A Zombie's Guide to Style

So you'd like to get in touch with your inner zombie this weekend and do the Boston Zombie March from Davis Square to The Cellar. But, if you are a zombie novice, whatever shall you wear?

Bostonist e-mailed the crew at Halfway to Human, and part-time human Jesse Hirsch gave a few practical and stylish tips. Hirsch has some basic words of advice: "Searching for a zombie costume can be pretty easy, you just come up with a regular Halloween idea, then up the ante by covering yourself in blood and open sores."

Hirsch, who was a zombie gondolier last year, also recommends the ultimate zombie must-have: "One of the best homebrewed techniques is corn syrup and red food coloring, which is particularly foul and realistic-looking. And delicious!"

Hirsch described some of the possible reactions you'll get if you zombie yourself up right, such as this instance from last year: "As we crossed an intersection near Harvard, a car squealed up and some guy handed me a CD of his band playing spooky 'surfer zombie' tunes."

Don't forget! The march starts this Saturday at Davis Square at 6:30 pm! Bring the corn syrup!
