Zombies Take Over Córdoba, Argentina

Zombie Walk Cordoba
At 4:00 p.m. on November 9th, 2013, the dead started rising in Cordoba City, Argentina. Is the end of the world really upon us? No. It's just Zombie Walk Cordoba 2013!

Now before I continue, I want to point out that all the images you see are of people dressing up as zombies. Nobody was hurt in these images nor are they real-life zombies. It's all fake for fun! Okay?

Every year, Cordobeses of all ages come to Plaza San Martin dressed up as the living dead or as zombie hunters, like the Umbrella Corporation troops from Resident Evil.

This was our first year attending the event as spectators and it was truly an interesting experience. Even our fellow expat friend, Sarah-Claire, joined in on the fun.

A horde consisting of zombies and human survivors walked through the streets of downtown Cordoba City, amusing locals and tourists in areas like El Paseo de Buen Pastor (the cultural center that used to be a women's prison), and the shopping center Patio Olmos.

This event was a lot of fun and helped distract us from the stress we've endured over the past several months abroad. I don't know if we'll come back again next year mostly because it was super crowded and I don't do well with crowds. But it was an unforgettable experience just the same. 

Check out the video footage of the zombie walk. Feel free to praise my video editing skills. And remember... you can click on any of the photos in the entry to enlarge the image.
