Tweet of the Week: The Dawn of the Zombie Apocalypse

We love Tuesdays. Why, you ask? Because the day brings many travel tips and quips as "Travel Tuesday" on Twitter, and we're going to share our favorite with you. Got an avid travel twitterer we should follow? Let us know.

Say the words "zombies" and we're all ears. What're we talking about—hunting them, eating them, joining them, singing them to sleep? We want in on it. Thus, when writer and traveler Kimberly Kaye @Kimberly_Kaye tweeted about zombies very early in the morning today, it solidified a 12-hour (and continuing) obsession with them.

Spookiest Small Towns: Zombies on the March in Alabama

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.

ZombieCon: Now with Microblogging

For the past three years, New York's best pre-Halloween festivity has been ZombieCon, a collection of several hundred bloody, undead folks who parade through the city on a random Saturday in humorous search of braaaaaiiins.

All are welcome to join, although unexpectedly running into the zombie hordes on the subway or in a bar bathroom is probably the most hilarious part of ZombieCon.

But in case you're worried they won't cross your path, this year's event is complete with text message updates--you can sign up for continuous alerts throughout the day, keeping you in the loop about where the party is headed.

After the jump, video from last year's ZombieCon.
