Feeling zombified? Walk it out.

On Saturday, people will be gathering on Hollywood Blvd for the latest SoCal Zombie Walk. Meet at 5:30 p.m. at 1718 N.Cherokee Ave in the courtyard of the parking structure located one building up from Geisha House restaurant. Walking starts at 6:30 p.m. Here are the Do's & Don'ts:

Do:

1. Dress like a zombie.

2. Walk on the sidewalk. Not on the street.

3. Moan intermittently. Walk in an uncoordinated fashion. Lumber, stumble or shamble along.

4. Keep your language kid-friendly. This is an all-ages walk.

Don't:

1. Show up drunk, or drink while walking.

2. Touch anyone or anything. Keep hands to yourself.

3. Bring weapons.

4. Bother or scare anyone during the walk.

@8f6f18776c3bc0bd14877929135313ca:disqus - You ask a very important question. This is what you do: First, ask yourself, "Am I insane?" If the answer to that question is "no," then you are in some serious trouble. Look around. Is there a tree of some sort you can climb up onto? Zombies are known for their poor physical coordination (stumbling, shambling, dragging feet, etc.). I'd bet that climbing is not in their repertoire of moves. Another option is hiding. Did you come to this event in costume? It is highly possible that your zombie makeup is so convincing, so real, so undead, that actual zombies will be fooled by it. In this case, my advice is to bring your A-game zombie walk (see: Shaun of the Dead, how to walk like a zombie scene). Finally, you might try fighting your way out should the "real" zombies attack. Can you fashion some sort of rudimentary weapon from any available resources? A branch from the tree to use as a spear? A severed leg to use as a club? Think along those lines and you can't go wrong! Best of luck with this, Zombielovyr.
