[[File:Zombie costume portrait.jpg|thumb|New Jersey Zombie Walk participant, 2009]] A '''zombie walk''' is a trek made by people costumed as [[zombie]]s. These people may also act as starving zombies. They pretend to be looking for human brains to eat. Some people create characters for themselves such as zombie [[bride]]s, [[clown]]s, or [[mad scientists]]. These walks are community events. They are sometimes held near [[Halloween]]. There are day walks and night walks. People of all ages join the walk. Sometimes professional make up artists help walkers prepare their faces. Variants on the walk format include zombie [[pub crawl]]s and zombie runs. A walk might be held to raise money for a community concern such as local hunger. Sometimes walkers bring packaged and canned foods for the local [[food bank]]. Zombie Walks are held around the world. They may attract thousands of zombie walkers. In October 2013, the annual New Jersey Zombie Walk had the largest crowd of zombies ever at 9,592. This crowd walked along the [[Asbury Park, New Jersey|Asbury Park]] [[boardwalk]].
