Poise, beauty, and BRAAAAAIIIIINS – these girls had it all. Flashback Weekend’s annual Zombie Pinup Contest was a fun event that showed that beauty really is only skin deep (rotting, stinking skin that is). You can view our photos of the event here.

It was a parade of fear yesterday as Chicago horror legend Svengoolie hosted the Flashback Weekend Costume Contest. Our very own Jef Porkins did a stunning job with his own makeup but sadly it was a man in a monkey suit (Planet of the Apes, specifically) that won Best in Show. You check out all our pics from the contest here.
