2013 PHILLY ZOMBIE CRAWL: EASTER SUNDAY

2013-03-12T12:25:00.002-04:00

THE 8TH ANNUAL PHILLY ZOMBIE CRAWL ITINERARY!!

The evening starts at 6:00pm at the TLA (334 South Street) ... for the Zombie Pre-Game; featuring DJ Kiltboy and Dave Ghoul along with the official Philly Zombie Crawl makeup artists, who will be on hand to help you get your zombie face on! Admission is just $5 – which will get a wristband allowing you reentry through the night – especially for the official Philly Zombie Crawl Closing Party at the TLA starting at 10pm.

At the TLA (around 7:45pm) we will be awarding prizes to some of the most original zombies of the night - then zombies will be encouraged to follow our Zombie Leader out of the TLA and up South Street to 6th – where he will loop around and then return back to the TLA where we will be showing NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD on the big screen starting at 8pm.

Zombies are also invited to stumble off the crawl at one of several local watering holes that are embracing the undead all night long:

• Tattooed Mom 530 South Street
• Manny Browns 512 South Street
• Lickety Split 4th and South Streets
• Copabanana 4th and South Streets
• The Legendary Dobbs 304 South Street

These bars will welcome zombies with reanimated drink specials and unique atmospheres, perfect for zombie gatherings!

The TLA bar and venue will remain open throughout the evening as we screen the George A. Romero zombie classic while makeup stations work creatively until 10pm.

Whether you stay and enjoy the flick or crawl around South Street to visit your favorite zombie haunts, be sure to be at the TLA at 10pm for the official Philly Zombie Crawl Closing Party at the TLA – featuring DJ Kiltboy and Dave Ghoul along with a gruesomely special living dead performance from Rigor Mortis Revue. Closing Party starts at 10pm and ends at Midnight.

For those still hungry for more – join us for the Zombie After Dark party at Fluid Nightclub. Featuring the dark and dirty sounds by DJ John Stanley of BOTTOMS UP at The Bike Stop and DJ Robert Drake of Sex Dwarf. Doors to Fluid open at 11pm ... free for zombies with TLA wristbands - $5 for those without.

(and yes, Fluid will be closing for good in April – so this is our final Philly Zombie Crawl After Dark party – be sure to make it!)

Thank You Zombie Nation!
