Urban Planner: July 18, 2009

Urban Planner is Torontoist's daily guide to what's on in Toronto, published every morning. If you have an event you'd like considered, email all of its details—as well as images, if you've got any—to events@torontoist.com.

With the final film line-up announced and special guests already booking flights to Toronto (legendary horror dude Uwe Boll! Direct from Germany!), the acclaimed Toronto After Dark Film Festival is set to play out its second year. Starting tomorrow night through to the 25th, the Bloor Cinema will play host to over 50 new independent and international horror/sci-fi/fantasy/action/animation and generally offbeat works from across North America, Europe and Asia.

Toronto's annual Zombie Walk is today, and in case you're wondering, the event is rain or shine: "Rain has not been known to kill zombies, and their motor functions are usually good enough to hold an umbrella. The Undead will Spread come rain or shine." Torontoist wants to remind you of the hilarity last year when the horde of brains-hungry zombies crashed an anti-violence rally at Dundas Square and the DJ dropped "Thriller".

The all day drizzle didn't faze the hundred or so zombies who came out to take part in the Toronto Zombie Walk yesterday. The makeup and costumes were great, the range of zombieness on display quite impressive. There were granny zombies, stewardess zombies and even a santa zombie. The Toronto Photography Meetup Group was out in full force and looked to be taking some awesome pictures of the exceedingly well made-up crowd.
