Seoul Zombie Walk 2010

The Seoul Zombie Walk is a gathering of non-zombies who dress and try to look like the undead.  Any real zombies who attended were immediately shot in the head.  After getting sufficiently inebriated, their off to scare anything living.

This tour started in Seoul Forest (Ttukseom Stn.) and went to Hongdae.  During the zombie trek they successfully scared a number of people including, but not limited to shop keepers, people in restaurants, children (lots) and families in cars.  However, zombie scare tactics are apparently nullified by the grit of older Korean men.  Many were more than not pleased with the situation.  One even called the cops on the walking dead.

On the subway zombies continuously shocked and amazed people.  Scratching at the windows, occasionally leaving blood marks, acting dead then freaking out all were weapons used to scare people who had no idea what was going on.  The zombies continuously lurked through every car of the train scaring every new passenger to get on.  Afterwords bystanders pulled out their cell phone to get pictures and video of the "not so scary anymore" zombies.

Once in Hongdae the zombies scared almost everyone including a police officer who ran for his life, but after the initial shock ran out everyone piled in for a photo shoot with their favorite zombie.




Overall it was a fun experience with lots of fun people using the scary spirit of Halloween.
