Gadsden Zombie Parade 2010

The 6th annual Zombie Parade in Gadsden, AL took place this past Saturday. I have been wanting to attend this event for the past 5 years, and have just never made it.

About 3 weeks ago I was hanging out with a friend and we started talking about it. I looked it up on my oh-so-awesome iphone and immediately put it on my google calendar. It was tentative since I wasn’t sure game time for bama football yet. As a matter of fact, when Rich said “do you want to go?”, I said “I don’t know, let me check the football schedule!”

Last week we found out that bama was playing a super late game, so the Zombie Parade was on! After driving around Birmingham “lost” (I was hung over and my driving skills were not up to par.) for a while and running by Party City for more blood, we headed to Gadsden.

My favorite zombies were the little ones. I think it’s awesome that parents include their children in things like this!

The little girl this doll belonged to wasn’t happy untill she could pour blood on it! (in the background, she was 2 or so!)
(this is also my favorite picture of the day)

I am not sure if I look this way from the make up or the hangover! The blood wasn’t enough, so I ended up getting more after I took this picture.

I am now on a mission to have a Birmingham Zombie Parade next year. The parade permit is cheap, and I know a bunch of people who would zombie out for the event! Keep that in your heads, folks, next year we are doing this!

    That looks like so much fun! Love the little ballerina zombie. Too cute!
    So glad you could go and share the pics with those of us too far away to attend.

    This is fantastic! Love all things zombies and the little girl who was upset until her doll was bloody is funny. Start them young. Glad the parents are cool with it. My mom never got my love for horror growing up and still wonders why I like to watch “that gory stuff.”
