Zombie Love
Halloween
is my favorite holiday. I always thought it would be great to be born on or even
married on Halloween. Weird, I know, but I love weird. This year I took my
family to a charity event called the Zombie Walk. For a few cans of food, we
got painted up like zombies, even my four year old, though he insisted on no
blood. Everyone else loved getting sprayed with blood that tasted remarkably
like corn syrup. I even opened my arms wide, closed my eyes and said hit me.
Sometimes you just have to embrace the bizarre. I adore my little zombie crew.
Aren’t they cute in a strange, walking dead kind of way?
The
only thing I didn’t account for was that a Zombie Walk actually included
walking. It was fun at first joining the hundreds of zombies marching around
the village and watching the reactions of all the people driving by or gawking
through store windows wondering what the heck was going on. Had the Zombie
Apocalypse come at last? Mostly there was a lot of zombie love. People leaning
out of their car windows to take photos of the zombie hoard, including my
children and especially my youngest who heard thrilled cries of “Zombie baby!”
like that was a good thing. The adults who had done this before really hammed
it up, dressing like prom kings and queens and construction workers with
screwdrivers and saws stabbing through their hard hats. The zombie who did my
own make up gave new meaning to pencil neck geek. About half way through I was
looking for a short cut back. I know I’m a cheater, but I was tired and all the
brains were spoken for.
Later
that night there was a zombie feast and zombie prom. I can’t really tell you
about the prom because my little zombies aren’t drinking age, so we bailed
before then. What I can tell you about is the zombie wedding. A couple who met
at last year’s Zombie Walk got hitched for real at this year’s event. Isn’t the
bride beautiful? The snow white dress makes a perfect foil for her decaying flesh
and I thought the black roses were a nice touch. She gives Bonella a run for
her money in the creepy department. The groom even more so. He’s the guy in the
back behind another gruesome member of the wedding party.
I
wonder what they’ll tell their kids one day when they find the wedding photo
album? At least they’ll know their parents knew how to have fun. Writers live
in their imaginations all the time, spinning stories about zombies, witches,
werewolves and vampires and readers love to visit there, but only in October
can you see zombies on parade in the real world. At least for now. Halloween isn’t just about kids and candy,
not if you don’t want it to be. Only one week to go. Enjoy the month before
it’s over.

Sounds like you had a lot of fun.
A zombie wedding? Very interesting. And your *crew* pix is hilairous! Thanks for sharing.
That has got to be the most awesomest idea ever. Long live (errr, die?) the Zombie Walk! Thanks for telling us about it hon :-)
My sister in law loves zombies! She went to one zombie walk last year and two this year. I'm going to share this link with her. I'm sure she will enjoy it. Looks like you had fun! :)
What a hoot! Sounds like you're taking your own advice and enjoying October to the hilt. Thanks for sharing the pix. Loved them!
Ooh, it sounds very cool! I love Halloween too :)
Great pictures! How unique, a zombie wedding:)

Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
(1) If you want your ex back.
(2) If you want to stop having bad dreams.
(3) You want to be promoted in your office.
(4) You want women/men to run after you.
(5) If you want a child.
(6) You want to be rich.
(7) You want to tie your husband/wife to be yours forever.
