No, it’s not an official city government recognition of the contributions of the Undead to society, though we’re hoping that will come soon. Rather, it’s a day of Zombie Friendly events in and around the good old Portage Theatre, brought to you by the Chicago Horror Film Festival.

There’s going to be a Zombie Walk/Solidarity March, a Zombie Dance event, even a Zombie Pinup Contest, with Zombie Rights supporters from the Horror Society among the judges. We here at the ZRC trust that this will prevent any exploitation of the Undead, and allow everyone, living and dead, to have a good time.

Sadly, the ZRC cannot attend the Pinup contest at least, due to a prior engagement. We may be able to drop in a bit earlier in the day for the Walk, depending on the schedule; it’s up in the air a bit at the moment. We’re pleased however to see Chicago continue to develop its positive relationship with the Differently Animated community.

It’s nice living so close to such an enlightened urban population. Today, Zombie Pinup Contest. Tomorrow, who knows?
