Zombie Guide

Here's a great tip, since body make up turned out to be such a pain.

Do Your Best to Look Your Worst

On this page you'll find some cool links to get you started on the road to Zombiedom, and some suggestions to inspire you in your choice of costumes. Down the page you'll find some ideas for Zombie Make-up, which between us, is all you really need, along with last week's laundry. 

The Quick and Dirty is:

1. Find some clothes you can live without and destroy them. Then add blood to the collar, cuffs, and anywhere else you can reach.

2. Mess up your hair as much as you can. Shake baby powder into it, and stick in a few twigs and leaves.

3. Skin- gray, eyes- black, mouth- bloody.

Want more? Carry on.

One of the things that makes this event so much fun is that the costumes are easy to make, once you get the hang of thinking Zombie. The best Zombie costumes are the"Who was I?" type. The trick is to imagine what you were doing at the moment that your Zombie life began, and what happened to cause it.

Old fashioned historic clothing looks really good, if you happen to have a Marie Antoinette dress lying around, or a twenties flapper ensemble. Or a fifties look with a cocktail hat, gloves and pocketbook...Edwardian men make fantastic Zombies. Are you starting to get the idea?

Once you've recognized your inner Zombie, the next thing is to figure out how you were killed. The easiest way is obviously, another Zombie got to you! Or, it could have been a bullet or a bomb. Did you get hit by a car? Did your wife catch you and come at you with a kitchen knife? Were you a stockbroker who jumped out of a window, or a cowboy who got in the way of an arrow? Maybe you're a gardener who tripped and fell on her shears. What ever it was, try to indicate it with your costume. But don't get stressed out about it. Remember the number one reason for Zombies is ...other Zombies!
