Photo by christine mullen photography from the Torontoist Flickr Pool. For horrific undead humans who are sustained only by feeding on our flesh, zombies are surprisingly well-liked. Witness, for instance, Sunday's fifth annual Toronto Zombie Walk, which took zombies on an hour-and-a-half-long lurch from Trinity-Bellwoods up to the Bloor Cinema for the After Dark Film Festival. Braver souls than us were there to take photos, and, as usual, some great shots were submitted to......

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. Aside from director Boll, who......

It looks like this Halloween is going to be very zombie-filled in Toronto. On Sunday, we had Toronto's Annual Zombie Walk. And this Sunday, October 29th, at the Harbourfront Community Centre, a group of some 200 Torontonians will be setting the Guiness World Record for the Largest Performance of "Thriller" - in full zombie ensemble. And they want you to participate. Here's the rundown: Everyone welcome! We'll teach you the dance! Sunday, October 29,......

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". Toronto......

Goodness! This is a week stuffed with festivals (and, surprisingly, interesting general releases), and frankly, it’s time to pick sides. And when the option is facing off against zombies, psychopaths and ninjas or siding with them, why on earth would you choose anything else? Yes, tonight is the opening night gala of the inaugural Toronto After Dark Film Festival, the first real genre film fest that Toronto has had in a while (well, outside of......

Given the variety of costumes we witnessed at the World RPS Championships this weekend and Sunday's Zombie Walk, it seems that Torontonians are hip to celebrating Hallowe'en all week. We can't possibly beat a band of 100 zombies marching across the city, so we're joining 'em by bringing the Ist List back from the dead. All week we'll be sharing our favourite stories about local ghosties. This one is gloriously fangorious, and was brought......

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. Also, zombies......

Maybe it's the alarming nearness of Hallowe'en (for which we still don't have an awesome enough costume idea), but Torontoist has had zombies on the brain lately (though, thankfully, not literally - our brains seem to be as intact and uneaten as ever). Last week we read Kelly Link's brilliant new book of short stories, Magic for Beginners (if you don't know what we're talking about, we strongly urge you to check it out......
