The easiest way to become a zombie is to be infected by a zombie. However, since there have been no recent confirmed reports of zombies in the tri-state DC metro area, we will have to fake it.

Make Up

We will have a team of make up pros that will be charging a nominal fee (with proceeds going to Toys For Tots), but for those of you wanting to do your own make up we have one site we recommend highly.

Clothing

As for clothes, zombies come from all walks of life so any type or style of clothing should do. But keep in mind two things. First, you will probably ruin your clothes with makeup, fake blood (and for the drunken zombies possibly real vomit). Plus tears, tatters, mud and blood just add to the zombie fashion sense. Two, this is DC in December, it will be cold. While we highly approve of our female zombies coming scantily clad, it may be rather cold so consider yourself aptly warned.

Behavior

Learn to act like a zombie. Zombies are slow, lethargic, uncoordinated, and barely able to communicate. Our zombies need to be able to act this way even BEFORE the drunken zombies hit the bars.

• When in doubt, moan or gasp for air, this always helps add zombie points to your persona. Keep your mouth open, this is the one time in life where you are more likely to attract a mate while drooling, take advantage of this.
• Stagger, don’t walk. Lean over and walk clumbsy, if you fall, that’s fine. Crawl a few feet then stumble to get back up. Your arms should be limp and lifeless or held in front of you loosely. Your legs should drag behind you. Limping and dragging your leg isn’t just for wannabe gangsters, it was originally zombie pimp walking.
• Interact with civilians, that’s part of the fun. But DO NOT under any circumstances touch civilians or create too much disruption (to traffic or people). If you see an attractive member of the opposite sex be sure to express your lust for them with a healthy moan or groan. Grunt and groan all you want, but please keep verbal communication to a bare minimum. Some zombies like to moan “BRAINS,” but other old school zombies argue that zombies crave living flesh and not just brains, plus old school zombies can’t get out a coheive word like “Brains”. DC/ZC welcomes all generations of zombies, we do not discriminate!
• Be completely moronic, let the living live under the delusion that zombies are stupid and uneducated. This is the delusion that will one day enable zombies to take over the Earth.
