Events: Amsterdam Zombie Walk & Halloween Party

Ah, zombie walks! Making humans into beautiful rotting creeps since who knows when. Their popularity seems to have grown along with the love for all things walking dead recently, but this zombie walk is different because...it's in the Netherlands! Honestly, that's the important difference here, because I'm writing about it for Johnny Madrid/Tim E. who lamented that nothing like this ever happens in the Netherlands. Well, here you go! (You know, because the Netherlands only consists of Amsterdam, obviously. Heh.)

The Walking Dead Zombie Walk & Amsterdam Halloween Premiere Party

On Saturday, October 29th, 2011, a horde of infected undead will spew into Amsterdam to take part in The Walking Dead Halloween Party and Zombie Walk. These zombie-only events are being organised by Amsterdam Halloween and FOX International as promotion for the zombie series 'The Walking Dead', season 2 of which premieres in the Netherlands in October 2011. 

The walk, which is free to participate in, leaves from Metrostation Rokin (NZ-lijn) at 8:30pm, meaning you need to arrive at 7:30pm. After the walk, there will also be the Amsterdam Halloween Party/Walking Dead Launch Party at WesterUnie from 10:00pm - 07:00am. Tickets for the party cost €27,50 each.

TV: The Walking Dead

For those of you who may not know it yet; the American comic book series "The Walking Dead" has now been adapted into a TV series, which premiered on October 31st. Even though only two episodes have been released so far,  it has already been announced that there will be a second season due to the big success this TV adaptation is having.

These comics related the trip of a few people trying to survive a Zombie Apocalypse. It's mainly centered around Rick Grimes, a local police officer, who falls into a coma after being shot. When he wakes up days later at the hospital, he finds it totally abandoned and full of corpses... and zombies.

I have to say I didn't have the chance to read the comics but the two episodes released until now are really worth watching. So, if you like zombies or just have nothing better to do, give it a try.  This series is as delicious as some big braaaaaaiiiiiiiiiinnnsss......
