The Dead Walk the Earth..or at least Bardstown Road [Attractions]

Every year at 8:29 p.m. on August 29, zombies invade Bardstown Road between Eastern Parkway and Bearno's in the Highlands. People spice it up with themes for their zombie costumes including brides, hello kitty, Adam and Eve, and I even saw Darth Vader once (Not a zombie. Just Darth Vader??). The zombie walk trend is  not  unique to Louisville:  it occurs all over the world. Louisville has one of the largest events in the United States according to recorded statistics.   Louisville Zombie Attack began as a birthday celebration for three friends who share birthdays with the king of pop, Michael Jackson. Word of mouth spread, and it grew to the large event that it is today. An estimated 5,000 zombies, survivalists and victims converged on the Highlands last year, resembling an undead mardi gras. Although there was a permit in place to close the street, the amount of people left some business round of applause from the legions of undead fans. Richard Teachout of Zombie City (an attraction at Asylum Haunted Scream Park) , George Timmering, Owner of Bearno's, his manager Charlie Cronin, and Jon King (one of the friends who started the tradition) have been working for months to take necessary precautions to keep the zombie walk alive legally and safely.  8 off duty cops would need to be paid to be at the event - 4 of which will be used to direct traffic, In order to close the street, signatures would be needed from 75% of the business owners on the block. Event insurance is necessary.The street, surrounding areas, and companies would need to be pressure washed after the event.

The amount of money needed to meet these requirements easily added more than four thousand dollars and there was some initial concern about how they would be met. The zombie walk has always been more of a tradition of an event, and no people could fork over that much money. Some people have commented on their belief that the city should contribute to security of supply because it is a great event that brings people from out of state to visit Louisville.
