April 24th: Philadelphia Zombie Crawl

BRRRRAAAIINNNNNSSSS! Come celebrate Easter the zombie way by donning your best zombie duds for Philly’s 6th annual Zombie Crawl along South St. This year brings some significant editions that will be sure to double your undead pleasure.

April 24’s crawl marks the first time under age Philadelphians will have their chance to zombie it up with a crawl pre-party at the TLA starting at 5pm. The $5 admission allows all ages (21+ to drink) access to the ghoulish sounds of DJ Kiltboy and a live performance of Rainbow Destroyer. If you’re not already rockin’ the fiendish look, face painting from About Face II will hook you up for just $10. The best zombies have a chance to win some prizes during the pre-party. At 7pm the party continues for the 21+ crowd.

4 bars are participating in the crawl this year: Tattooed Mom (which will also host more make-up stations), Lickety Split, Copa Banana and newbie The Legendary Dobbs. From 7-10pm the reanimated will shuffle along the South St strip, hitting up drink specials and zombie settings in the aforementioned watering holes.

10pm marks the closing party at the TLA, admission is free if you attended the pre-party (5 bucks if you didn’t) and is also a 21+ event. Dave Ghoul will handle the creepy tunes and Rigor Mortis Revue will provide the visual entertainment in addition to more prizes for best costumes. There’s also an after midnight dance party taking place at Fluid for an additional cover of $5.

So help celebrate the world’s most famous reanimated corpse by becoming one yourself! And remember to say hi, I’ll be the one with The Zombie Survival Guide, listening to Americans UK “Zombies Attack,” in my headphones, and clutching a Shaolin spade. I’m a survivor!
