GWAR Frontman To Be Named Honorary Grand Marshal Of TORONTO ZOMBIE WALK

October 6, 2010

The Toronto Zombie Walk will host its eighth annual zombie walk on Saturday, October 23. The walking dead will begin their 5 kill-o-meter lurch across Toronto from Trinity Bellwoods Park to Christie Pits Park at 3 p.m. Pre-festivities start at 12 p.m. and include Henry's Photo Booth to preserve all your undead memories, Creeped Out's annual Blood Booth, prize give-aways to die for and a dubbing of the 2010 Toronto Zombie Walk grand marshal, Oderus Urungus, at 3 p.m.

Oderus Urungus, chief scumdog of marauding mutant metal impresarios GWAR, will be dropping by Trinity Bellwoods Park to be given the newly minted title of Honorary Grand Marshal. Oderus will start the zombie walk by making an opening announcement to the ravenous undead hordes before sending them forth with the new tradition of The Throwing of the Severed Head.

Registration for the Toronto Zombie Walk is free and open to all. Participants can register for the walk in advance on the Toronto Zombie Walkweb site or in person at Eyesore Cinema or Starstruck Entertainment or they can register on the day of the event at the walk.

After the walk, the Toronto Zombie Walk will host a film showing of "Return Of The Living Dead" (1984) at The Bloor Cinema at 7 p.m. Prices for the movie are $10 for the living and $8 dollars for registered (toe-tagged) undead. The night will be concluded with a special after party at the Bovine Sex Club.

The first documented zombie walk was held in Toronto in October of 2003 with seven zombies. The 2009 Toronto Zombie Walk drew an estimated 5,000 participants. The non-participating public also gets involved in the event, by coming out to watch, photograph, and videotape the participants from start to finish. The Walk was recently listed in June 2010 issue of Toronto Life magazine as one of the 50 reasons to love Toronto.
