Why just fear the walking dead -- when you can actually be a part of their flesh-eating takeover of humanity? Join hordes of rotting revelers for the annual Long Beach Zombie Fest, a three-day invasion of undead music, guts, horror and fun. Lumber, amble and groan your way through the blood-soaked, nightmarish dystopia known as Rainbow Lagoon Park. The infamous Zombie Walk is happening on all three days of the fest, as well as free makeup services by artists from the Cinema Makeup School to help you look your gory worst. You'll also get to see actor Vincent Ward, who plays Oscar in TV's The Walking Dead, attend Thriller Workshops (to channel your inner Michael Jackson), survive for several minutes against a continuous horde of zombies, armed only with nerf guns and small LARP weapons, in Dystopia Rising, and much, much more. It would be horrific to miss this jam-packed event.
