Zero Hour Zombie Walk in Helsinki

Zombies! Zombies in Helsinki!

In celebration of season 6 of The Walking Dead the streets of Helsinki were overtaken by the living dead last Saturday, when this magnificent (and completely free!) zombie walk and outdoors fair organized by Zero Hour took place.

Our original idea was to just go and see what it’s all about and maybe snap a few photos, but we ended up getting all zombied up and scaring dozens of runners in a windy tunnel. And oh boy, how much fun it was! A great way to spend a day with your friends, if you’re either into running away from monsters and getting spooked, or getting into a zombie role to scare people.

Our make-up was done at the zombie make-up station by Zero Hour’s lovely make-up artists a couple of hours before the actual run. This was kindly sponsored by Head Hunter Store and Punanaamio, and they did such a great job we wanted to send special thanks!

What a fantastic day! Here’s to hoping we’ll have another one of these soon. If you’re interested in joining the fun next time, do check Zero Hour’s website for more detailed information and more photos from the event on their Facebook event page.

And now… let the photos speak for themselves.
