Zombies on the move tonight in Downtown Memphis
The Fifth Annual Memphis Zombie Massacre
Memphis Zombies converge on South Main this evening (May 27,2011) for the 5th Memphis Zombie Massacre. The mass lurch kicks of at Ernestine & Hazel’s at 6:30. It’s Trolley Night, so there will be lots of non-zombies in the crowd, some marked with a duct tape X to indicate their willingness to be zombified. The route will be north on Main, then west to terrorize Beale Street. If you want to participate, there’s more info at the Memphis Zombies site.
Here is my video from last year’s massacre:
