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!

7th Annual Richmond Zombie Walk!

by

GALLOPING CADAVERS!

 

WHEN?

The 7th Annual Richmond Zombie Walk will take place on Saturday, October 29th. 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 Street in Carytown immediately after.

WHERE?

This year, as always, we will walk Carytown. And that’s it. You will find that it is exhausting to lumber around just after a few blocks. In previous years some of the locations that we walked based on popular suggestions have been “hit or miss”. We lose attendance with each new location, and there is some confusion with our out-of-town undead.

Yes, the theater actually wants as many undead as possible to have a pre-zombie walk zombie walk in the mall! Come all bloodied up to see the new movie Zombieland and get your rigor mortis worked out by taking laps with us around the mall!

Wait, you may be thinking “Shucks. I’d like to go, but I have a pretty intense shopping agenda that day and I have no time to get ‘dolled up’ for the event!” Fret not! In order to benefit their food drive, just bring in a canned good and the theater will have a make up artist on-site for the donating brain eater on the go.

There is also going to be a contest for “Best Overall Zombie,” “Best themed/original Zombie,” and “Best impression of a Zombie.” The winners will receive 2 movie tickets, and a Zombieland movie pack.

So meet up in the theater lobby at 12.pm. and anyone that participates gets a Zombieland poster.

I can’t wait! “Dawn of the Dead” stars, music, make-up, the movie Zombieland! I’m literally falling to pieces with excitement, and it’s all happening well before the Richmond Zombie Walk on Saturday, October 24th. I hope you can make it next week to walk with us and see the movie. See ya there!

VCU Bowe Street Deck, 5th Floor, Room 517 – Directions

Got questions about obtaining that freshly torn flesh look without the use of a jagged knife? Do you know how to handle your infected wounds in case of a zombie attack? And above all, what will you wear?

At this year’s Zombie Workshop we’ll cover all the gory details.

Zombie Flesh F/X
With liquid latex, fake blood, and a little bit of patience you’ll see how simple it is to create amazingly realistic torn bleeding skin anywhere on your body. You do not want to miss this demo!

Be a Zombie or Just Look Like One
So do you need to actually need to crawl out of the ground to get that look? We’ll show you some tricks on how to achieve various stages of “deadness” and get those digs nice and grimy without the stank.. hopefully. And if you’ve got some cool tips to share, bring it! We highly encourage tip swapping.

We’ll get you straight before the big date.

Questions? Leave us a comment!

bloody kisses,
DeadMason

Full steam ahead!

Hello September, thanks for showing up so quickly.

We’re knee-deep in body parts trying to figure out how to make things go. So make sure to starve yourself. There are plenty of brains just waiting to be gnawed upon!

October 24th can’t come soon enough!
