On Saturday, a whole bunch of zombies will be coming out in broad daylight for the fifth annual Zombie Walk to benefit Harvest for Hunger.
Registration and pre-party start at noon at the 5 O’Clock Lounge in Lakewood. The zombies hit the streets at 3 p.m.
The event was launched in 2007 by Cleveland horror-film producers Old School Sinema, with about 75 would-be zombies turning out. Last September’s outing attracted hundreds.
Walkers can do their own scary makeup, or they can show up before 1:30 p.m. and have it done by a professional for a fee.
After scaring Lakewood pedestrians for a few hours with their wounds and peeling faces, the crew returns to the 5 O’Clock for a party with live music by Stud Bulls Disco Biscuit.
Cost for the event is $5 plus two canned food items. —Anastasia Pantsios

It was *not* started by Old School Sinema. They were originally asked to help promote the event, and since then they’ve taken it over without the consent or involvement of the original event’s organizers.
