Just as nothing says "spring is coming" like the first crocus coming out of the ground, nothing says "summer is coming" like the annual rising of the brain-crazed dead in Brooklyn. Which is to say, the annual Zombie Crawl returns this Sunday!
The crawl, now in its sixth year, is pretty much exactly what you think it is—a pub crawl with zombies. Think Santacon but with less real puke, more diverse costumes and way more fake blood and guts flying around. See for yourself by checking out these photos from last year's festivities.
As in the past, there are lots of activities planned beyond drinking while dressed as the undead. Those include contests, raffles, giveaways, a Misfits cover band, a zombie burlesque, a late night "Hot Zombie" contest and much more. Just remember: Zombies, as far as we know, aren't real, so don't actually try and re-kill anyone you see on Sunday! The fun kicks off at at 3:30 p.m. at Trash Bar and then continues throughout the night. It certainly is one way to spend your Memorial Day eve!
