Costumes, special effects make-up, pumpkins, and beer must mean that it's nearly Halloween. One of my favorite times of the year. I love seeing everybody's costume and just having a good night out. When I was living in Las Vegas there was an annual zombie walk. Just imagine 1,000 people dressed up as zombies walking down Las Vegas Boulevard, it's a sight to see!
In London they have a similar event, but they call it World Zombie Day. Of course, I was excited for it, just imagine hundreds of zombies walking around Piccadilly Circus. As the day finally arrives, we get the fake blood out and cheap make-up kit from Sainsbury's. It actually turned out pretty well after we all tore up our clothes and applied the blood. Once everybody had got zombie-fied and bags loaded up with drinks we head off.
Just like any party we go to, we're running late. Didn't think anything of it until we didn't see a single zombie on the street and in the subway. Starting to second guess ourselves, we arrive at Piccadilly Circus. Finally, we see our first zombie and are relieved we didn't make a fool of ourselves and dress up on the wrong day, yes, we are completely capable of doing that.
Oh... my... god, these zombies are something out of The Walking Dead. People must have spent months on these costumes! There were WWII zombies, zombie clowns, zombie marvel characters, and some stuff nightmares are made from. Despite being magnificently undressed, we have a wonderful time. I had brought my Bluetooth speaker with me and started playing Thriller and other songs of the sort. It was great, people would start dancing and singing around us. It was a peaceful event, the zombies didn't get carried away and ruin property and the observers were engaging with the zombies. I'll see you guys there next year, I'm off to start planning my zombie costume.
