Spooky Empire's Ultimate Horror Weekend 2009 - Zombie Walk
October 10, 2009
The Spooky Empire Ultimate Horror Convention has come to Orlando this weekend, bringing a mass of celebrities, uncomfortable beards, and smiles to town, thrilling horror fanatics who wait all year for this event. To kick off the festivities, there’s a Zombie Walk, encouraging undead fans to dress up as decrepitly as possible and march (or drag) a harrowing 1/2 mile to the front door of the host hotel. It’s a community of fun-loving, grotesque participants, and there’s a clear love for the macabre tradition.
This video was taken at the starting line, right after the master of ceremonies drove a chainsaw through a blood-filled skeleton to christen the Walk.
This video is from the other side of the street, near the end of the Walk.
Here, a troupe from a “Rocky Horror” tribute show decided to recreate Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” in the parking lot. Bad angle, I know, but you try to squeeze into a pack of bloody strangers, most a good five minutes away from succumbing to heatstroke.
