Unholy hordes of undead zombies will roam through the city on the 31st of May as crowds of foul, re-animated corpses seek to sate their fiendish lust for blood and human flesh. No need to retreat to the cellar of the nearest church, however, it is just Berlin’s first ever Zombie Walk.

Founded in Toronto five years ago the Zombie Walks have spread like a contagion around the globe and the Berlin event follows successful walks through Cologne, Frankfurt, and other German cities. The morbid merry makers will lurch their way from the World Clock on Alex to the Lustgarten, then shuffle down Unter den Linden to the Brandenburg Gate. After stuffing their rotting bellies full of tasty tourists the zombies will stumble over to Kino Moviemento to enjoy a special screening of George A. Romero’s masterpiece of gore, Dawn of the Dead.

It sounds like good, clean fun but just in case, remember, if you kill the brain you kill the zombie!
