It is with great sadness that I must announce that the plague has reached Ottawa. I repeat, the national capital is no longer an epidemic-free area. Contrary to popular beliefs, zombies do survive in the cold.
When I entered Macdonald Gardens Park, immediately realized we were in trouble. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any weapon to fight back and I was forced to hide behind my camera. Some zombies spotted me. However, my French blood is full of blue cheese and this very un-Canadian taste seemed to repel them at first.
Soon, a long horde of newly-deads, including Colonel Khadafy, marched down Saint Patrick Street, blocking the traffic and scaring passer-by. Ottawa citizens stood no chance against the zombies, lurching and groaning for brains. The police could barely contain the madness. I stood on the side, trying to document the apocalyptic invasion. I risked my life for these pictures.
I don’t think I was contaminated. Yet I’m hungry too. For brains… juicy brains…
I’m going to have nightmares for weeks!
Sorry! 😆
That is really cool! I love the zippered face 🙂
I know, it took me a minute to figure out how she did it!
Some of those costumes are amazing – and scary!
Were there children watching the parade? As a child, I would have been terrified.
(But then, I was frightened by the movie The Wizard of Oz…)
Yes, there were a lot of kids and they seemed to be just fine. I guess if parents explain the event beforehand…
The other night, I was heading back home from the university, and I sat next to one of these zombies! His dead skin was quite realistic!
Cool! So there was a walk in Buffalo too?
I think it was more university-related, as all the participants were students. But then again there might be something happening in the city that I am just not aware of.
So funny 😀 Biohazard returns!!!!
I love that quirky sense of humour 🙂
What is PETA going to do with Zombie Walk?
I guess it was just a joke on the vegetarian vs. zombie 🙂
That is one creative group of zombies! I don’t know where to start! That face zipper mask was very original But, they all seem to be full of blood and very mad as some are armed.
I remember seeing a news report about the Zombie walk in Paris and it seemed much less colorful than this walk.
Ha! Blue cheese as a zombie repelant! I am not French but since I eat a lot of French cheese too, I must have also have immunity. ..
Oh, so they have it in France too? That’s pretty cool! I first heard of it in Canada but I guess it’s a type of event that can be held everywhere in the world.
This looks like fun and glad to hear that your French blood was safe 🙂
I was lucky, otherwise I would have become one of them… can you imagine?!
Ewwwwwwwwww….it is no longer just clean fun of trick and treat but getting scary, eerie and downright frightening. It is the same here in Resort World Universal Studio…toooooo nightmarish 🙁
Aw, I don’t mind. I find it funny actually!
Funny how there are so many walks all across north america. So many people on this walk!!! Great pics.
It was a much bigger walk than I expected! Did you have one on the West Coast too?
Yeah, zombie walks are everywhere — Toronto’s was last weekend, too. But I’ve photographed two of them and decided that’s enough blood and brains for me!
I only found out about the zombie walks last year, when I stumbled upon… well, zombies. So this year I was prepared!
LOL @ the texting zombie. Technology is so addictive, even the undead can’t be away from it for too long! 😉
That chick with the zipper face mask is amazing! How the hell did she make that?
I know! I think the zipper part is hidden in her hair. I stared at it for a good two minutes trying to figure it out!
Oh so scary! But I enjoy zombie movies – they’re soooo thrilling! 😀
And it was good fun!
