Zombie Walk

Sioux Falls Zombie Walk – Z minus 2 Days!

Play Dead for Charity

There is a great Zombie Walk write up in the Argus Leader today.

There are two corrections I’d like to submit here:
1. The Zombie Walk starts at 6PM, not 5PM as stated in the article. You can get your makeup done by our crew of experts, Get Dead Inc., from 3PM – 5:30PM.

2. There is a 4th band that was omitted. The Blues Bashers are closing out the night.

Post of the Dead (ZW minus 24)

For me, zombies bring to mind the flesh eating monsters of modern horror, but the walking dead have terrified the living in superstition for centuries. Accounts of the living dead are most notable in Haitian Voodoo. This variety of zombie is the subject of the 1932 film White Zombie starring Bela Lugosi. Lugosi’s character, Murder Legendre (which might be the coolest name ever), uses voodoo to lure a woman away from her fiance, but his plan backfires and she ends up a mindless automaton. The entire thing is steeped in over acting, but I feel it makes this movie even more entertaining. Watch it with friends and drink every time Murder looks shifty eyed.

It should also be noted that Lugosi reportedly expressed regret for taking this part  for only $800, since it did quite well in theaters.

Undeadly yours,

Zed
