Hey Seattle Zombies our friends in Centralia are going for the world record, lets show our zombie support and let the rest of the world know Washington loves its zombies!

ZOMBIE EVENT THIS WEEKEND - 10/17/09 - 4-8pm

Hearse & Rad Rod Cruise and Zombie Tromp Costume Event Attempt to break the World Record for the Largest Gathering of Zombies in Centralia, WA!!!

Jupiter Arts Center & Gallery, a non-profit arts organization located on N. Tower Avenue in Historic Downtown Centralia in conjunction with the Fairway Shopping Center & KMNT is sponsoring the First Annual Hearse & Rat Rod Cruise and Zombie Tromp Costume Event that will take place this Saturday, rain or shine.

The procession of the Hearses & Rad Rods will meet in the new Timberland Bank parking lot in Chehalis at 4pm. The troop of cars will be led by by the Coffin Cruisers Hearse Club from Portland, Oregon and the Rain City Hease Club out of Seattle, Washington. Heases & Rat Rods from as early as 1910 will be a part of the parade of cars and show. The cars will begin their processional parade through downtown Chehalis, the Fairway Shopping Center and into Downtown Historic Centralia to cruise downtown. Following the cruise all the cars will be parked downtown for a "Show & Shine" Car Show along Tower Avenue. This is a rare opportunity to see Hearse cars up close and many of the Hearse owners will be bringing their best Halloween costumes & effects to add to the fun of this event. All Hease and Rad Rods are welcome to participate and can still sign up to be a part of the event by contacting the car coordinator at 360-220-2256.

In addition to the Hearse & Rad Rod Cruise, the Zombie Tromp Walk About will be taking place in Historic Downtown Centralia as the cars are on display. This will be the largest Halloween themed event to ever take place in Lewis County. An attempt is being made to break the world record for the most zombies gathered in one location. The current record stands at 4,026. ALL ages are welcome and every person dressed in zombie costume will count towards breaking the record. The official Zombie Tromp will start around 5pm as the zombie costume parade begins circling on Tower Avenue around the show & shine portion of the car show. For shutterbugs this will be a photo opportunity not to be missed.

All "zombies" must check in at the Jupiter Arts Center to be counted towards the record breaking attempt.

After the Zombie Tromp, zombies are welcome to attend the 101st Birthday Party Celebration at the McMenamen's Olympic Club featuring live music or catch a bite to eat at the Hub City Club where they are offering food & drink specials for the night.

Jupiter Arts Center opened its doors at the beginning of summer and is currently featuring the gallery's forth exhibition in honor of Halloween, "OtherWorlds." For more information you can contact Jupiter Arts Center & Gallery at JupiterArts@live.com. Jupiter Arts Center is located at 325 N. Tower Avenue, Centralia, WA 98531 360-807-4280 or 360-324-0224.

What is a Zombie Walk?

According to Wikipedia: A zombie walk (aka zombie mob, zombie march, zombie horde, zombie lurch, zombie shamble, zombie shuffle or zombie pub crawl) is an organized public gathering of people who dress up in zombie costumes. Usually taking place in an urban centre, the participants make their way around the city streets and through shopping malls in a somewhat orderly fashion and often limping their way towards a local cemetery or other public space (a series of taverns in the case of a zombie pub crawl).

Zombie walks are a lot of fun (to put it simply). We gather in a large horde and shuffle around together acting like zombies trying to disrupt the everyday lives of the living. Once everyone is in character it’s typical to see zombies trying to grab other fake body parts and fight over them while grunting and moaning loudly. They also stare and lurch slowly towards “spectators” then, when they least suspect it, jump or screech real close. We like to watch what happens when 10+ zombies cram in an elevator then lurch out and pretend to attack when the doors open. The possibilities are endless but once the whole horde gets going there is no other feeling like it.

Do’s and Dont’s: The safety talk

1. Do obey traffic laws. It’s un-zombie like but important for everyone’s safety and the law. This means walking when the light says so and stopping accordingly. Although it might be exciting to run out into the street and scare drivers to a screeching halt, don’t do it. (We don’t want to be responsible for car accidents!)


