Last year we rocked Seattle Center bringing thousands of zombie fans under one roof. We had more celebrities than you could wave a boom stick at, a zombie walk honoring George Romero and a zombie and Bruce Campbell leading a zombie wedding done to an evil dead theme. This year we are bringing plenty of zombie celebrities to Seattle and have even more elbow room now that the ZomBcon is at the SeaTac’s Hilton convention hall.

Our good friends behind Bunnyarchy and the ninja/pirate pub crawl have asked if the Seattle Zombies can invade their Halloween pub crawl. This will be a massive costumed pub crawl starting near Pioneer square and ending in capitol hill just before 8pm, which makes for the perfect warm up before the hottest Halloween night in Seattle. Any zombie is welcome to come and go as they please!

Event: Click here for the Pub Crawl and Click here for the Zombie Ambush
When: 10/29/11 starting at 3pm and ending at 8pm, zombies will invade at 4pm
Where: To Be Announced!!!
Zombie AMBUSH: Anyone who wants to be a part of the ambush we will be meeting at HERE and attack when we see the Halloween pub crawl come by
What: Join us for a massive costumed pub crawl during the afternoon. There will be NO COVER CHARGES! Expect happy hour prices, free food, DJs, dance floors, entertainment as we parade around outside, haunted bars and holiday drinks!
Why: This will be the biggest Halloween pub crawl this season, come and join the fun! There are too many things happening in Seattle later that night so this is your perfect prefunk party to get your rotting bones warmed up for a great night!

We have had many zombie walks here in Seattle but we have never done a zombie run! We have been asked to invade the third annual ‘Run Scared 5k’ event, there will be joggers wearing all kinds of fun costumes and they want to be chased by zombies! This is our family friendly zombie event, bring your little rotten ones for the fun! In addition to having zombies chasing joggers we will have a zombie picnic, with zombies playing games and chewing on finger sandwiches. The course will be a large loop around Seward Park, plenty of places to ambush joggers and create funny zombie scenarios. All proceeds benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, last year’s run raised over $17,000 so please join us and support a good cause.

Event: Click here!
When: 10/30/11 at 9:00 AM, for zombie runners registration opens at 7:30 AM
Where: Seward Park click here for the Course Map
Cost: Free for zombie picnic, $25 for Zombie Joggers USE DISCOUNT CODE ZombieCrew11 for $5 off
What: Zombies chasing costumed joggers, zombies can only pretend to attack and they are not allowed to touch or tackle the joggers. The point of this event is to create the horror of zombies chasing you, not to hurt anyone. Small groups of zombies will be sent ahead of time to try to ambush the joggers as well. We invite hunters and victims to take part in this fun activity.
IN ADDITION WE HAVE ZOMBIE ATMOSPHERE: Another goal we have is to set up zombie picnickers so that the joggers have a laugh when they run past us. IMAGINE running past a game of zombie croquet and a family of zombies eating jello brains. BRING YOUR CRAZY IDEAS.. ALL ARE WELCOMED!
Why: Because this jog is for a good cause and this is the perfect setup to chase survivors!

Walking through a corn maze at night is pretty scaring and the setting alone can make you jump. Well now you have to worry about zombies!!!! The sick and sadistic minds of Seattle Zombie Walk and Stalker Farms are teaming up to give fans a night they will never forget.. We seriously mean it you might need therapy after this!

Event: Click here!
When: HALLOWEEN 10/31/11 starting at 7pm and repeating every hour till 10pm
Where: Stalker Farms field of Screams 8705 Marsh Rd. Snohomish, WA
Cost: $10 zombies will be given a discount code soon
What: Every hour starting at 7pm we will send survivors and guests into the corn maze, giving them a head start of a few minutes. Then we send in the waves of zombies after them! The big difference is that only zombies are allowed to go through the walls of corn, creeeeeepy….
Why: Because this is Halloween! what better way to spend it than to terrify friends and complete strangers.
Rules: Survivors who complete the maze without being ‘tagged’ by a zombie wins, survivors are not allowed to go through the corn walls. Zombies MUST SHAMBLE SLOWLY! No running zombies at all. Zombies attempt to tag a victim and they are considered infected by the zombie plague, the infected survivor should attempt to finish the maze but knows that they were ‘bitten.’ If another zombie starts to chase you then raise your hands in the air and say I have been bitten!

Farm Rules: This are Stockers terms for us playing in their corn field, if we find any violators then you will be asked to leave. Problem zombies or survivors will be banned from future events and kicked out by Zombie Eric’s size 15 boot.
1) All participants need to pay to enter the farm and identify themselves as a member of this event. A special wristband will be provided after you pay that will show you are a part of the zombie event.
2) Safety is a strong priority. Zombies cannot run, survivors are expected to keep their speed reasonable but never running. No real/fake weapons and nerf guns are allowed, we will ask you to return these items to your vehicle. Remember this is just a game, do not strike anyone no matter how scared or excited you get.
3) There will be two mazes and we are only allowed to play in the designated one. Outside of this maze zombies are not allowed to pursue guests of the other maze or haunted house.
4) NO MASKS, zombies are allowed to wear make up. There are other professional performers there working at the field of screams, lets not steal their thunder

That was an amazing walk everyone! We took the Seattle Light Rail!
One of my favorites without a doubt! I still can’t believe we made the World News!

It was a scene of beauty… I meant horror.. Watching victims being chased by zombies rushing out of all 8 doors on the zombie train! The reactions from commuters were priceless, including a child who kept asking the zombies to chase him. This makes me very happy to see the community embracing this crazy group.

I hope this has you excited for the biggest zombie walk of the year, our Red White and Dead event which is in 4 weeks! Twice we have broken the world record with this annual event, last year we had over 4500 zombies!!!

