Zombie Walk and Z-DAY, Sunday Oct. 21, 2007
The OFFICIAL TORONTO ZOMBIE WALK, last year attended by over 500 fans dressed up as members of the undead, is once again teaming up with Toronto After Dark Film Festival. This year zombies can look forward to a whole day of dead mayhem, with the walk, time for a bite to eat and some drinks, and then TWO amazing new zombie film screenings to cap the night off in undead style.

THE WALK
Z-DAY starts at approximately 3.30pm, Sunday, October 21 with a zombie gathering at Trinity Bellwoods Park. Then begins the traditional walk / stroll/ stagger up to to Bloor Street. Don’t forget to bring your camera as it’s quite a sight in broad daylight to see the city crawling with the undead! Get the route and latest details at the Official Toronto Zombie Walk website here.
At the end of the walk there will be a break for some drinks, at around 5pm in the area of the Bloor Cinema, before the walking dead can look forward to a double bill of blood and brains screening at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival that night.
THE SCREENINGS
First up, at 6.45pm will be the Canadian Premiere of the heart-pounding zombie virus outbreak film AUTOMATON TRANSFUSION. Then to wrap the day of the dead, at 9.30pm the Toronto Premiere of the highly anticipated new side-splitting zombie musical comedy POULTRYGEIST: NIGHT OF THE CHICKEN DEAD directed by Troma Studios’ LLOYD KAUFMAN.
