"Zombie" Treat!

This past weekend, the streets of Toronto were like a scene from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video! The 9th Annual “Zombie Walk” was in full force, and it was my first time seeing anything like this in my life. This is an event where people (dressed in full zombie costume and make-up) literally walked like zombies through the streets of Toronto. I couldn’t believe it! This annual event has around 6,000 zombie participants and it’s quite a sight to see! I even got to see families all dressed as the dead, fully enjoying themselves with the face painting, prizes and all the festivities this event had to offer. There was even a real zombie wedding!

When the sun started to set over the city the “dead” still had plenty of activities to participate in. The entertainment was hosted by, The Toronto After Dark Film Festival. The Toronto Underground Cinema, held a zombie double bill with films “Deadhead” and “War of the Dead”. Post film festivities had DJ Eric Von Eric spin at the frightful after party. If you are ever visiting Toronto in October- this is an event that will be quite the “Scary” Treat!
