As we sweep up the last remaining bits of brain matter, leftover entrails and other assorted fleshy parts here at Dover Zombie Walk Central, we’re also scouring the internets for footage of other zombie attacks. Here’s a clip from the recent zombie walk in Asheville, North Carolina; the zombie apocalypse there coincided with a visit from Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who by now must realize that once you lose the zombie vote, you’ve lost America.
Where were you when the zombie horde invaded Dover? If you were smart, you stayed inside, grabbed a shotgun and readied yourself for imminent attack. But that means you also missed the Dover Zombie Walk! We ask that you now live vicariously through this video, provided by Scott Arsenault. Somehow, Mr. Arsenault managed to snap a few photos, too, before he was consumed by the zombie mob.
We’re still in the process of collecting pictures and video, and more should be up later this week.
Thanks to the multitude of zombies, ghouls, and other creatures of the undead for making the third annual Dover Zombie Walk a cadaverous, corpsetacular success! We had close to 100 people turn out for the walk and proceed to shamble through downtown before storming Adelle’s Coffee House and feasting on the delicious (Jell-O) brains inside.
Our shennanigans even attracted the attention of the local media, and an account of the zombie invasion can be read in Foster’s Daily Democrat.
Photos, video and other records of the Dover zombie apocalypse will be forthcoming, once we gather everything together and reattach that pesky arm that keeps falling off.
Once again, huge zombie-thanks to our awesome sponsors, Silver Moon Creperie, Adelle’s Coffee House, Nellie Woe’s Comics ‘N Such, The Barley Pub and SecondRun Books, all of whom will be on the shortlist for entry into our anti-zombie survival bunker when the inevitable zombie invasion finally occurs.
And my, is it gorgeous. Designed by Stacey Lucas with an illustration by Michael Sean Piper, it is a thing of glorious, shambling beauty, sure to inspire wonder, fear, curiosity and all those other emotions that lead to so many awkward moments in your teenage years. Behold and tremble!
The Official Zombie Walk Poster
Posters will soon be up around Dover, Portsmouth and other fine Seacoast locales, so keep an eye out! And don’t forget – we are a mere 15 days away from zombie madness! Mark your calendars, reattach that arm that keeps falling off and get your costume ready!
This is it! The moment you’ve been waiting for while trapped in your grave, ravenous for brains! The third annual Dover Zombie Walk will descend upon Dover on Saturday, October 25 at 3 p.m.! Dust the grave soil off your finest zombie threads, brush the ichor off your teeth and practice your best zombie voice (you know the one–that low moan-growl that issues forth from your dessicated throat when you spot a tasty brain)–the Dover Zombie Walk is coming and it cannot be stopped!
He's ready for the Zombie Walk - are you?
You need details, you say? Of course! Zombi-fied adults and children should gather at Silver Moon Creperie (located at 20 3rd Street, adjacent to The Strand theater) at 3 p.m.–free hot mulled cider will be available for all ghouls preparing for the walk. We’ll set off down Central Ave. beginning at 3 p.m. and will walk down to Adelle’s Coffee House. A corpse-tacular celebration will follow, complete with refreshments, a zombie costume contest and a Jell-O “brain” eating contest. The best-dressed and hungriest zombies will walk away with fabulous prizes, including gift certificates to Nellie Woe’s Comics ‘N Such, Silver Moon Creperie, Adelle’s Coffee House, and SecondRun Books in Portsmouth, a fabulous Dan Blakeslee poster and much more! We’ll be walking rain or shine this year, as no respectable zombie can be stopped by inclimate weather!
Come in your zombie finery, but remember, this is an all ages event, so keep things somewhat appropriate (but still spooky!). We ask that all zombies, regardless of age, obey all traffic laws (lest a wayward motorist turn you into a real zombie) and be respectful of any pedestrians that may be on the sidewalk. Yes, their living flesh practically demands to be chewed upon, but please be courteous.

There’s still six months until Halloween, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be thinking about the annual Dover Zombie Walk. We’ve got huge plans for this year’s walk, plans so big that you’d need a pile of delicious brains to begin to comprehend them. But…that’s a story for another time. In the meantime, enjoy this video trailer from last year’s Zombie Walk!
