The Undead Take To The Streets, Again!

After a cold winter in Adelaide, it seems the city streets will run warm with the tides of blood soaked Zombies! October 9th, 2010, sees the 4th Annual Adelaide Zombie Walk. Expect to see characters and creatures groan and stumble down Grenfell Street & Currie Street, from Rymill park to Light Square.

The grotesque group are looking for more victims to join this year, with over 3,600 members already in its ranks on Facebook. As scary as they may look, these Zombies are helping to support Adelaides Foodbank by each donating a gold coin or a tin of food. Though their flesh may be falling from their bones, their hearts appear to be in the right place.

Last years cry for “brains” saw over 1500 Zombies traipsing through the Rundle Mall, with this years walk likely to double that amount. A fabulous police presence helps ensure the safety of Zombies and motorists alike as they stumble along the streets.

This is an evening for all ages, with Zombie babies, grandmas and even dogs spotted on the previous years walks. Anyone interested in joining the walk is asked to ‘Bloody Up’, with recipes for fake blood available on both Adelaide Zombie Walks Facebook page and Website.

When the group meets at 7pm, in Rymill park, they spark both a curiousity and cautiousness in those that pass by. Half an hour later, the walk starts in earnest, with spectators and the general public being greeted with a sea of bloodied bodies, torn appendages and eerie eyes.

Zombie Friendly Venues will be happening all around Adelaide, with local business promoting gruesome specials. There will be 2 major after-parties - The Proscenium presents 'Zombie Outbreak' @ The Old Adelaide Gaol, and 'DEAD on Light' @ L!VE on Light, Light Square.

Zombie Walks happen all over the world, with the current world record holder being England, with over 4000 Zombies taking part. Adelaide Zombie Walk representatives aren’t looking for fame though, with many getting into costumes ‘Just for Fun’. The welcomed addition of Adelaide Foodbank means that many participants will be able to take their love of all that is gory and create a positive community influence.
