A few quick things to make sure everyone – undead or otherwise – has a great time at the Dead Mile.
1. Respect the living. While yes, the living people walking around are the best source of fresh brains, keep in mind that they’re pretty uptight about getting covered in blood for some reason. Look, but don’t touch.
2. Keep to the sidewalks, and obey traffic signals. We don’t need any ‘zombie vs. truck’ scenes.
3. Try not to make too much of a mess. Window cleaning companies love the aftermath of a good zombie outbreak, but they’re about the only business in town that does.
4. The Dead Mile is, perhaps surprisingly, a family-friendly event… there will be kids and grown ups along for the shuffle, so keep this in mind while you’re on the walk. After all, the undead aren’t really known for drinking in the afternoon, using extreme profanity or otherwise acting like a pack of rowdy jackasses. Be cool, and maybe we can keep doing this in the years ahead.
