21 gruesome photos of Vancouver's Zombie Walk 2016

If you were in the vicinity of downtown Vancouver at all on Saturday, you might have noticed something ghoulish.

Something terrifying, even.

The city’s annual Zombie Walk took place that day, which saw thousands of people marching along Robson Street dressed in their creepiest costumes. Fake blood, torn “skin,” and ragged clothes donned by participants turned Vancouver into a scene straight out of The Walking Dead.

The terrifying posse made their way from the Vancouver Art Gallery along Robson Street to Denman Street up to English Bay, frightening passersby in the process (and making others smile).

In case you missed out on the scary action, here are 21 photos of Vancouver’s Zombie Walk 2016.

Each moment here is too special,seriously the happiness is in little things 🤗 #zombiewalk2016
