The NYC Zombie Crawl returned to Brooklyn on Sunday. Held every Memorial Day weekend for the better part of a decade I feel like I have photographed this madness dozens of times… but maybe that’s because there is also the Manhattan version of the crawl in October, plus special events like movie premieres, zombie beauty pageants and even zombie raves. I have photographed so many NYC Zombie events that I want to do a book of this stuff quickly to cash in on the zombie craze before people finally get sick of zombies. I mean the Walking Dead has to end eventually right?

Anyway, the crawl started out at Trash Bar in Williamsburg, headed to McCarren Park to harass kickball playersa, then over to Bar Matchless for the insane after party. This year the zombies got stopped by the cops and for some reason they were totally reasonable. After pulling several hundred zombies over, they just redirected them up Bedford Ave instead of Driggs. Despite the fact that zombies were jumping on cars and stopping busses all the cops asked was that we walk with the flow of traffic. They then shut down all of Bedford as we walked to the park. It was sort of amazing considering the zombie crawl had no permits or any sort of permission to be doing this madness.

So I gotta get ready to leave town again tomorrow so I am gonna just leave you with these pictures, but I will be back before I bounce with some wild photos from the after party. So come back ASAP.