2. Don’t block traffic! Obstruction of traffic (especially Downtown) is the main reason the Police might interfere and make us disperse. We will be traveling in a very large group that will likely spill over the sidewalk. When that starts to happen, grab a few of your brethren and go to the other side of the street. Or… let the mob pass, feast on a victim, and then join the end of the mob!

3. Do not impede sales at any business on route. This means not bottle-necking entrances to retail shops. By all means stare hungrily at people inside of shops and restaurants, but please don’t leave bloody handprints on their windows!

4. Do find Zombie friendly businesses. If you know anyone along any of the Zombie walk routes, make some pre-arrangements so that we can give them extra attention.

5. Do not harass anyone who isn’t getting a kick out of the experience! Use common sense, if they are trying to avoid zombies or showing a unpleasant face don’t bother with them.

S a f e t y !

As a hungry Zombie, you are going to have to feed. You need living flesh, so other Zombies are not an option. You have two choices:

1. Hunt down by-standers and take your chances that someone, walking along, minding their business, is willing to let themselves be mauled. Try this procedure: Pick a target, ham up your approach, stand five feet in front of them licking your lips and wait until they show signs of wanting to play along. Do not just attack people! You might end up with a knuckle sandwich!

2. Find or bring a plain clothed healthy volunteer with a “Victim” name tag on! This is highly recommended. These “victims” will endure multiple Zombie “attacks” and will have their chalk lines drawn on the sidewalks of Seattle as evidence.

*Just be comfortable. Due to the irregular and jerky movements of the Zombie’s walk, you will find yourself very clumsy. Moving slowly and wearing stable shoes (like sneakers) should keep you limping along just fine! It also may get cold and wet outside. Be warm.

Long story short….. follow all regular laws of the City of Seattle and please maintain common sense. If you see anyone breaking the law and/or violating these very simple guidelines please address the issue immediately or ask for help. We want our walks to be fun for everyone including the tasty victims of Seattle!

Acting Zombie: School for the recently undead

1. Mastery of the blank gaze.
Relax all the muscles of your face and de-focus your eyes. Anyone who comes into eye contact with you should see no recognition or expression in your face. Make sure that your eyes "track" as little as possible. For a test, make your “Zombie Face” and have a friend surprise you with a loud noise. You pass if your eyes don’t dart to the noise and your body doesn’t flinch. Practice in the mirror making the “Zombie Face” and then try to do it with your friends without cracking up!

2. The Zombie Drive
A Zombie is essentially dead. In this state, you do not get itchy, adjust clothing, or speak coherently.

The driving force of a Zombie’s essence is hunger. The only active parts of Zombie mental faculties involve the need to feed. Zombies do everything they do to procure food, specifically human flesh. They are drawn toward the living to eat them. I hear brains are a particularly tasty delicacy.

3. Zombies in Public
While in public, avoid taking pictures while dressed as a Zombie. This would be a breech of character! Hand your camera off to a plain-clothed friend or “victim” to capture your most gory moments! Zombies don’t have/use cell phones. Zombies don’t talk or scream or shriek or howl – they moan or grunt.

During the event participants are encouraged to remain in character as zombies and to communicate only in a manner consistent with zombie behavior. This may include grunting, groaning and slurred, moaning calls for 'brains'. It should be noted that zombie behavior is a hot topic of debate.

4. Advanced Techniques
To heighten interest and realism, some zombie mobs will "eat" victims to create new zombies, in sight of onlookers. An effective way of doing this is to establish a route and plant a “victim” volunteer along the route ready to be “discovered” ny the mob shambling along. Surrounding the new victim to loudly feed, the Zombies conceal him or her from witnesses' view as they tear clothes and quickly apply greenish makeup and fake blood creating a new zombie who then shambles along with the ever-expanding pack to find new prey.

Zombie Costuming: Braaaaaiiiinstorming
- Show quoted text -

Depending on perspective, but largely accepted- zombieness occurs after death. So when you are thinking of your costume try thinking about what you might be wearing at the time of your death.

