Zombies - attack!

S.F. Zombie Mob

In one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard, San Francisco was yesterday invaded by flashmob zombies. The undead prowled from St. Mary’s Square to Union Square, eating any passers-by they came across before supplying them with fake blood and goo to join in the zombie prowl. As Boing Boing reports, they then headed for a picnic in the cemetery. Damn, I’d have loved to have done that :-) There’s not much on flickr as yet, but there are a some cool cellphone shots here.

Update: Via Waxy, some great shots here.

    I was in Toronto about a month ago. It was time for the Canadian Much Music Video Awards, so there was a lot to see. I was just walking around outside the studio, minding my own business. Then out of nowhere I saw a man walking up to me, arms outstretched, with blood pouring out of a massive head wound. I was a bit freaked out, I figured there must have been an accident or mob uprising. I wasn’t sure whether to call an ambulance or look for a police officer. Then I saw another man of the same description, and eventually a few more rounded the corner. I nudged my brother and he saw them too, even though nobody else was taking much notice. We finally realized that one of them was handing out fliers for a new zombie movie. New guerrilla marketing tactic, it seems. Oh, what fun. ;-)

    Yeek, I can see how that would be a little unnerving!

    While we’re talking zombies, have you seen Shaun of the Dead?
