On October 30 like in previous years, thousands of young people and not so young people from Melbourne gather to celebrate the Melbourne Zombie Shuffle.
The zombies did their shuffle on the footpaths of Melbourne, enthusiastically tackling the unfavourable weather conditions, much to the delight of the inhabitants of this city who are pretty unaccustomed to the outbreak of zombie behaviour.
Melbournians could see all types of zombies, from the living dead who simply dragged their feet while chatting with their friends to cult characters such as the Zombie Nun and hundreds of Blood Splattered Brides.
Alongside them were other characters that had never been seen before in zombie roles such as the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz, Charlie Chaplin and Superman.
Nevertheless, those in the greatest majority were the ones walking to the beat of Thriller, the official anthem of this ever growing group.
The gathering ended in the “city’s nerve centre”, Federation Square, with a protest speech whose basic points(cries for an increase in welfare allowances and subsidies for buying textbooks) were no different from speeches given in previous years.
