General brain eater rules!
1) no attacking bystanders
-even though you and i may love this kind of thing there may be others who do not, respect their space and they will respect our celebration.
-the easiest way to get arrested is to touch someone who is not a signed up participant of the zombiewalk; keep your hands to yourselves
and no handcuffs will be on them
2) no walking out into the s
treet or traffic
-again a great way to get hurt or arrested, not to mention possibly causing an accident
-zombies use crosswalks and obey the walk/don't walk signs
3) any weaponry should be easily discernible as fake -keep bright obnoxious orange caps on the end of toys guns
-no replica weapons, the word replica implies "like the real thing"
4) as fun as it would be, no part of your costume should sq**rt or project any liquid or objects
5) no profanities
-we will most likely walk by many innocent children during the walk, no need to warp their minds any further than seeing the walking dead
already will
-keep it in character, i've never heard a zombie drop the F bomb
6) ham it up!
-you're wearing fake blood and ripped up clothes and walking around moaning in public, doing that louder will not be any more embarrassing
7) walk like a zombie
-this is not a speed-walking event, zombies lurch, crawl, limp, slither, etc.
-think more Romero zombie, not "run" zombie
8 ) stay in character
-i know everyone is excited about this, as am i, but zombies do not truly have the motor or cognitive abilities to operate a camera or cell phone. we have plenty of people who will be documenting the event, so please try to refrain from taking pictures during the actual walk. also, zombies don't have conversations or text their friends, they're dead, they're all messed up.
9) stay on public property
-do not go into stores or other private properties. stick to the sidewalk.
10) have fun
-come up with a theme and stay in character as much as possible. it's a celebration of a great time of year, moan like you mean it!