The world record for largest zombie walk does keep changing from city to city. BUT THAT IS THE FUN IN IT!

Third time is a charm! So let us beat New Jersey! the target number is over 4,093 zombies… WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?.. ERIC WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Last year we had over 4500 zombies how come the target number is 4,093?? Well concerned zombie, there is a small percentage of zombies out there who don’t put down all of the information on the registration sheet. Invalid entries don’t count..

Eric Pope, the Patriotic Zombie

Heeeey Seattle Zombies!!!

We have a wicked zombie walk planned. For the first time in Seattle, the Zombie Horde descends upon the Seattle Light Rail during rush hour!! Imagine the shocked faces of commuters, their day dreams of weekend plans transformed into nightmares as the zombie filled train stops at their station. Out of the sliding doors they will witness the rotting dead shuffling towards them, eyeing them ravenously.

We will have several camera crews following us around to capture our demented plans which include:

Zombies feasting upon a victim’s entrails as people board the train

A victim runs screaming for help out of an arriving train as several zombies give chase

Zombies moaning on cellphones, reading then chewing newspapers, just standing around acting like nothing is wrong

Zombies littering the platfrom as commuters step off the train

*your own demented ideas!!*

Bring props, fake body parts and things typically seen on a light rail trip.

When: Friday May 27th Gather at 6:30pm and walk at 7:00pm
Gathering Point: West Lake Park, Pine St and 4th Avenue
Start: West Lake Station
End: Seatac Station
Cost: $2.50 for the light rail ticket
What: The Seattle Zombies are invading the light rail
Why: To cause shocks, laughs and zombie shenanigans on a fast moving train.
*we recommend zombies take a bus to the west lake park, because parking is difficult downtown*
Lightrail website Click Here

EXTRA!!!
For the living dead who still have energy at the end of the walk, we have been invited to invade Crypticon, the Northwest’s premier horror convention. The attendance is free on Friday for anyone who is wearing zombie makeup. We have a few evil plans which include attacking a zombie movie screening during an intense moment of the movie and a zombie swarm around the nearby Denny’s – last year’s attack was amazing! Two great convention parties, Biohazard and International Bank of Timbuktu, are planning a special zombie theme in our honor. The parties are for the zombies who are old enough to drink, sorry zombie kids the end of the walk is 21+.

Crypticon website: http://www.crypticonseattle.com
Location: Hilton Seattle Airport, 17620 International Boulevard, Seattle
*that’s right across the street from the Seatac Lightrail Station*

Rules:
THIS IS A WEAPONLESS WALK!!! We will turn away any zombies, victims or heroes who show up with anything that looks like a weapon. This is common sense as we are dealing with mass transit, sound transit security know we are coming and look forward to seeing us bring the fun.

DO NOT TOUCH OR ATTACK ANYONE who is not a part of our walk, we will provide victims for you to chase and pretend to attack. Commuters are stuck on the light rail, they can’t walk past us if they are not into it. If they are smiling, laughing and taking pictures you can interact with them. If they look bothered or annoyed then ignore them, not worth the attention of this zombie horde.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UPDATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!!! It is amazing how big this event has become in less than a months notice. This just proves that With Seattle is the zombie capitol of the world! Because this event became so popular the Seattle zombie walk organizers urge all our zombies to buy round trip tickets ahead of time so there is very little waiting involved. The light rail trains leave every 10 minutes. The plan is to send 50 to 70 zombies with every train. We recommend zombies focus their numbers to the front of the train so zombie haters retreat to the back of the train. We also recommend zombies board the train at other sound transit stations along the way as well, further creating the atmosphere of a zombie apocalypse!!!
***Sound transit disclaimer***
Zombies should plan to pre-purchase round trip tickets, stay behind the yellow line until the train comes, and no screaming on the train. We are paying customers using a public transportation so we have every right to be there but if they sense real trouble it can ruin your fun and everyone else’s.
Here is a map and time table of the event

Rules and helpful thoughts…
• YOU CAN JOIN AT ANY STATION!! Take advantage of boarding at the station most convenient to you. It will help the walk out if you do so, this way we are not overwhelming the west lake station at the start of the walk. Hop on board when you see zombies on trains heading southbound! Here is a list of all the stations: http://www.soundtransit.org/Schedules/Central-Link-light-rail.xml
• No masks, no weapons, no masks, no weapons, NO MASKS, NO WEAPONS!!!
• Buy round trip tickets several hours ahead of time, this will last all day as a single trip ticket will expire within 50 minutes. With only 6 machines at the west lake station, late zombies will spend more time waiting to buy a ticket than the actual trip on the train. BUY YOUR ROUND TRIP EARLY!
• DO NOT CROSS THE YELLOW LINE until the train has arrived, we don’t want anyone to get hurt
• DO NOT SCREAM while on the train, its ok to moan, call for brains.. but if security feels that someone is in real trouble they will halt the train to investigate.
• Crypticon asks that you and all friends who plan on coming to click attending on our light rail event page so they can approve your entry.
Help!!!
• WE NEED VICTIMS!! Think of an interesting outfit to wear if caught in the middle of a zombie feeding frenzy. We will provide you a name tag that says victim so the zombies will know they can mess with you. The zombies have nothing to do without their favorite food, please come and help build the atmosphere.
• WE NEED ZOMBIE CLEANERS!! Zombies are messy, no hiding that! We normally do a good job cleaning up behind us, but this time the walk is a moving train and will need special care. A few zombie cleaners with paper towels and a bottle of windex would be much appreciated with every train heading out. You will be rewarded zombie karma points if you do and even more if wearing a French maid costume.
