Zombie fans who are NOT going to be in Chicago to visit us this weekend at Flashback Weekend but are in the Portland Maine area should definitely check out the annual Zombie Kickball event. If combining the words “zombie” and “kickball” doesn’t do it for you, I don’t know what will.

Zombie fans across the pond will be gathering this fall for Zombiecon - a 3 day convention of “Blood Filled Madness”. This is a fan-run event filled with 3 days of zombie makeup tutorials, zombie movie screenings, zombie games, and even zombie prom night. They’ve managed to score several interesting guests, including Charlie Adlard of Walking Dead fame.

Don’t forget to check out our convention listing page for information on other horror conventions!

For most of us it’s a long weekend, and if you’re a New Yorker, it could mean a long weekend of drinking with some of your zombie pals. A semi-regular event, the NYC Zombie Crawl is taking place this Sunday, May 25th in Brooklyn. Things kick off at Duff’s Bar, then move to Passout Records, and finally the night ends with a “Zombie Sideshow”.

Now, I know many of our readers live in the NYC area based on the free stickers we’ve sent out, so if you’re in the area check it out and send us some pictures!

Zombie Walk Detroit will be once again hosting a Zombie Walk, this time in Greek Town, Detroit.

Last year, the Zombie Reporting Center showed up and created a little video which you can view here. The ZWD staff does an EXCELLENT job coordinating these events so it is not to be missed! It also happens to fall on same day as the Red Bull Air Race so hopefully we’ll see some out of town zombies as well!

If you are going to HorrorHound Weekend in Pittsburgh during the weekend of the 20-22 of June, you MUST go to this Monsters HD sponsored late night screening of the original Dawn of the Dead at the Monroeville Mall! It’s showing on Saturday June 21st, as part of the Alamo Draft House Traveling Roadshow. You can get tickets at the con that weekend. Awesome…

In you live in or around the Chicago area, make sure you leave June 21st open, because it’s the first ever Zombie March Chicago! From their MySpace:

The more people the better, so invite your friends too. Invite the people you hang out with and help us break the record of 1,200 zombies! …Oh wait, we already have! On our Facebook’s group page, we have over 1,500 zombies going to show up, and the event is still months away. Be part of the biggest and first zombie walk in Chicago. If this goes well, there will be more to follow.

If they can actually have 1,500 zombies show up, that would be awesome, but only time will tell. Good luck Chicago!
