Slideshow of Fort Lauderdale Zombie Walk 2012

Swarms of rotting souls invaded the Green Room to get undead. Professional makeup artists were on hand to kill the masses with face paint.
Black Friday's DJ Mike LinderSMASH led the way, wrangling walkers by way of a chainsaw. The smell of gasoline was preferable to the aroma of rotting flesh.

5. Zombie babies

Nothing is more ironically disturbing than partying alongside dozens of not-yet-walking dead jits. They bobbed for apples like pros and jumped around the Green Room stage like true party animals in training. And who doesn't love bruised and bloody babies when it's not really a bruised and bloody baby? So freakin cute, right?! Well, it's something. Something that reminds us of Trainspotting.

3. Prom-bies

Definitely one of the most popular group concepts this year. This clique may have perished during the best time in every young adolescent lives, but we can't help but wonder if they ate their dates pre or post slow dance. These aren't gals you wanna stand up.

2. Broke ass zombies

Because "homeless" or "bum" just isn't PC enough for us. This duo of rotting rebels squatted right by the entrance and had all passerbys in fits of laughter. We're hoping they made a couple bucks and returned the shopping cart to its respective lot before one of Fort Lauderdale's destitute vagabonds reports it missing.

1. Tourist trapped zombies

Ok, so maybe this is a little biased (because that's me on the far left), but this group is a perfect representation of what a Disneyland disaster would look like. From fanny packs, Mickey ears, socks with sandals, and all around tacky tourist gear, this six-some knocked it out of the park, if I do say so myself. I do say so, so there ya go.
