It was a perfect night for Zombies to be dancing in the street. Fourth Street that is....
Junipero to Cherry was shut down in order that ghouls, goblins, and dogs celebrating The Day of the Dead could mix in with the living and the 'living dead' for the MondoCelluloid sponsored Zombie Walk. The stores along Fourth Street were open and festive, offering everything from creepy cupcakes and zombie face painting to photo booths for the costumed in the front window of a "recycled" furniture store. Everyone seemed up for the ride, although maybe not in the pimped out hearse which was the only vehicle (other than the zombie killing tank, of course) that was allowed on Fourth Street. Spirits were high, Lola's was dishing out food, and Zombies met their Paparazzi with glee.
Thar definitely be Zombies:

I wasn't sure if this pair of 'living dead' had dressed specifically for the double feature:
The Art Theater is really hitting its stride these days with fantastic programming. It was, I'm sure, a sold out house for SHAUN OF THE DEAD:
Oh, and there was "Crazy Cindy". We can't forget her. Ummm, him. Ummm ..... :
But, despite all the zombies, zombie hunters, and zombie mashes, this being Southern California there were lots of wonderful tributes to Día de los Muertos. And I think I loved those best.
