HOW TO BECOME A ZOMBIE
Think blood, open wounds, bruises, burns, decaying flesh, bite marks, tire
tracks, a bolt through your head. Yellow, blue, green, and grey are healthy skin
tones for zombies. You can’t overdo it, we promise.
Think about characters. Be a musician zombie, a business-person zombie, a
tourist zombie, a firefighter zombie, a deadhead zombie. Have fun with it.
The high-budget version: With liquid latex, you can build truly spectacular
open wounds. Add some color and some stage blood.
The lower-budget version: Burn a cork and rub the ash into your skin for a
fabulous grey dead look. Corn syrup + red food coloring makes decent blood. You
can build rotting flesh with wax, raw egg, or white glue, then add some color.
Rub dirt on your hands. Run your car over your pants. Use ***** drugstore eye
shadow in blue or green on your cheeks. Rip and/or burn your clothing.
The almost-no-budget version: Show up with duct tape on your torso, and the
zombies will attack you, eat your brains, cover you with blood, and turn you
into one of them. Your costume won’t look great, but you get the joy of having
your brains eaten by a mob of zombies in public.
WHAT TO DO ONCE YOU ARE A ZOMBIE
You are hungry for brains! “Innocent” bystanders will signal that they want to
play by wearing duct tape on their torsos. Feel free to eat their brains,
especially if you have extra blood or make-up and can turn them into a zombie
too. DO NOT attack people who are not wearing duct tape; they taste bad.
Moan, stagger, lurch. Play. Talk to people. Have fun!
WHAT TO BRING
Everything you wear is likely to end up covered with blood, make-up, and random
body parts ripped off other people. Don’t wear or bring anything that has to
stay clean.
Think about props – brains to eat, extra body parts, or props/costumes that can
signal who your character is. For instance, a tourist zombie could have a ripped
Hawaiian shirt and a camera, and try (ineffectually) to take pictures.
Bring extra blood to make new zombies! Please bring it in plastic bottles or
tubes, not glass.
WHAT ELSE
Please pass this notice on!
