So we had this wacky idea...

What if a thousand zombies raided downtown Chicago? Yeah, that's what we had in mind...

Dress-up and make-up as your favorite undead and come to Chicago's first-ever zombie walk! These things have happened all over the U.S. and Canada, but never in our lovely city. We look to change that...

Saturday, June 21, 2008

Please RSVP on our Facebook event page so we have a loose idea of how many will show and can plan accordingly, and mark your calendars for the 21st of June!

We strongly encourage you to leave any suggestions or comments you may have on the boards, so we can incorporate them into our outline of the event and any subsequent meetings.

The more people the better, so invite your friends too! Invite the people you hang out with! Help us break the record of 1,125 zombies!

Lots more details to follow...

Site Glitches

Hi, Folks -

Sorry for the sitewide problems for the last week. We did some work on the server last week and it messed with several of the hosted sites (including ChicagoHorror.com); I was in Las Vegas for the TransWorld Haunt & Attractions Show all week, but now I'm back and I believe we've fixed the problems. If you experience any difficulties with this (or any other Sinister site), please email me about it at savage@sinistervisions.com !
