Asheville ZombieWalk Seeks Braaiiinnns
Downtown Asheville, N.C., typically quiets down a bit on Sundays, with many shops closed and the streets emptier, but not on this past Sunday, October 26th. Just as dusk was falling, hundreds of folks gathered at Asheville’s Montford Ballfield to take part in a new annual Asheville tradition: the ZombieWalk. Appropriately, death metal bands rocked the park while both young and old enthusiastically dressed up for the act, eventually becoming a shambling army of the undead roaming the downtown streets moaning for “braaaiiiinnnnsss”.
Zombie-tongue-in-cheek humor and creativity was as much in evidence as the mandatory blood and gore, witnessed in the three-legged “zombie dog”, various “zombie babies” and political-minded “zombie voters”. Most participants, however, weren’t out to make a clever statement. They just wanted to have some good old fashioned Halloween-time family fun, playing startlingly realistic reanimated corpses. The 3rd Annual Asheville ZombieWalk, an official part of World Zombie Day, was lifelessly pronounced another success by its founder, Dan Burrello.
