The Undead Invade Downtown Phoenix's Warehouse District for Zombie Walk 8

Dunno if you heard, but a major infestation of the living dead took place on Saturday, October 29, in downtown Phoenix. Before you start stocking up on ammo, however, it should be noted that it was all a part of the fun of Zombie Walk 8, the latest edition of the annual Halloween event where thousands of Valley residents dress up like the undead and stagger through the streets. This year, participants headed through a new route that took them through the warehouse district and the southern portion of downtown, stumbling and groaning all the way.
