Living with the undead
This strip is brought to you from beyond the grave.
Well, not exactly. Carnforth to be precise.
I’m not home tonight so I’ve automated this post. I’m out trick-or-treating.
Well, not exactly. I’m actually going to a spooky cinema event at Carnforth train station where they will be showing an evening of short, Halloween-related films. One of which happens to be my animation ‘My Black Dog‘.
Carnforth train station is the station used in the film ‘Brief Encounters‘. Classy, eh?
So, have a happy Halloween kids , and go forth and mug people in their own homes.

Oooooh! Zombies!
I wonder if this is a tradition in other parts of the world: This last weekend I went to the Richmond Zombie Walk, where some 200 people dressed up as zombies and shambled through several miles of downtown on a busy Saturday afternoon, terrorizing innocent shop-o-holics. It was hilarious. There’s a video of part of it here, that some kid shot. I didn’t even see him. Does anywhere else have an annual zombie walk?
Also, on the zombie note, has anyone seen this movie yet? Best zombie movie ever!

Round these parts there’s been at least three in the last few months. I’ve heard of them happening recently in other places, too, and not even just around Halloween time. It’s like…THE BEST FAD EVER!
Zombies that don’t clean up
after themslves, story of my life.
Or story of your death, seraphine?
I’m not allowed to go trick or treating. it’s “licensed begging” according to the parents *rolls eyes*
never heard of a zombie walk..sounds awesome though!
Halloween is the magical day when you can demand candy from strangers and if they refuse you can egg them.
As part of my lesson about Halloween, the slideshow includes pictures of several houses which have been TP’ed. It is truly a fantastic holiday.
Zombie walks happen in Lancaster every Friday and Saturday night… at least it looks that way, what with all the blood and staggering.
It was a good night last night… plenty of begging, stealing, intimidation and casual vandalism.
It’s okay Maddie, I feel ya. When we were kids, our parents wouldn’t let us trick-or-treat because Hallowe’en was a “celebration of the Devil,” and a “heathen holiday.” My mum gave out Bible verses instead of candy.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was some way to talk sense in to a fundamentalist?
that would solve an infinite number of problems right now
dude, are australians are missing out? we dont really do the whole halloween thing. i dont know anyone thats ever gone trick or treating. is halloween really like it is on tv? that would be so cool!
Oh, you poor Australians! You guys should get together and start a trend.
(I was thinking about moving Down Under at some point, but with this new information, I might have to reconsider…)
While I must concede that the number of problems caused by fundamentalists certainly APPROACHES infinity, I doubt that the number is actually infinite.
HOW HORRIBLE THAT AUSTRALIANS DON’T HAVE HALLOWEEN!!! It is the best holiday! It’s actually the only one I don’t hate (including my own birthday)! I think this calls for one of those obnoxious all-star charity songs, to be entitled “Do They Know It’s Halloween?”.
It is up to all good Australians to save their land from a fate worse than death and begin wearing costumes and handing out candy to strangers on the last day of October!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Poor Australians!
Halloween is amazing. One of my favorite holidays. Although I really love holidays in general. But Halloween in definitely one of my favorites. And, yes, it’s basically like it is on TV. Only better. I mean, people give you free candy! And you can break out glow sticks and you get to wear a costume. Yay! =D
And I’m terribly terribly sorry, Maddie. Trick or treating is definitely one of the highlights of my year. Only this year I stayed home and did calculus instead. Yeah! But I did hand out candy to trick-or-treaters, which is also fun.
problems have a way of reproducing like viruses,
Our country is fat enough with out a day to walk around and eat candy, even tho the walking is probably good, but I doubt it sufficent to counteract the sugar.
Calculus is far more scary then any supernatural horrors.
And I am doing surveying next year.
*runs, screaming for the hills*
I don’t need to run far, I live in a mountain range.
Well, you don’t actually walk, you sprint, really. That way you get more candy. And australia can’t possibly be fatter than America.
I often hear it quoted that Australia is the second fattest nation after Canada.
But that little factoid comes from a South African family, and we all know that they cheated in the World Cup.
*stands back and watches SA friend’s head explode*
It’s raining brain candy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*runs around naked in the brain candy rain*
