On Oct 18, midtown Manhattan in New York was filled with the undead. The "deadly" participants in their usual zombie makeup indulged in terrorization of the neighborhood. The zombies were all the more scarier because many dressed up as heroes and heroines from childhood fairy-tales, only these zombies were plastered with blood-fueled makeup. These once beloved vanilla-flavored characters staggered and moaned, and scenes of the undead shuffling after mortals and scaring tourists made the midtown stink of a decaying atmosphere.
