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!

Mmm, 2013 brains are delicious

2010RVA, you’re brains are delicious!

We were fortunate enough to have the weather cooperate this year and the event ran perfectly. Thanks to everyone (alive and undead) who came out to support us and the American Cancer Society. You all contributed over $500 in donations this year. Fantastic! We appreciate every single penny.

Congratulations to all of our costume contest winners. They really do get harder to judge every year because you guys rock the house like that.

Special thanks to Abigail Larson for her talented work on our event posters. We are very lucky to have her. Stay tuned for next year’s special 10th anniversary poster.

Yes, next year is our 10th anniversary! It’s big deal, so expect big deal things to happen.

Thanks to Colonial Shooting Academy, Richmond Brewery Tours, RVA Magazine, everyone who shared their photographs and videos of the event, and thanks to you – my little rotten walkers.

Stinking smooches to all. Until next year.

Don’t wipe the blood too soon, Zombie Disco!

Only the undead are awarded

by

Only a few of you lucky undead will lumber away with FABULOUS CASH AND PRIZES!!! Just kidding. There’s no cash. However, we will have a some rather neat prizes and a token trophy to show you that, even though we hunger for human flesh and brains like you, we care.

Here are the categories we’ll be judging. Prizes will be awarded at the pre-walk meet up.

  1. Most Disgusting. Yes it may seem easy to acquire, but you’ll find difficulty in really grossing us out for this one.
  2. Best Couple/Group Theme. Crazed Ghoul Scouts, Beetlejuice and Lydia, Undead ex-Circuit City Employees. All fantastic. You can do better, right?
  3. Best Pop Culture Theme. (TV/Movie/Comic/Gaming) Plants vs. Zombies, The Walking Dead, Star Trek. You get it.
  4. Best Zombie Kid. If there’s one thing that really gets under people’s skin, it’s gross undead children. They’re like rats. They don’t know they’re repulsive. They just are.
  5. 2013 Zombie of the Year (Best Overall) If you’re classically gross, have a witty theme or are pulling off the compound fracture so well you make everyone cringe, you may get the most coveted prize of the event.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at their bloody best on Saturday, October 26th at 1pm at The Landing at Byrd Park. Check us out at our site’s Event Info page or on our Facebook event page for all of the gory details!

Shop smart, Shop S-mart (but not really)

SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!

Admit it. You are a fan of meat. The dead kind that walk around and try to kill you and the kind that smells awesome sizzling in a pan right next to some scrambled eggs.

I often wonder where I can acquire these two kinds of things in a  one-stop shopping experience. Well my friends, Think Geek has got you covered in this regard. They have taken the horror of salted pig flesh and humor of dead people and combined them into a special corner of the internet called “Zombies & Bacon” right over at ThinkGeek.com!

So after you bash some poor sucker of a zombie in the brains with your new Dead On Annihilator Superhammer, you’re going to need to get rid of that virus-ridden stank with a Bacon Scented Air Freshener.

Get you some at ThinkGeek.com. Yup. You’re welcome.
