Zombies Walk In New York (Video)

A flash mob convergence of hundreds of zombie-dressed participants trudging through the streets of New York City.

 

According to wikipedia.org, a Zombie Walk is: “A zombie walk (also known as a zombie mob, zombie march or zombie lurch) is an organized public gathering of two or more 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. Promoted primarily through word of mouth and online message boards, zombie walks are an underground activity. 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. Purists who draw their definitions from the original Living Dead films will claim that a zombie would never have the ability to call for ‘brains’ and furthermore that a zombie needs only living (or freshly killed) flesh for its sustenance and not the brain in particular.”