In western societies dead people are usually buried in their Sunday best. A trip to the Salvation Army or Value Village for an old suit jacket and trousers or a "churched-up" dress are classic. Perhaps you died in bed and re-animated in your pajamas. You would certainly be comfortable. Those are merely suggestions. There are more zombie permutations in the world than the ol' garden-variety Night of the Living Dead kind. Variations like, "spare change" Zombie, Santa zombie, Cher zombie, and Laura Bush zombie are endless and we encourage everyone to be creative with their costumes!

*tips for shredding*
scissor cuts are far too clean to look like it has been shredded, try using a cork screw and pull the clothing away from you as the cork screw’s tip shreads the clothing.

*tips for blood on clothes*
Fake blood can get sticky and after years of doing these walks we hate to get fake blood all over the interior of our cars. A really neat product to use is hot blood that can be found at A Masquerade in Bellevue WA. “Hot blood” is basically dark red glue sticks that you put through a hot glue gun and apply the bloody glue where you want the effects at.

Zombie Costume Supplies

2. Make-up
Another favorite costume shop is Display & Costume in Northgate. A trip there will be worth your while for makeup.

A. Get some whitening face paint or the stuff called "Zombie Flesh" by Mehron.

B. black grease paint to darken your eyes and cheeks for that hollow & hungry look and eyeliner to start with. Cheap, Rite Aid variety eyeshadows and eyeliners can also get you pretty banged up looking.

C. Oatmeal and liquid latex works wonders.

D. Food coloring and corn syrup makes convincing blood, but sticky. However, it is also tasty. You may want to try chocolate syrup or caramel sauce smeared strategically in your clothes....trust me......looks dead. Warning though, corn syrup also dissolves most prosthetics if you are using one.

E. Dont brush your hair! It looks great to tease out you hair if it is long. Sprinkle some leaves in it!

F. Don't forget to get yourself dirty! Tea and coffee stains on clothes age them well.

G. Get out there with yo bad self!

Non Zombie Ideas: Victims and Heroes, our favorite snacks

1. Photographers: Walk with us and take pictures, then post them on this Flickr.com group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/seattlezombiewalk

2. Victims: We love our Victims! You guys bring the atmospheres and help out the whole act. Wear a “Hello my name is” name tag that says “Eat Me”. Run, hide, scream and terrify other people who are not in the walk “HELP HELP ZOMBIES ARE EVERYWHERE THEY ATE MY NEIGHBOR! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!” Bring sidewalk chalk to draw chalk lines around fallen “victims” on the concrete to denote a murder scene. Run and trip a lot! Are you hardcore? If you are bring fake guts and blood to splatter on you as zombies attack you, even bring a quick makeup kit for later if you get killed and come join the zombies horde. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiYz_GxkqJg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkWIQtC5pzM

3. Heroes: What’s a zombie movie without heroes? Show up with a good costume and try to help victims. Non-conventional weapons are the best, modify a golf club or walk around with bloody garden tools. Heroes please practice common sense, be around other zombies or costumers when walking around so people don’t think you are a crazed sniper! If you bring a fake plastic gun please make sure that the weapon looks fake, bright orange is a good indicator that it isn’t real. Be prepared that CleoZombie will eat you as her first course.

4. Silly: Hug a Zombie and see if their flesh comes off on you! Walk with a cardboard box with a sign on it that says “Lost Zombie Parts”. Volunteer to collect “Victims”. Organize a “Zombie pin-up” photo shoot after the Walk. But most importantly be creative in anything you do! A brain on a stick is always a classic.

After years of crawling around the fringes of Seattle we now aim deep at the heart of the emerald city herself. We have been given permission to have a Zombie Walk at the Seattle Center on October 10th 2009 at 3pm. We also have a rock concert at the Funhouse hosted by Bucephalus Games and a Zombie Karaoke lined up, more to come! This will be our biggest zombie invasion of the season. Remember the success of zombie walks are you! The numbers come from spreading the word… Thank you Seattle!

Come and Join our facebook group!

Hey Seattle Zombies we did it, we broke the world record for the zombie walk! Officially can confirm 3,848 zombies signed the registrations, we were told we had close to well over 6,000 people. The next step is waiting for the approval of the Guinness World Records org. We had so much fun walking, playing and dancing with Seattle's creepiest and well dressed zombies.

