Driving down Bloor Street, I gasp and point out the window. "Hey look! A zombie!" We all crane our heads to get a look at the pale creature covered in blood as it shuffles its way down the sidewalk. "Hey, there's two more--schoolgirl zombies!" We park the car and walk down the block. Suddenly we're surrounded by hundreds of hissing and snarling zombies with ripped dirty clothes, messy hair, yellow teeth, gray skin, missing eyeballs, knives protruding from heads and chests.
On one Sunday every year in October, hundreds of Toronto's undead gather in a park and march the streets attacking unsuspecting pedestrians and motorists. And what is it they want? "Brains!! We want to eat your brains!"
Toronto invented the Zombie Walk. It was started in 2003 by a horror movie enthusiast named Thea Munster. Although the first walk had only six participants, in true zombie-plague fashion the numbers grew exponentially every year and the plague quickly spread to major cities throughout all of North America. Thousands of dead people now take part in these events worldwide.
As we try to take photographs without being mauled and eaten alive, a SWAT team appears. They manage to take down two of the monsters, but we all know how these films end. ...The SWAT team is outnumbered and doesn't stand a chance against these shuffling, hungry corpses.
Braaaiiinnnsss!
