The Jack Daniel’s SITGES Zombie Walk 2011 will be held on October 14th, beginning at 20:30h at the Miramar Building (*), with the participation of the stars of the movie Juan de los Muertos for the starting signal, and will travel around Sitges until finishing at the Passeig de la Ribera promenade. Check out the rather humorous Video for the event below.
Following the Zombie Walk there will be a free party on the beach (starting at 22:00 on the Passeig de la Ribera promenade) with performances by Los Tiki Phantoms, presented by the FIB (Benicássim International Festival) and DJ Niño (The Pinker Tones). The party will continue on 2 de Mayo Street, with the participation of the local bars and clubs and Jack Daniel’s.
And for the bigger film lovers, a new La Noche + Zombie Marathon at the Retiro Cinema starting at 1:00 at night with titles like DeadHeads, World of the Dead: The Zombie Diaries or Exit Humanity, among others.
* Starting at 12:00 noon there will be a free make-up zone set up in the Miramar Building (limited seats).
You can check out photos from previous Zombie Walks below.
This year’s annual Sitges Film Festival takes place over 10 days, from the 7th to the 17th of October. We were give a sneak peak at some of the best movies that are going to be on show and the line up is as impressive as ever.
So if you want to catch a movie that won’t be in the European Cinemas for a while.. then the Sitges Film Festival is the pace to be this October. Here are some of our favourites! Films are shown in various locations throughout Sitges.
Super 8
This Sci-fi movie is a collaboration between Stephen Spielberg and J.J. Abram. Definitely one of the highlights for 2011!
Vanishing On 7th Street Trailer
Some eye-candy with Hayden Christensen…. where everyone disappears!
The Perfect Host
Definitely one of the quirkiest movies…. we just love the line “You can’t kill me, I’m having a dinner party!”
Let Me In
It would not be a film festival if you didn’t have a Vampire movie..this one is quite creepy.. Vampire Children!
Monsters
In Monsters, Mexico will never look the same again.
With over 100 movies showing ranging from Japanese Magna to Swedish Thrillers, Sitges Film Festival will not disappoint those seeking something different to watch this October.

This weekend is set to be a busy one in Sitges with the closing of the film festival and of course the Zombie Walk which was a huge success last year.
This years event will be televised live on Spanish TV. The event kicks off at 8pm from the Miramar building in the old town behind the church and makes its way through the town to the beach at La Fragata. A Special Haunted Castle has been built to house the Zombies!
If you want to get made-up as a zombie, then you can..for free! The make up is amazing and most of you wont recognise yourself afterwards! So you can get away with anything!!! The queue is going to be long and kicks off at 12pm.
The zombies will then have their annual Zombie Beach Party until 2am which is free for everyone to attend with guest DJs and ghoulish music all night! Enjoy.
