floating around the internet since last year.
Catch up (as I’ve been doing) at the show’s production blog and keep an eye out for this one later this fall.
