They kill for food, and they're coming for us: Zombie parades are the new pirate parties, and the ghouls lurch among the good folk of Gadsden, Alabama on Saturday, October 18.

The Gadsden Public Library takes on larger and better-made-up parades in San Francisco and Helsinki with the 4th Annual Zombie Parade, to be followed by a marathon of zombie movies from the family-friendly ("Fido") to the cutting-edge consumerist critique ("Dawn of the Dead"). Don't go into that mall!

Get your head together before Halloween by devising the perfect costume and amassing at 3:30 pm in the parking lot of the Pitman Theatre, which will spend all the proceeds from the zombieathon on restoration. Ah, small towns: Even their brain-eating is for a good cause.

I'm flabbergasted plum flabbergasted....

Dude, really - this is so awesome (albeit, I didn't even find out this post existed until well after the fact - that is absolutely inconsequential). A friend of mine sent me this link today and it was so exciting - I don't know if you were just doing some googling or what, but the fact that something that began 4 years ago just because my best friend 'wanted a zombie parade' for her birthday and thus 4 adults, 1 child, and one poops (dog) marching along downtown Gadsden turned into roughly over 100 (hey, for Gadsden that's big potatoes lady) people 4 years later is unbelievable to me. Thanks for the shout-out down to the dirty south and our shenanighans, -tami sparks
