So this Saturday was the 2nd Annual Zombie Pub crawl in our little town. It's not like the Santa pub crawl, where hundreds of people come out clad in whatever small amount of tinsel and naughty elf costumes they can find. The Zombie pub crawl is smaller, a lot smaller, and the one rule is you've got to be 100% a zombie. I did it last year and turned up in a black lace dress with a white pale face and some black and red lips - boy was I wrong. These guys spend hundreds of dollars getting exactly the costume that they want, bottles of stage quality fake blood and proper liquid latex to either apply straight on the body and then paint and fake blood and crayon over, or you be really clever and make things first, like Jess' this year with her shin bone snapped in half and sticking out the front.
WARNING: If you have a funny tummy, proceed to these pictures with caution.
First and second pub, super hard to get everyone in the one shot as we met people along the way, and there was a fair few of us. Note - Zombie bride, zombie housewife, zombie nurse, and lots of blood.
On the move. While we walked we all sort of spread out which was great, because if you were driving past you'd be like 'How many ARE there?!'. A few did enjoy running and jumping around at cars and in the general area of people lol.
Also, Cameron and Lewis - Cameron was in a white bio hazard suit and broken gas mask with a popped eye socket and stomach coming out, and Lewis was some guy in a suit and hat with blood and icky stuff everywhere lol.
Neil always looks the part a little *too* well. He was the scary clown I posted pictures of back from Halloween too. You can see the amount of work and effort in the makeup and latex and stuff. Neil was the best zombie runner as well. He knew how to do the one arm up and bent and sideways run lol. I put it down to video games.
Fourth Pub on the river. Me [Keith Richards - i figured he was the living dead], Jess [Housewife with bruised face, blooded rolling pin, broken shin and exploded boob, all in a satin nightie lol] and Georgina [Pirate lass with much fake blood].
The lovely Miss Jess again, and scary nurse chick and I. I have a shot that shows how insanely scary her eyes were, but didn't want to freak you out that much lol.
Awesome shot of Georgina - thank you mobile camera phone for all of these shots too btw. I haven't edited these either, my phone has a decent menu to change iso and heaps of other shiz mid shooting and it comes up with some awesome effects.
End of the night, a lot un zombiefied, I still was [and still am getting fake blood off my arms] but it had rubbed off my face a bit, hence the sullen eyes haha. We decided it would be a good idea to play with helium balloons. It was 80's night at the pub too, so a few of the zombie crew bought parachute jackets and high tops, I figured Keith Richards spanned a few generations lol. Oh, I also played in the ball pit, but those photos are too incriminating haha.
Hope I didn't gross you out too bad, but everyone's costumes were so awesome, and there was heaps more I didn't post, Like the most hectic zombie Grandma you've ever seen, so awesome hahaha.
Stay scary.
Stranger.
