Zombie Walks

A zombie walk (also known as a zombie mob, zombie march, zombie horde, zombie lurch,zombie shamble, zombie shuffle or zombie pub crawl) is an organized public gathering of people who dress up in zombie costumes. Usually taking place in an urban centre, the participants make their way around the city streets and through shopping malls in a somewhat orderly fashion and often limping their way towards a local cemetery or other public space.

During the event participants are encouraged to remain in character as zombies and to communicate only in a manner consistent with zombie behavior. This may include grunting, groaning and slurred, moaning calls for 'brains'. It should be noted that zombie behavior is a hot topic of debate. Purists who draw their definitions from the original Living Dead films will claim that a zombie would never have the ability to call for 'brains' and furthermore that a zombie needs only living or freshly killed flesh for its sustenance, and not the brain in particular.

Zombie walks have become relatively common in large cities, especially in North America, often becoming annual traditions, though some are spontaneous zombie "flash mob" events. On October 30, 2008, Grand Rapids, Michigan, became the largest site of zombies anywhere in the world with well over 4,000+ zombies showing up to this event.
