    Registration is so we know how many Zombies & Victims attended and to give us an accurate head count… no pun intended.

    You MUST Register to be eligible for prizes and giveaways.

    Once signed in there will be a mass gathering in front of the headquarters and the overflow will be just up the street at Elmwood & Bidwell to start the event. NOTE: The Farmers Market will be taking place across from Just Pizza. DO NOT Interfere with their their business what so ever. We have to co-exist with them, please do not go wandering over there, stay on the East side of Bidwell Parkway, the same side as Maddtat2 & The Guerilla Gallery.

    The START of the event will be filmed. We will have all the Zombies enter the rear of The Guerilla Gallery and then exit out the front door one by one so we get everybody on video. So ham it up!

    Zombie Walk

    Open to the public, all ages.
    Starts at 1:00 to 1:30 pm and continues to 4:00 pm.
    You can walk up and down the event route as many times as you wish or as little as you want, please use proper crossing rules.
    The route turnaround is at Allen St in the Bar district. Cross Allen to Town Restaurant and cross Elmwood to Jim’s Steak Out and continue down Allen and turn around at Wadsworth and continue back down Allen again and turn Left on to Elmwood back towards the start.

    REMINDER: It is a 2 mile walk each way and a bout a 40 minute walk for a human, but Zombies are slow as you know so figure about an hour crawl each way. We are working on water stations but bring a bottle as back up and we will know for sure by showtime.

    Please walk on the sidewalks facing traffic for optimum exposure and obey all traffic rules.
    Don’t block crossing, it recommended to break character when crossing.

    When you are done with your walk which is at the Headquarters stick around dor CONTESTS and greet other Zombies and for photo shoots.
    You are welcome to hang around for the Zombie Pub Crawl. Maddtat2 & The Guerilla Gallery will be providing entertainment, or go visit Tim at Zonies or have a Subway Zombie Sub! Eat Flesh!

    Beautifully Bloody will be set up for your more elaborate Zombie needs but appointments are needed. Email [email protected] to make arrangements. Prices vary.

    Bloody Disgusting Clothes On Sale

    We will be selling pre-made Zombie Clothing at the event. Shirts, pants, shorts and more. If you want us to make some for your specific size just send us a message and we will do what we can. We would have to go buy your size so the cost will be a little more. but what we will be selling will be cheap: All prices are $5.00 for shirts or sweaters or pants or shorts.

    Rules and Code of Conduct

    We will be staffed with Route Spotters looking for rule breakers.
    And Our Security Staff will take over if necessary. Please, don’t put future events in jeopardy. .
    COSTUMES are Encouraged but not Required. Both Zombies & Victims are welcome.
    Pets are allowed but not encouraged for the walk, but not allowed for the Pub Crawl.
    If you do bring a pet you do so at your own risk, and please try to dress them for the occasion.
    Children may attend the Zombie Walk and there are contests just for the kids, but some may be too scared once they get there, we don’t want to be responsible for traumatizing them for life… do we? Parental Discretion is Advised, you know your kids better than we do.
    Making homemade blood is cool, but is sticky and tends to attract bugs, you are better off buying tubes or pints online, average tube cost is $2 and pints normally run $8, Rotten Jacks Creep Shack can be a good spot to pick up supplies and props, and Party City normally has blood out all year.

    PROPS: No Illegal items, NO Guns fake or real, NO real knives, chains, sledgehammers, picks, shovels and such are okay but don’t get stupid with them and swing them about.

    NO ALCOHOL while walking for either event, the Police have been notified of the event and will be on patrol to ensure public safety. Unless you want a hefty fine to pay, no outdoor drinking. Drunk Zombies will be asked to end their fun if tagged by one of our many spotters or if we get complaints by other Zombies and or establishment owners. Needless to say but NO Drug use allowed.

    DO NOT make a mess, no littering, if you see something please pick it up and dispose of properly, no squirting or puking fluids on bystanders, sidewalks or in establishments. Blood & Guts left on the sidewalk in front of a store doesn’t attract customers. Bystanders! Sure they will be curious but keep you limb(s) or others to yourselves, give them your best groan and evil eye(s) and leave it at that.

    HARRASSING onlookers or passerby’s is not allowed, do not hold up the flow of traffic or stick your decaying torso inside vehicles, you might regret it if you take one in the face from somebody freaking out or protecting their property. Things like arguing, fighting, abusive behavior, breaking property will all put future Zombie events in jeopardy as well as yourself. We will have several photographers & video crews filming the event.

    CROSS at provided crosswalks, NO “J”walking allowed, moving vehicles can kill Zombies, look both ways before crawling into intersections and obey the signs. When crossing, it’s OK to “break character” and cross quickly. Blocking traffic is a crime and anyone doing so could be arrested. No walking in the street is allowed period, this will get you tossed from the event

    STAY IN character as much as possible, and have fun with it. Remember you have lost the ability to speak. You have been unearthed and Rigor Mortis has set in so walking is difficult for you. Drag that bad leg, reach with stiff arms, and moan and groan, remember your there for the brainnnnnnsssss.
    Don’t think like a zombie. BE A ZOMBIE! Seize the moment because we have a few movie makers scouting the event for help in upcoming movies being filmed in the area this summer. So ham it up! Please remember to stay in character as much as you UN-humanly can!

    Disclaimer

    PARTICIPATE AT YOUR OWN RISK
    I read this on another zombie crawl’s website and it makes sense…
    Besides setting a place and a date for this public event, and inviting you to dress up like zombies and wander around in public…we have no responsibility for who shows up, how they act, or the other 1,000,000 things that could go wrong each-and-every-time you go out in public. Like any other stroll down a sidewalk, things can happen. This is a completely open and voluntary event, and we cannot be held responsible if you get hurt, arrested, or otherwise inconvenienced. Whatever care you take when you normally go out in public, you should also take the day of the Zombie Walk. Avoid confrontations! Your Dead, what are they gonna prove! Come for the History, Stay for the BRAINS !!!

    Again we will be staffed with spotters & security and the Buffalo Police will be making extra patrols.

    Although some of you may not be great at make-up, worry not, the dead have no specific look. Refer to the internet and search Zombie make-up, costumes, search Youtube for Zombie Walks & Crawls, see what others are doing and create you own concept from that…or use our paid services.

    Photos and Video

    Please bring your cameras and video devices to the headquarters until 7:00 pm at the Headquarters so you can share your view of the event, we will be set up to transfer any type card or cable. We will be screening everybody’s photos and videos during the after party at the Cozumel and will be able to transfer starting at 9:30 pm.

    Remember, this is all for fun, and we want to do more as the word gets out, WE WILL HAVE one in late September to help kick things off for Terror Technologies Extreme Haunted House.

    Volunteers Wanted

    SECURITY:
    If you’d like to be a part of our security staff, please contact us.
    NO PHYSICAL CONTACT with zombies, Remind them of the rules, if they are still disorderly then the police will be called.
    ROUTE SPOTTERS:
    We need spotters standing every few blocks to watch out for trouble makers and call security if needed.
