In a bizarre event, Cork was besieged by zombies this Halloween. These hordes of undead weren't walking around looking for brains though; they were walking for charity.
What started off as a "Wouldnt it be cool if" Conversation between Edu and Chris, turned into something colossal almost over night thanks to their Facebook group and website The Resistanz. The walk started in the green area just above Bruce College on Patricks Hill at 4pm and after invading the city finished upVineyard Bar on Patrick Street
There was a great turn out and the effort made was beyond belief. The originality of the zombie attire was just awesome. My personal favorite had to be a gentleman dressed as Jesus, a clever take on the “zombie” genre. Other get ups included doctors, school pupils, businessmen and even a very disturbing clown…
The walk itself was hilarious. It’s actually pretty hard to act scary when you’re stumbling around shouting GRR and ARRRGH. We were blessed with the weather (maybe due to zombie Jesus) and as weird as we looked anyway at least we weren’t wet. The wrap party took place in the Vineyard with food and well-deserved pints. The bands Dirty Fix and Circus Cat provided the entertainment as well as Chris and Edu’s cheesy zombie mix tape.
Since the first walk was so successful its just going to have to become a yearly tradition that should only get bigger and better becoming more of a spectacle every year.More photos can be found on the Resistenz website.
