Long Beach’s largest annual Halloween event, the Long Beach Zombie Walk Festival, makes its return to the streets of Downtown Long Beach starting at 2 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 26, for a full day of music, film, and ghoulish fun. This year’s event returns to the streets of Downtown Long Beach, and will close down Pine Avenue and The Promenade between Broadway and 3rd Street with a menagerie of zombie activities. Ghouls and gals can rock out to popular metal/mariachi band Metalachi, flashback with legendary Los Angeles bands The Dickies and Haunted Garage, and enjoy over a dozen local rock acts. Film-loving zombies can settle onto the grass at Promenade Square Park for a double-feature screening of the George A. Romero classics “Night of the Living Dead” (1968) and “Dawn of the Dead” (1978). Plus meet a collective of zombie-apocalypse authors, as author David P. Forsyth brings his annual convention of horror scribes ApocaCon to the festival. And cheer along for your favorite zombie wrestler as Vendetta Pro Wrestling presents five bouts of Zombie Lucha Libre. More information may be found at zombiewalklb.com.
