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!
What’s all the fuss about anyways? Why is it that the public’s crush on zombies continues to thrive after so many years? True love never dies I suppose and in this case it never has.
CNN.com’s Doug Gross (how fitting) gives us an insight into “Why we love those rotting, hungry, putrid zombies”.. Read it here
CALLING ALL WALKING CORPSES
Saturday October 3rd, 12 p.m.
Regal Cinemas Southpark Stadium 16 in Colonial Heights, VA
300 Southpark Circle, Colonial Heights, VA – (800) 326-3264 x382
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!
Want an excuse to be a zombie before the Zombie Walk?
Want to show off your make up skills and can’t wait for the big event?
We need zombies for a couple of promotional events in October.
A couple of movie theaters would like some zombies to promote the premiere of the movie Zombieland.
And we’ve been invited to Monsterfest in Chesapeake on Saturday, October 10.
We can’t promise any compensation, except for good fun and maybe, MAYBE tickets to Zombieland. i can’t promise those, but i asked. we’ll see.
if you’d like to help us out, send us a message at info@richmondzombiewalk.com with “FREELANCE ZOMBIE” in the subject line and we’ll keep you updated as details trickle in.
many thanks to you all,
