New Plymouth was invaded by the undead on Saturday.
Zombies Michaela Stoneman, Miranda Smith, Rachel Brown, Willow Rahui-Brown, Duncan Carter and Rachel Edwards led a pack of about 50 undead along the Coastal Walkway on Saturday evening.
The New Plymouth Zombie Walk was organised by 14-year-old Felix "Feeding Frenzy" Griffin who, quite ingeniously for a zombie, set up a Facebook page to encourage the city's flesh eaters out of the shadows.
Though most of the zombies were well fed and thereby not interested in eating innocent walkway users, several children let out a few anxious tears anyway.
Mr Griffin believed the walk was successful enough to do again.
"I'm planning on making it an annual event," he said before extending his arms to the front and shuffling away.Remember, just because Davros is dead doesn't mean the Dalek menace has been contained ......

An Australian publisher has had to pulp and reprint a cookbook after one recipe listed "salt and freshly ground black people" instead of black pepper.
Penguin Group Australia had to reprint 7,000 copies of Pasta Bible last week, the Sydney Morning Herald has reported.
The reprint cost A$20,000 ($18,000; £12,000), but stock in bookshops will not be recalled as it is "extremely hard" to do so, Penguin said.Remember, just because Davros is dead doesn't mean the Dalek menace has been contained ......

Odd relative or crack? Did you know any raggedy Doctors when you were young? (Ravishing Nursies would probably been more to your taste, mind...)

Low Flying Display Prompts Airline Arrest!
A University of New Mexico football player was hauled off a US Airways flight last week after refusing to hitch up his sagging pants.
San Francisco native DeShon Marman, 20, hoped to fly from his home city to Phoenix with his kecks at half-mast, but cabin crew objected to his low flying. When he declined to pull up his trousers, the aircraft's captain called in cops who cuffed him for tresspassing.
Marman then added a charge of resisting arrest to his rap sheet when he allegedly got into a "fracas" with an officer in the airport terminal.
San Mateo County chief deputy district attorney Karen Guidotti explained to Reuters: "The attention was brought to him because his pants were so low that his genitals were almost showing."
US Airways spokesman Andrew Christie said: "US Airways does not have a specific dress code, but we do ask that our passengers dress in an appropriate manner to ensure the safety and comfort of all of our passengers."
Marman's arraignment has been scheduled for 18 July, and he secured his release from jail last Thursday by posting $10,000 bail.
US Airlines appears to have joined Fort Worth in the crusade against sagging. The Texan city recently banned the practice on its buses under the slogan: "Pull 'em up or find another ride."
Down in Memphis, though, they prefer more drastic measures. Last October, one citizen became so outraged by a couple of low-riders that, having failed to persuade them to dress in a manner appropriate for Tennessee, shot one in the backside with a semi-automatic pistol.
