National Halloween, Horror, Haunted House and Hearse Convention

2010-04-21T16:16:00.004-04:00

If you didn't get enough zombie lovin' this past Philly Zombie Crawl, and you can't wait until June 11th for the Philly Zombie Beach Party, then might we suggest you take a short trip down the Schuylkill Expressway to the Valley Forge Convention Center for the National Halloween, Horror, Haunted House and Hearse Convention.

From April 29th to May 2nd you can find all things spooky, creepy, frighting, and yes, zombietastic, at this convention. Over 100 vendor booths (like our web monkey Grendel's Den Design Studio and some of our makeup artists like the folks from Safari Anomalous) as well as various seminars, tours, and events

Also, our very own co-organizer and zombie fan extrodinar, Dave Ghoul, will be providing all of the ghoulish tunes for the event's costume ball, which is ZOMBIE THEMED! Not enough you say. Well, how about throwing in the chance to win tickets to both the Philly Zombie Beach Party and the Philly Zombie Prom during the costume ball? Still not enough? OK, then add a fan favorite of the Philly Zombie Prom, The Young Werewolves to the mix, 'cause they'll be performing at the convention as well!

Visit the National Halloween, Horror, Haunted House and Hearse Convention website for full details, and we hope to see you there!

All You Zombies!

2010-04-19T18:22:00.004-04:00

For those who missed the infestation of zombies on South Street this past Easter Sunday night, what a Crawl you missed! Thanks to the well-over 600 zombies that came to South Street from 6pm until last call!

Zombie destinations were hoppin' all evening - in fact, at one point in the night several of the bars reached capacity and had to stop letting zombies in until the undead masses shifted to their next destination at the top of the hour!

We have some minor tweaks already in the work for the 6th annual Philly Zombie Crawl next Easter ... but for now, all of our attention is on our 2nd annual PHILLY ZOMBIE BEACH PARTY!

Friday, June 11 @ The Trocadero!!

The 2008 Zombie Prom Countdown

2008-08-21T08:23:00.014-04:00

Hi Boils and Ghouls - -

If you went last year, you're well aware of just how much f'n fun the Philly Zombie Prom can be! This year we have added just a bit more to the mix;

We had over 600 zombies in attendance last year - to give us all some breathing room, we are opening up the Balcony Bar and seating - -and if you need help creating your zombie face, the uber talented make up artists from Terror Behind The Walls will once again be on site to transform you into your best undead beauty! Faces are $10 and up, depending on how much creative design you crave! We will have four make-up stations this year; one as soon as you enter The Troc and three more upstairs in the Balcony Bar; and while you wait for your ghoulish turn in the chair, the bar will be open to whet your whistle and DJ Kiltboy will be spinning tunes from the dark side!

Also, the Balcony seating will be open all night - 'cause what's a prom without a dark spot for those impromptu make-out sessions, right?!

Downstairs our trusty Prom Photographer Spark will once again be taking your official prom photos (for free!) - which will then be posted on this site for viewing and downloading. Also our official Philly Zombie Crawl Photographer Diable will be on site doing his black magic through the night ... additionally, expect other media in the house - so be sure to look your best!

Both DJ Robert Drake and Dave Ghoul will spin evil musical madness from 8-10pm followed by a live performance from Live Not On Evil and then The Young Werewolves... expect two blistering sets rock and roll!

A new addition is one that we're quite excited about, but first some back story:

When we created the Philly Zombie Prom, our hope was to bring together all the various Halloween elements in Philadelphia under one communal roof to celebrate the beginning of the Halloween Season (which by most standards is October 1st).

This year we are humbled to have Mr. Halloween himself - Henri David - join us on the main stage to strike the gong and officially welcome the Halloween Season to Philadelphia. Like Santa arriving in the Thanksgiving Day Parade, this hopes to become a true Philadelphia Halloween tradition - so don't miss it!!

At midnight Philly Zombie Prom co-hostess Melissa Torre will join us to crown the Zombie King and Queen of Philadelphia - as well as announce the costume winners - then it's dancing until closing!

Philly Zombies Unite Tonite!!

This was posted on our My Space page as a comment from http://505nation.com - it was soooo good, I wanted to share it here!

"At the end of winter, the Zombie Jesus wakes up and comes out of his cave. If he doesn't see his shadow, he knows that spring has arrived. But Zombie Jesus must eat, and he loves the little children. So he scatters chocolate eggs as bait, in the woods, in gardens, and even in our living room. Go ahead and get the eggs, but be careful of the ones in out-of-the-way places. Zombie Jesus may be waiting there, ready to pounce. But the good news is, he only takes one child back to his cave to eat each year, and once he's done this, fertility returns to the land and all the grown-ups can have sex again. And that's why we kill and eat a rabbit to celebrate Easter: to thank God that we didn't have to sacrifice our only son to pay for our sins."

Dave Ghoul Will have to Miss the Crawl

2007-04-05T12:17:00.000-04:00

Sadly I have to announce that I will not be able to participate this year with the Philly Zombie Crawl. Steph, my wife, received news that a member of her family passed away and that services will be held this weekend in Indiana. And as much as I will miss shambling down South Street with all of you brain-loving zombies I really need to be there for Steph.

I hope all of you boils and ghouls have a flesh-eating-fun-time on Easter night and I look forward to hearing that you all scare the hell out of the townsfolk.

Have a brain-eating good time my fellow Undead!

Dave Ghoul

New Site Design

2007-03-13T10:10:00.000-04:00

We decided that the Philly Zombie Crawl website needed a redesign. So we had Dave sit down yesterday and whip a little someth'n-someth'n up. It'll give us a lot more room to build the site to something a little more interactive in the near future.

Take a look-see around and enjoy.

The Countdown Begins...

2007-02-10T13:48:00.000-05:00

We're just two months away from the 2nd annual Philly Zombie Crawl event and excitement is in the air!

As you know, the Philly Zombie Crawl began last Easter and one of the missions was to bring creative performance art and fun back to South Street! What better way to do that then with a night of zombies on Easter!

Sadly, over the past year, South Street's musical landscape has changed and at the moment there are no live music venues left to host a live musical element for this year's crawl ... we tried the TLA, but thanks to the higher-ups in corporate relations, the idea was shot down due to possible liability issues.

So - we move forward.

This Easter's crawl will be dedicated to the love of zombies! But have no fear - Philly Zombie Crawl is already working on a big live music event for fall ... so we'll have our brains and eat it too!!

See you soon!!

Photos Now Up / PZC Merchandise!

Brain Blowin' Blast!

2006-04-18T12:11:00.000-04:00

Over 120 Zombies came crawling tonight for the first annual Philly Zombie Crawl!!!!

The response was OVERWHELMING!! Special thanks to the crew at Tattooed Mom for their constant support to make this event happen, and to The Young Werewolves for their rockin' live set at Abilene's and for DJ Ian Saint Laurent and DJ John Redden at North Bar for their incredible zombie-set of music and of course to Psydde Delicious and the undead Zombie Go-Go dancers at Fluid's Fast Cheap & Out of Control!!

This event was just incredible and pictures were shot -- give us a few days and an extensive online gallery will be up on our site: under PHOTOS!

The Philly Zombie Crawl is officially an Easter Night tradition ... but have no fear - you don't have to wait until next year! We're going to do another Philly Zombie Crawl this October. Keep us as your friend on My Space, and keep checking this website!

and... from Melissa, Dave and Robert ... THANK YOU!

The Rumble Underground

Don't forget that we'll be awarding prizes during the Philly Zombie Crawl ... at the stroke of midnight ... to some of the best Zombie costumes of the evening.
