ZOMBIES: Put on your make-up and rip off your clothes—it’s the 2008 Toronto Zombie Walk! Sponsored by the concurrent Toronto After Dark Film Festival, the walk will stumble out of Trinity-Bellwoods Park, shuffle along Queen Street to Bathurst Street, and heave up to Bloor Street, finishing in the alley behind the Bloor Cinema. Zombies will receive a discount for tonight’s festival screenings. Brain-eating mayhem continues at the Annex Wreckroom for the Zombie Walk Afterparty, featuring Misfits tribute band The Skulls, with guests The Rock Ons and The Von Drats. (No cover, but donations toward next year’s street permit gratefully accepted.) Zombie participants should meet in the pit of despair at the Dundas Street end of the park. Trinity-Bellwoods Park, 3 p.m., FREE.

Torontoist is one of fourteen cities in the worldwide Gothamist network. Once a week, the editors of each site—from LAist to Londonist—compile some of their most interesting posts into a brief blurb. It's Elsewhere In The Ist-A-Verse, and it appears, across the network, every Sunday.

Each week, Torontoist shows off the most interesting, creative, and cool submissions to our Torontoist Flickr Pool. We're especially partial to photos that show our city in a new light, highlight a recent event, and remind us why we live here.

The -ists this week had politics on the brain. And what goes better with politics? Partying-- that's two great tastes in one. Oh, and Kevin Federline...can't forget about Kevin Federline. That's three great tastes in one.

Halloween is Tuesday, which means this weekend is really the time for all of the –ists to celebrate. And whether they’re designing super-spooky costumes or talking about the super-spooky upcoming elections, we’d say that they’re doing a fine job of it.

But all agreed one thing: "Liberals, we need to get back to power as soon as possible."

SFist commeters pose for before and aftershocks when the mayor commemorates a 1906 earthquake...at 4:30 in the morning. A hot tip on the Chronicle vending machines comes in and the SFist war correspondent risks life and limb to post this dispatch from the frontlines.

God, fame, escaping prejudice, qualifying for the Francophone Games/Jeux de la Francophonie: All valid reasons for running in this Sunday's Toronto Waterfront Marathon.
