What began in May 2009 and was limited to a single city block has now grown into a full scale epidemic. Of course I'm talking about the now annual Long Beach Zombie Walk! which is coming up this Saturday October 27th. It's insane how much this thing has grown. We were there for the rather sparsely attended inaugural one that wasn't even held in October! But from the moment a few people decided to jaywalk from one side of 4th to the other and a trail of dead followed suit, you knew it was destined to get bigger. And boy has it! This year the "walk" is an all day event occupying a 9.5 acre park to celebrate music, art, film and...BRAINS!
Need some zombie inspiration? Event organizer, Long Beach Cinematheque founder and all around good guy Logan Crow has given us an exclusive list of his favorite zombie films that you can watch for inspiration!
