Halloween is fast approaching, and soon zombies will be roaming the nighttime streets searching for brains. If you want to gather your zombie horde together for some late-night stalking, here are a few great places to do it.
Roaming Outdoors
The middle of fields can be awesome for your post-apocalypse background, making you feel like the only ones left in the destroyed world. Lack of lights in the fields will add to the feeling of being alone. Be careful to grab permission from whoever owns the property though; cops are not a zombie’s friend!
Canyon camping spots or unused cabins out in the woods are great places for bonfires (careful not to burn any zombies though!) and roasting brains on a stick (otherwise known as marshmallows).
Foggy beaches are also a great location for creepy sounds, shadows, and fires. A few bloody limbs propped on driftwood can turn any beach into a zombie lair.
Every town has a cemetery, and what spookier place to have a zombie party than a cemetery? A couple of fog machines and a few bloody hands reaching up out of the ground and you are set!
Shuffling Indoors
Buildings that are normally full of hustle and bustle, like schools, theaters, abandoned houses, old hospitals and nursing homes, can serve as a creepy backdrop as well. As long as you do not get too crazy, you can usually rent out the space for the night. You can even have your party in operating hospitals and nursing homes. You could include the patients in your brain seeking, and do a reverse trick-or-treat for them.
Another good eerie spot is inside storage units or warehouses. You can cater the storage unit size to the size of your zombie horde—just be careful not to lock anyone inside! Warehouses usually have lots of dark places where scary things could hide. Hop on the web and do a quick search for “warehouses and self-storage in Winnipegâ€, or whatever town you are in, and see what awesome places pop up.
Enclosed Lumbering
One of the most fun things you can do for a zombie party is to rope off a few city blocks and go crazy. It will take a bit more planning and coordinating with the city officials, but can be the most fun, especially for large groups with zombies and humans mixed together playing a friendly game of infectious tag.
With a bit of creativity and a touch of planning, this year’s zombie haunt will blow everyone’s minds, and be remembered long after the actual apocalypse!
