"Fellow flesh-eaters of Melbourne, let's make it happen again.
The usual rules apply: dress zombie, act zombie.
Invite as many people as you can, let's get this show on the road!

ZOMBIE SHUFFLE RULES - PLEASE READ!
Because there are a number of zombie shuffle virgins this time around, there are just a few simple 'rules' that need to be obeyed so that the day can be enjoyed by all (including human bystanders) with a minimum of capsicum spray/arrests/truncheon-usage/annoying Today Tonight reports/etc. Just because you are a zombie, doesn't mean you must also be a thingyhead.
1. NO defacing public property, under any circumstances. This includes shop fronts, windows, merchandise, billboards, etc etc. Blood and guts goes on the zombies, or on a banner/sign if you want to carry one, not other people's stores, belongings or faces.
1.a. Try to stay out of shops where possible to ensure rule 1. is maintained.
1.b NO carrying weapons of any sort, particularly realistic-looking ones. Your zombieness is enough, thanks!
2. NO intentional frightening of children/the elderly/animals. Seriously.
2.a. However if you have/are a child/old person/animal who WANTS to participate, then you are welcome to!
2.b. Above all, respect the public's personal space! If you need to drip blood on someone, do it on a fellow zombie - that's what they're there for.
3. Stick to the shuffle route (Carlton Gardens > La Trobe St > Swanston > Fed Sq > Southbank > Crown riverbanks).
4. Obey the road rules! Mainly because we don't want any zombies getting killed (again) by cars/trams/etc, but also because it is hilarious to see zombies pressing crossing buttons, waiting at red lights, etc (see event photos).
5. Just in case we haven't made it abundantly clear, don't be a zombie thingyhead! Play by the rules and let everyone have a great day."
