What is a Zombie Shamble?
A zombie shamble is an organized public gathering of two or more people who dress up in zombie costumes and make up. Usually taking place in an urban center, the participants make their way around the city streets in a somewhat orderly fashion and often limping and gnawing their way towards a local cemetery (or pub).
During the event participants are encouraged to remain in character as zombies and to communicate only in a manner consistent with zombies (such as grunts, groans and slurred moans calling for “brains”.)

Had some people inquire as to the ages for this event. All ages are welcome with adult supervision. As long as you know this is taking place in a bar and there will be alot of scary zombies around. Most pubs here have an after nine p.m. adults only rule. but all the zombie walk stuff should be done way before that.
1. Use the "haunted house" rule in that you are not to touch anyone.
2. Do not attempt to scare anyone who is not a willing participant. If anyone is freaking out, turn and shamble in the opposite direction. Avoid confrontations!
3. Stay on the sidewalk unless crossing the street. When crossing, it's OK to "break character" and cross quickly. Think fast "New Dawn of the Dead" zombies verses the slower "Old Dawn of the Dead" zombies when crossing the street. Blocking traffic is a crime and anyone doing so could be arrested.
4. No drugs. None. Forget it.
5. No alcohol outside the bars.
6. No littering, destruction of property, or any other illegal activity. Pretend the sidewalk is your own neighborhood and show the utmost respect. Let's put on a good show.
Keep in mind you might be asked for a picture ID at the bars and your zombie face might not match your picture ID.
Please do not attempt to push your way into any business if you are not welcome.
