World Zombie Day III: On 10.10.10, The Dead Will Walk Again

Mark Menold, host of Pittsburgh’s “The It’s Alive Show,” is pleased to announce the third annual

WORLD ZOMBIE DAY on Sunday, October 10, 2010. Participants in cities all over the world will

dress up as zombies while collecting food for local food banks.

World Zombie Day is an international event that grew from Pittsburgh’s first Zombie Walk at

Monroeville Mall in 2006. At the site where George Romero filmed Dawn of the Dead, this event drew

nearly 1000 people in zombie make-up and established a Guinness World Record® for “Largest

Gathering of Zombies.” The participants were encouraged to bring donations for the Greater Pittsburgh

Community Food Bank and more than 2000 pounds of food were collected that day.

In 2008, Menold and The It’s Alive Show founded World Zombie Day in response to other cities’

attempts to beat Pittsburgh’s record. Instead of competing for a world record, all fans of zombie culture

can come together in an international effort to relieve world hunger.

Pittsburgh’s Zombie Walk has established three World Records over the years and has garnered

international press coverage, including a segment on The Discovery Channel’s “Wreckreation Nation”

World Zombie Day, including New York, London, Paris, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. Expected to

participate this year are New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Seattle, London and

many, many more.
