World Zombie Day today

374

The streets of London on World Zombie Day today were filled with packs of fans of horror flicks like Dawn Of The Dead and TV shows like the Walking Dead.

They dragged their lifeless bodies around wearing different awful costumes including a zombie Nazi soldier, zombie newlyweds, a zombie Mexican, a zombie clown and even a zombie Smurf.

World Zombie Day is an international annual event that grew from Pittsburgh’s first Zombie Walk at Monroeville Mall in 2006, the site where George Romero filmed Dawn of the Dead.

The aim is to help all fans of zombie culture come together as well as relieve hunger and homelessness through charity fundraising. The London event supports homelessness charity St Mungo’s Broadway .

More than 50 cities worldwide participate in World Zombie Day, including New York, Pittsburgh, Paris, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, and Tokyo.
