Another zombie from Beach of the Dead V, 22 October 2011. A transgender zombie. Very Brighton!
Beach of the Dead is a “zombie walk” that takes place annually in Brighton near to the time of Halloween. Inspired by the classic horror film genre (particularly the George A Romero films), participants garb themselves up as the undead and parade en masse in character from the Victoria Gardens on Grand Parade to the Concorde 2 night club on the seafront.
This year an estimated 4000 people took part in the march.

Ha! When we did our zombie walk, we ran into some cross-dressed zombies. My daughter had a hard time with it, whispering to me “those are boys day. Boys.” This guy really caked on the makeup. Good one.
Cross dressing is a common sight in Brighton; it’s a very liberal city (we have Green Party council and the only Green member of parliament in the country) and famous for its gay culture/scene (there is a large Pride parade here every August). Lot’s of hippies too and very multicultural. It makes for a fun and interesting place to live.
