The rain clouds did not deter the Zombies from taking over Sitges this weekend!

Here are some hints so that you ensure you are a good and proper Zombie!
1. Remember you’re not alive, so your gaunt appearance has to show it.
2. Walk like a real zombie, dragging your feet and searching for brains.
3. The starting signal will be at 20:30; take your position with the rest of the zombies and follow the guides. Don’t go off course, you’ll find there’s a big party all along the way.
3. If you come un-zombified, head for the free makeup zone starting at 12:00 at Sant Sebastià Beach.
4. Come see the zombie movies at Sitges 2012 to learn the good manners of the undead.
