The undead will be taking over the Asbury Park boardwalk tonight.
The 17th annual Zombie Walk is the largest gathering of zombies you’ll find in the Garden State.
The costumes run the gamut – from zombie football players to a zombified Taylor Swift.
This is a family friendly zombie walk, without prop weapons. In the hours before the walk, there are makeup tents for those who haven’t done their own. There’s also a costume contest.
The parade begins at the Convention Hall and then down the boardwalk, onto Cookman and ends at Johnny Mac’s.
