Day of the dead

Just because you're a zombie doesn't mean you can't have style, as we learned at the last Zombie Pub Crawl.

Amy Schilz

26, zookeeper

Were you killed in these clothes? Yes.

What's a better fashion accessory: blood, bits of brain, or bruising? Bits of brain.

How do you get that wonderful pale greenish pallor? It comes naturally after death.

Hey, wait ... zombies don't talk, do they? Only once a year at the Zombie Pub Crawl.

Taren Hinkle

24, zombie appreciator

Were you killed in these clothes? Yes, I was bitten by a zombie dog.

What's a better fashion accessory: blood, bits of brain, or bruising? Blood -- definitely adds color to the typical zombie outfit.

How do you get that wonderful pale greenish pallor? Being undead for a few years will do it to you.

Hey, wait ... zombies don't talk, do they? Yeah, you're right. ... Brraainnns!

Mama Crash

25, North Star Roller Girls blocker

Were you killed in these clothes? Yeah -- after I took out the other team's star player during warm-ups, they put me in a shallow grave.

What's a better fashion accessory: blood, bits of brain, or bruising? Bruising -- there's more colors.

How do you get that wonderful pale greenish pallor? Hey, now! A girl's got to keep some of her beauty secrets!

Hey, wait ... zombies don't talk, do they? Zombie? I'm just trying to find my way back to the penalty box.

"Nasty" Nate McCannington

165, lawman

Were you killed in these clothes? Rightly so, ma'am.

What's a better fashion accessory: blood, bits of brain, or bruising? Probably my pistol -- blood gets caught in my mustache.

How do you get that wonderful pale greenish pallor? Reckon it's from this living-dead thing I'm doin' now.

Hey, wait ... zombies don't talk, do they? Where I come from ma'am, you always answer a pretty lady. [Winks, eye falls out.] Oh, marmalade, I made a mess of myself.
