maggot ridden zombie

You have to love the attention to detail in this guy’s costume/make-up – disgustingly realistic maggots protrude from his bloodied and gory wounds. Funnily enough I didn’t notice them at the time of shooting, but they instantly caught my eye when I was perusing my photos at home on my monitor.

Beach of the Dead V, 22 October 2011. 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.
