What started as a gathering of 80-100 zombie-philes in 2005 has grown to an event that brings in about 30,000 people.

Costumes ranged from the zombie cast of Scooby-Doo to zombie Pocahontas. There was even a man dressed as Jesus Christ - "the original zombie," he told people on the street.

Billed as the 'largest Zombie gathering on earth," the crawl this year took over two locations and participants could hop back and forth via a shuttle.
