14 DAY TRIAL // “Zombie Walk for Kids” charity events have spread all over the world since its inception in 2003 in Canada. Such events have been organized in England, Mexico, Australia and Japan in an attempt of helping children while having fun dressed like the walking dead.
Japan's take on the event focused on major cities like Sapporo, Osaka and Tokyo and involved children starting from the age of 3 and their family members. Professional make-up artists helped make the kids unrecognizable while the little ones got into character moaning and growling, according to RocketNews24.
Arakama Amusement Park from Tokyo saw the cutest zombie attack ever organized with little walking-dead replicas riding carousels and running around the grounds. After having their make-up done, the kids were trained to walk and act like spooky supernatural creatures that just came back from the grave to attack the joy-rides.
When they were all ready and in costumes, the photo shoot of the adorable zombies began with children posing as scary as they could. Instead of being scared by the little horror stars, visitors got their cameras and phones and started immortalizing the undead.
The zombie horde event was sponsored by the Japan Obaka Kids Association that works towards bringing joy to all the little humans. Even if in the beginning the kids were a bit confused by everything that was happening, once they got the taste of it, they couldn't stop impersonating the now famous horror stars.
Zombie-themed events and parties have taken over the world; from college parties to charity balls, the undead seem to be a certain attraction. LAPD actually used them in their latest awareness campaign, employing the iPad-stealing walking dead characters to make citizens lock their cars. LA's police department video was a hit, going viral in just a few days after being released and amusing viewers with zombie-fighting officers.
