KreweDCM INVASION! 2007 Halloween Parade

KreweDCM INVASION! 2007

For most downtown party goers on Halloween 2007, expectations for that Wednesday night were the same as any year. Thousands of costumed revelers went downtown to celebrate Halloween--to see and be seen. The streets were full, but certainly not as crowded as the previous Saturday. Everything appeared to be Halloween as usual until 9:00 PM, when the crack of snare drums began to echo a death march between the high rise office buildings. KreweDCM's Invasion! 2007 had begun and Halloween in downtown Austin would never be the same.

KreweDCM's inaugural parade was military themed...essentially, an army of the undead released from Hades to invade and conquer the living world. The military motif featured three monstrous divisions: the Zombie Army, Vampire Air Force, and Evil Mermaid Navy.

Leading the procession from our staging area north of the Capitol, the KreweDCM Skeleton Wardrums rained down thunder and awe upon the citizens. The Zombie Army, Vampire Air Force, Evil Mermaid Navy, and Swamp Monster Marines were attended to by a most menacing Plague Doctor Medic and giant Pumpkin-Head stilt monster. Chasing the entire undead military down the route was none other than Hades' eight foot tall, three headed hell hound guard dog--Cerberus!
