UNDEAD: Just when we thought it was safe to walk the streets again, hordes of zombies rise from the dead for the 2009 Toronto Zombie Walk. Would-be corpses do the zombie shuffle from the pit of Trinity-Bellwoods park, east along Dundas, through Kensington Market, and up through the bowels of the Annex to Bloor and Bathurst streets. The Bloor Cinema hosts an accompanying "Cinema of the Dead" double bill (Zombie and Night of the Comet) following the brains-seeking mob's arrival, while Sneaky Dee’s hosts the Official Toronto Zombie Walk After Party, starring The Rock Ons. Trinity-Bellwoods Park, Saturday 3 p.m., FREE; Bloor Cinema (506 Bloor Street West), Saturday 7 p.m., $16 (zombies) or $20 (living).

CRAFTS: On October 24, Clay & Paper Theatre's 10th Annual Night of Dread parade will take place at Dufferin Grove Park, drawing inspiration from the various festivals of death and remembrance observed in different cultures around the world (think Mexican Day of The Dead mixed with fire spinners). In preparation for the Night of Dread parade, a series of drop-in workshops will be held at the Dufferin Clubhouse starting today. As a volunteer you'll be helping the Clay & Paper Theatre create the monstrous costumes that you and other revellers can don come October 24. You can use your imagination when creating the creatures that most strike fear into your heart, but just so you know, Stephen Harper has been done before. Dufferin Clubhouse (875 Dufferin Street), 12–8 p.m., FREE.
