Zombie Crawl

/ Tracy Abell

        

Last night was the Zombie Crawl along the 16th Street Mall in Denver.
Wildebeest has a love/hate thing for zombies.

When I read about this event, I was positive he’d want to go
and I was excited spectators were invited to wear duct-tape Xs on their
chests to signal a willingness to be attacked.

I thought Wildebeest would want an X so he could practice skills learned
from The Zombie Survival Guide.

But when I told him, his response was more along the lines of
"Are you out of your freakin’ mind?!"

The teen knew better than his mom, that’s for sure.

BucketHead zombie didn’t scare me but was convincing in a droll kind of way.

This group was very convincing with its stiff gait and vacant eyes.

These two showed us a sheep’s head.  No biggie.  As long as I didn’t look too closely.

This bride was with a zombie groom and no-nonsense in her pursuit of brains.

Here’s a mob preying on an Xed victim who screamed and screamed.
Truly scary.  My heart raced every time they converged on another victim.

Wildebeest watching from a safe distance.

Wildebeest’s favorite action shot: spewing blood.  (Note: all photos by Wildebeest)

Wildebeest and I considered this year a recon mission, and have decided
we’d like to participate next year.

We want a group, though.

The people in groups seemed to stay in character better than the singles
and couples who sometimes strolled along in their bloody and torn clothing
as if they were out on lunch hour.

I have a whole year to work on my walk.

    • The newspaper article said 40 countries around the world coordinated a flash-mob “Thriller” dance routine. Unfortunately, we missed it because I didn’t have all the info straight. I really would’ve loved seeing that.
      Maybe I need to work on my walk AND my dance moves for next year.
