Toronto Zombie Walk 2010

Toronto Zombie Walk 2010

The Toronto Zombie Walk 2010 included a Rob Ford detractor zombie, a TTC employee zombie and a Toronto Maple Leafs zombie amongst the thousands who marched from Trinity-Bellwoods Park to Christie Pits Park.

Now in its eighth year, the zombie walk has become a pre-Halloween institution, gathering in size each successive year. Last year's zombie walk drew 6,000 participants.

Here's a visual look at some of the gruesome characters represented at this year's Toronto Zombie Walk.

I began to get hunger pains, so I ducked into Big Fat Burrito, where I encountered this motley crew.

"There better not be a zombie coming in here and asking for a vegan burrito," joked the server. How about a brain burrito instead?

Augusta Street was filled with undead by mid-afternoon. Crossing College Street was a bit of a challenge.

"Look at this fucking hipster" read her sign. Not sure if this was tongue-in-cheek or an attempt at dark humour.

By 5:15 p.m. I was getting soaked and didn't quite make it to the zombie destination of Christie Pits park, or The Bloor Cinema, where they screened a 35mm print of Return of the Living Dead.