Ryan and John of the Fremont outdoor Cinemas thank you for hosting this event, your hard work and efforts paid off. Zombies from many different corners of the pacific northwest came out for this event! Hats off to Anthony and the gang at night zero http://www.nightzero.com/ for their photo booth and excellent zombie makeup skills. The quality you bring to zombie events raises the bar everytime. Round of applause for Seattle Thrillers for leading the Thriller Dance and the amazing volunteer staff for making this a safe event. A huge "BRRAAAAAAAIIIIINNNNSSSS" chant to every single zombie who showed up to make this gathering epic!

Here are some news articles, videos and photos. Post more if you find them!

We are excited once again to bring the zombie horde to Fremont, already the online responses have been huge and we can't wait to see everyone. We will have a bunch of new "rotting" faces joining us, so as a reminder to those who haven't done this before here are the basics to know.

* As mentioned previously - zombies are only really effective when traveling together in large groups. Bring your friends, foes, family and other loved ones.

*Check other sections of this LJ for makeup tips etc....

*TRY TAKING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE EVENT!

Potentially useful things to keep in mind:
1. Participate at your own risk.
2. Do not pretend to “attack” people not part of Zombie Walk who do not obviously want to be involved.
3. Only swarm parked cars because, if we cause traffic problems, the Police will interfere.
4. There are no permits for this event. Be safe and look out for the safety of others!

Show your zombie pride! We are in for joining the Pride Parade. Please don’t come as a zombie hunter because it will likely be misunderstood in context of a parade for love and understanding. Bring no weapons and talk up the July 3rd walk.

This will be next Sunday June 28th from 11am to 4pm we will be joining the Goths, http://www.flickr.com/photos/nellarrobat/628351282/in/photostream/ marching right behind our dark brothers and sisters.

http://www.seattlepride.org/

Here are some photos from a previous parade, we hope this brings some inspiration for ideas.

http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=capitol+hill+pride+parade
We think it would be great to see zombies with peace signs that say funny things, zombie drag queens, Zombies passing out balloons, beads, etc. We have seen some amazing costumes and ideas from the zombie walk, lets find something that can fit the bill for the pride parade.

Lets spread the zombie love and get Seattle excited for our July 3rd zombie bash!!!
We need around 20 zombies to show up to help share the love, anyone who is interested please send an email to cleozombie@gmail.com first come first dead.. ok bad pun, my apologies. Even if you think its too late bounce us an email we can always use heroes and victims to weave through the crowds (just no weapons for this walk ;p )

Parasitic flies turn fire ants into zombies

http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/20090512/sc_mcclatchy/3231765 The flies "dive-bomb" the fire ants and lay eggs. The maggot that hatches inside the ant eats away at the brain, and the ant starts exhibiting what some might say is zombie-like behavior. "At some point, the ant gets up and starts wandering," said Rob Plowes, a research associate at UT.

Halloween-(Oct. 31st is on a Fri. Night this year!)

There’s lots of stuff happening……For Zombies!

1st stop: Trollaween

Starts: The Fremont Troll
N 36th St, Seattle, WA
Directions: Under the Aurora Ave. Bridge -- sometimes called the George Washington Bridge -- at N. 36th Street.

Ends: Under The Fremont Bridge
The bridge that connects Fremont and 4th Avenues N. 30 feet over Seattle's Fremont Cut between Fremont and Queen Anne.

Trollaween is a 18 year (?) tradition of Halloween vaudvillesque community theater. It starts at dusk under the Aurora Bridge at the Troll and the second act parades on down to finale at the Fremont Bridge (which is the drawbridge by the canal). At this second stage the closing act is a live band playing Thriller. The coordinator of Trollaween asked me to wrangle zombies to shamble out of the crowd to perform the Thriller dance as the finale. We need dancers...Preferably people who know the dance somewhere in the hour between 8:30 and 9:30. Zombies and scary costumes welcome!

*Please contact me with your contact info if you want to be involved. I’ve got some extra tickets to Jet City Improv’s Zombie Apocalypse show (listed below) that night and Boo (listed below) for RSVP participants.

Boo
