This event should officially be dedicated to Michael Jackson, and to those who have a desire to do the dance of the undead and allow Micheal to live on! RIP Michael!
Awesome idea. Can't wait to go...
Does the walk start at 8pm or the Thriller dance? This blog lists two different times for the zombie walk (8pm and 9pm), the fremont outdoor movie site at http://www.fremontoutdoormovies.com/ says another, and the "official" site at http://july-3rd.com/ says least of all. Can someone please straighten out the schedule, if you really expect to organize 5,000 people that will help.
Also, how many people fit in the movie viewing area? I am guessing that all 5,000 people won't get to see the movie... then you are going to have some ANGRY ZOMBIES on your hands!
Also, the link to "official website" of fremont outdoor movies does not work, it redirects to a nonexistant blogger.com page instead of fremontoutdoormovies.com

No!! The thriller dance is one thing, but don't turn our zombieness into an homage for M.J. Please!!!!!!!

We do hope that everyone can attend everything but honestly the spirit of zombie walk is to have fun with your zombie brothers and sisters!

I had a few comments about this year's Zombie Walk.... not sure where to post them?
It was pretty thrilling to see soooo many people dressed up as zombies all converging in one place at one time!! There was one instant where I actually felt creeped out being surrounded by so many zombies!! How cool is that! :)
However, we didn't really walk! I was there from 6-10 and there wasn't really a walk. I hope next year the event takes place where we can actually walk as a group- I really wanted to get footage of zombies staggering thru the streets, approaching non-zombies or cars, etc. and nothing like that happened this year that I could see. :(
Also, if so much time will be spent in line, perhaps the musicians could be playing during the day, while people are in line, so we can be entertained!
And then after the registration, we could walk before things like dances, fashion shows and movies are shown. By 10 pm it was pretty dark so walking at that point would not have been as camera friendly anyway.
Also, the volunteers should perhaps be trained a bit better- each one we approached had a different answer re: whether we could walk w/ the zombies and photograph them w/o registering. We initially assumed we could walk without registering since we initially were not dressed up. However, before we could enter the "compound" we were stopped and asked if we knew what was happening and then firmly told we had to get in line to register even if we just wanted to take pictures. After seeing how long the line was, we asked another person who told us to just take pictures in line. After waiting in line for awhile, we asked another person who said we didn't have to register. By then we were near someone w/ a clipboard so we signed it only to be told that we shouldn't sign it until we were dressed as zombies. So we got a different answer each time basically.
In the end, we signed it AND dressed as zombies, so it all worked out. But meanwhile, we missed out on some photographs and as I said we didn't see any zombies actually "walking" other than to get in and out of line.
I don't want it to sound as if I'm just bitching- we had a blast and it was such a cool event! I am tickled pink that such an event exists and proudly donated $$ to the donation bin on site for it to help support it again next year!
And I wanted to say a huge thank you to the folks at Night Zero for working their butts off, as well as to all the other organizers and volunteers for this event!
I just am hoping a few things can be tweaked for next year's event.....
Rita
