What's Boston got on this? Sad to say the city founded by Puritans has no shamble, just a pedestrian observation of Christendom's highest holiday. Zzzzzzz without suffixed "ombies" bores me to the grave. Philly takes the Thriller crown on this one.

Philly's zombie crawl scene exploded into existence last year. Then it died. And then it came back to life again. Just like Jesus. But with more brain-eating. It's shaping up to be as much of a tradition as the South Street Easter parade. Except not lame. Philadelphia Weekely - A-List, 2008
Robert Drake takes Easter morbidity to a deliciously new level with the third annual Philly Zombie Crawl.

The event was inspired by a similar event we attended, the Philly Zombie Crawl, and a love of all things undead. After the Philly Crawl I was still craving brains and did some research online.seeing that NYC did not have anything like that going on (and being from NY) I figured we'd get everyone to "bring out their dead"!

Did you know that on Easter Sunday hundreds of thousands of seemingly sane Philadelphians will celebrate the execution and resurrection of a zombie god king called Jesus? That's the amazing fact uncovered by the organizers of Philadelphia's first ever undead-themed pub crawl-a blasphemous conceit for which they'll surely burn in hell.

It's the morning after the Philly Zombie Crawl Zombie Prom and Joe Flyblown wakes up confused, his head throbbing something rotten. "Urgh?" He tries to draw upon the power of every brain he's ever eaten to figure whose mausoleum he's rising from the dead in. Philadelphia Weekly - A-List, 2007

Here in the US, several cities have zombie pub crawls on Easter Sunday. It's pretty self-explanatory. People dress up like zombies and stagger on their way to the next bar. The hard part is telling the actors from the drunks, since they're both seemingly in character.
