The Living Dead March On Parliament Hill

I thought of posting these in two separate posts today, but figured one photo-heavy post would be better, as both subjects are right for today. These Hallowe'en decorations are outside of a house in Centretown. I took the shots a few days ago.


The Zombie Walk is an annual tradition in early October. People who love the zombie genre get themselves all zombiefied and march (zombie style) up to Parliament Hill. I came across the event after much of it was done, but there were still some of the participants on and around the Hill.

  11. Looks like your neighbors to the south aren't the only ones smitten with Halloween. It is even on the same day. Great pics.

  14. Wow! What a collection of photos and kooks. What is the fascination with the macabre? Great series, though, William!

    P.S. I think some of these folks work for da Trumpf

  15. Nice shots, William. I still don't understand anything of this strange party, but I will have to get used to it, I think, because it's coming to the Netherlands more and more ...

  21. I've never understood the zombie fad. Guess maybe I'm getting too old!

  22. Great decorations and costumes. The zombie craze has me baffled too. Now people freak out over clowns too. Red Skelton would be horrified.

  23. Wow! That's a great entrance for a haunted house setting! My niece loved participating in the zombie walk when she was at Carleton. I think it was the highlight of her university years.
