Beach of the Dead: Zombie walk in Brighton
I'd always missed the previous year's Zombie Walk perhaps down to being the same Saturday as Halloween parties or White Night. For this year's Beach of the Dead a few of my friends decided to join the undead celebration which by the end of the day seemed to be the biggest and best yet.
Zombie friends consisted of office worker, disco dancer of the dead, dead Alice, senorita and a dead Jane Austin. The dining table was covered in copydex glue, fake blood, powder, some mirrors and a bottle Tuaca, the zombie choice of poison.
As if a distant church bell rang at 3pm, all zombies shuffled over to Victoria Park in Brighton where everyone compared bites, cut off limbs and zipped up skin. There didn't seem to be much organisation as for a starting time to get the mass killed off conga through town as everyone was either posing for the living. Somehow, they all set off down Church Street past the Brighton Dome causing traffic queues. I managed to find a good position away from the grabbing zombie hoard to stand on a bollard and look down and see a mass of undead harrassing cars, minibuses and pedestrians. It was a sound moaning, shouting and young children crying at the bloody sight.
The route winded its way through town and down to the seafront of which we took a short cut to catch them before they entered the Concorde 2 event.
