Flipside Memphis - Zombie Attack

Brains. That's what they want. Specifically, your brains. Every year the undead hoard descends on Beale Street to wreak havoc all over the south end of Downtown. It's the Memphis Zombie Massacre, and it's all in good fun. Well, good and bloody fun, anyway.

WIkipedia says the first zombie walk happened in 2003 in Toronto, Ontario. The virus immediately spread, and soon zombies were roaming cities all over the world. The first Memphis Zombie Massacre happened in 2007, and the undead hoard has grown every year. In 2009, more than 400 of the groaning, shambling reanimated dead terrorized tourists and residents alike before reforming on Beale for a spontaneous dance party. The costumes ranged from the makeshift to the elaborate, and first-time zombies could get their makeup done by pros in Handy Park. Victims and zombie hunters lined the route, fleeing, being eaten, and fending off zombies with squirt guns. There was even a Zombies Anonymous booth where the terrifying revenants could seek help to kick the brain habit. And then, as soon as it had begun, it was over.

At least until next year. Hold on to your brains!
