Coverage of Omaha zombie walk

The Omaha World-Herald covered Sunday’s zombie walk.

The fundraiser was held in conjunction with World Zombie Day. For the past 15 years, horror movie fans have gathered on Oct. 26 to celebrate zombies and help charities. Omaha was one of 57 cities to participate this year.

“We’re having a great time, but we weren’t counting on this wind,” Tibbott said. “I guess zombies don’t like this (weather).”

Donations, however, were being briskly delivered to zombie headquarters. Tibbott estimated more than 100 pounds of donations were gathered for the Food Bank.

According to the World-Herald, there were only 17 participants in Sunday’s walk. Sources tell Doomkopf.com the final headcount at Saturday’s walk in Benson was 202, not including people who left early and/or didn’t want their picture taken.
