I’m super excited to announce that the newly updated Zombie Pub Crawl website for 2008 has launched! This year’s title: Zombie Pub Crawl IV: Spawn of Death. I worked hard on this design and I’m really glad that it’s live (or undead as one might say) because it’s not too often that I get to work on a decent halloween-type site.
Haven’t heard of the Zombie Pub Crawl? Read on..
The Zombie Pub Crawl originated in Minneapolis, MN back in 2004. A hundred and fifty people dressed up as zombies and paraded on a very animated pub crawl through the streets of Minneapolis, drinking at a slew of bars along the north east side of town. ZPC II yielded an even better turnout: 300 zombies. That was the first year I attended, and I was hooked! Can you imagine 300 zombies walking down your street mid-afternoon on a crispy autumn day? Yikes!
What if there’s more? Last year’s ZPC III: Bride of the Zombie Pub Crawl brought together over 600 zombies! It surely was a sight, and although the event was moved from the NE side of Minneapolis to the West Bank, we still had a blast and there was plenty of room for us all.
It was hilarious to interact with people at the bars and on the sidewalks who weren’t dressed up as gory zombies. Oddly enough a lot of those people seemed interested in finding out how they could participate this year. With an estimated 600+ zombies this year, it could be the biggest year yet. How can you partake i the festivities? Here are a FAQ from the website:
What should I wear to the Zombie Pub Crawl?
Wear anything you want to, just not something you mind getting blood* on!!! Let’s face it — zombies are not clean people. There’s a good chance you might get covered in blood or, if you’re lucky, brains.
Will we be doing much walking?
About 1.5 miles. We will be walking like zombies, so it will take longer to get from one bar to the next. Also, you may need to stop to feast on human brains.
Should I bury my clothes now and dig them up for the Zombie pub crawl?
That’s a really, really good idea.
How much is it?
The Zombie Pub Crawl is absolutely free to both the living and the undead.
How late does the Zombie Pub Crawl go?
For all eternity… Actually, the pub crawl is scheduled until 12pm, but once a zombie mob gets started, no living man possesses the power to stop it…
What happens at 3pm?
The living are transformed into terrifying zombies by applying anything from make-up and fake blood* to a terrible curse of never-ending limbo.
How do I become a zombie?
The easiest way is to find someone who’s already a zombie and let them eat you. Short of that, you’ll have to use makeup. A little fake blood goes a long way, and it can be made at home with corn syrup (or glycerin) and food coloring. And oatmeal is the zombie’s best friend: combine it with some corn syrup for that great “rotting flesh” look.
Check the site for more details. If that doesn’t satisfy your zombie cravings, you can check out my silly fan site for the ZPC at
