The undead first strolled the streets of Toronto during Zombie Walk back in 2003, and it grew to become one of the city’s most popular Halloween events.
Toronto Raptors basketball player Amir Johnson and many other notable folks, both living and dead, made it a priority in their October calendars with more than 15,000 participants in 2014. But the event is on hiatus, hopefully temporarily, because the logistics just got too darn expensive.
But that doesn’t mean you have to put away the fake blood and gaping flesh wounds just yet. There are a few events of the undead around town that might satisfy your need for moooore braiiins.
There is a zombie pub crawl in downtown Toronto scheduled for Oct. 31. And one of the more original events is the Zombie Prom at Palaise Royale, where you and your undead corpse can trip the dark fantastic complete with a free glam photo shoot.
If dancing isn’t your thing, why not check out the fourth annual night of Zombie Wrestling, scheduled for Oct. 30, at Lithuanian House at 1573 Bloor St. W.
And for the really adventurous, there is Zombie Survival Camp, which bills itself as “Canada’s first zombie survival training camp.”
What we’re trying to say, here, is that if there is an event or activity you enjoy, you could likely just stick the word “zombie” in front of it, and away you go.
Zombie tennis, anyone?
