Did you know Sacramento's very own Trash Film Orgy (TFO) is credited with being home to the first organized Zombie Walk? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_walk#History
The summer season is trigger for these midnight movie Trash Film Orgy fans, who descend like a mass migratory bugs filling the hallways and seats of the Crest theatre. Though their year round numbers never fully deplete, once their season starts you see them multiply exponentially for 6 consecutive Saturdays at midnight.
The Zombie Walk is the yearly kickoff event for their TFO summer show season which has been growing ever since! Literally hundreds of "people" (if you can still call them that) converge on the midtown piercing shop Sub-Q at 1715 I street. Though the walk officially starts at 10pm people mostly gather from 9pm on. There will be some limited make up available for the un-undead on sight, but seriously people- who doesn't need their own zombie make up kit? If you don't have one by now is the time to start assembling one!
The organized events take place all evening, but the first of the night is also the first of its kind ever and it starts waaay before the 9pm rally that most people do. 6pm local and talented make up FX artists meet and face off to compete for a professional 2011 season contract with the infamous local haunt- The Callson Manor!!! The finalists will be announced at 9pm, but the winner won't be announced until the TFO stage show at the Crest later in the evening.
At 10pm everyone takes to the streets of Sacramento, weaving hordes of the undead through already large Second Saturday crowds. Literally hundreds of zombies come out every year for this.
The walk is free, and super family friendly- unlike the evening with TFO at the Crest which is strictly 18+.
At 11pm the masses migrate to the Crest Theatre at 1013 K Street where The DEAD Party starts! Doors swing wide for the opening night of the 11th Annual Trash Film Orgy season, featuring the classic film Return of the Living Dead. All Seats $10 – but zombies get $1 off regular admission!! Like all TFO movies, there will be stage shows, game booths, and silliness amuck. So bring 10 friends, and come make some new ones!
Even though this event happens every year, it only happens once a year- so don't miss this.

No. People who want to be cool do the vampire thing. Anybody can be a zombie, just gargle some fake blood and spit. Its an excuse to get together and have some fun.

The parade ended up being over four blocks long, with hundreds of people participating. Our make-up artists were kept very busy creating unique and interesting faces for the throngs.
