Shamble Yo Ass to the New Jersey Zombie Walk!

As we shuffle aimlessly toward our holy holiday of Halloween, Asbury Park, New Jersey, gears up for its once-a-year celebration of the living-challenged and their screaming, flailing, running food of choice. JOIN US!! Here's the info...

The New Jersey Zombie Walk will take place in downtown Asbury Park (Convention Hall, 1300 Ocean Ave.) on Saturday, October 30th, starting at 11:00 am. Zombies of all ages are encouraged to participate in this free, day-long, and family-friendly event. Come in costume, or visit one of a team of professional makeup artists that will be on hand to give zombie makeovers. (Please note that there will be a fee of $20 to have your makeup done.)

In addition to the walk, there will zombie-themed events and entertainment throughout the day, and many of Asbury Park's restaurants and shops will be offering zombie-themed menus, specials, and discounts to all Zombie Walk participants. This year the New Jersey Zombie Walk will once again partner with the Central Jersey Blood Center of Shrewsbury. A mobile blood bank will be on-site during the event and will accept donors throughout the day.

New this year is the first annual “ZombieCon”, a convention dedicated to all things horror and zombie. In addition to costuming and makeup supplies, the ZombieCon will feature local artists, filmmakers, musicians, and vendors. Also new this year, the New Jersey Zombie Walk will attempt to break The Guinness Book of World Records' record for the “World’s Largest Gathering of Zombies”.

5 p.m. - Following the Guinness World Record count, the Zombie Walk begins! Zombies will pour out of the Base Camp and up onto the Boardwalk. They will begin lurching down the Boardwalk, towards the Carousel House and Cookman Avenue.

Following the walk downtown Cookman Avenue will be closed off to traffic to host a variety of contests and performances including a costume pageant and a Jello-brain eating contest.

There are other evening events throughout Asbury Park following the walk. Zombies can attend a Halloween Dance Party at Convention Hall or go to the Asbury Lanes for a Halloween Carnival (for those 18 and up) with a horror-themed line-up of bands and performers. Tickets for both events will be available to Zombie Walk participants at a discounted price.

Zombies To Eat NYC

BRAAAAAAAAAAAINS. It takes brains to organize a propper zombie walk, and it takes evil rotting geniuses to organize one that mounts an attack of NJ zombies against the sleepy populace of a little town called New York City. Of course, when the goal is to reach George Romero..it's a no...umm...you get the idea.

On May 16th the ombie infection spreads from New Jersey across the Hudson to New York! This Zombie Walk is 'flash mob' style; there won't be any makeup artists on hand so come dressed in your zombie makeup and ready to go! Corpses will gather at a secret location (to be revealed soon). Wait! There's more! George A. Romero HIMSELF is inviting zombies to attend the NYC premiere of his newest film Survival of the Dead immediately after the walk! The first 300 zombies to arrive at the gathering location and find the "ticket master" will get in to see the movie!

This Zombie Walk is open to all ages, but movie tickets will only be available if you're 18+ (Survival is R-rated). Tickets for the premiere are FIRST COME - FIRST SERVED! More details on the gathering location, how to spot the "ticket master", and info about a really awesome costume contest all will be announced soon!
