ZPC 2009 FAQ
1. What should I wear to the Zombie Pub Crawl?
Consult our Costumes page for ideas for the ultimate zombie costume. Make sure its nothing you want to wear again, it will get filthy, bloody, and delightfully brainsy.

Not exactly the same this year. Still in Andersonville, but more bars this year and a rotation system that will get you to all the bars and not have to fight for drinks.

The Zombie Pub Crawl is $15 if you pre-register, and $20 on the day of, which includes a t-shirt, a zombie makeup kit, 2 free tickets to any pH show, and keepsake mug that you will need to take to all the bars. In addition, you will need money for as much beer or drinks as you want at each bar. (It is pay per drink, but we have amazing specials).

Yes, it is included in your registration fee of $15 or $20. If you want additional t-shirts they are $10. Available while supplies last. Also we have a limited number of shirts from last years Crawl that will be available for $5.
5. What are the hours of the Crawl?
We aren't your zombie mothers so we can't tell you when to go home, we suppose once you are full on human brains. However, the official hours for the crawl are 3PM-8PM. Still early enough to take off your zombie makeup and go cause some real trouble.
6. Can I bring kids, is it a family event?
No. There is no such thing as zombie children, no matter how much you argue. Its just gross.

See our Tips & Tricks section, its a good primer.

No. Sorry, but there will be zombie drink specials!
10. Do I have to dress up?
You will need to have some assemblance of zombification to participate, we will have expert makeup artists there that can add a little blood and flesh to your face if that's all you want to do, but only zombies, and only zombies that register will get to take part in the crawl and more importantly the specials.
11. What bars are we going to?
So far the bars on the crawl are Simon's Tavern, Charlie's Ale House and Hamburger Mary's - we will be adding 3 more bars this year so please check back often. Also you are free to go to whatever bar you want dressed as a zombie, they just won't understand you or give you specials.
12. Where can I get zombie makeup and supplies?
There are several costume shops in Chicago that will be able to help. Chicago Costume on Fullerton and Fantasy Costumes. We are currentlly trying to work out a deal with both places to get you all discounts on zombie supplies and for sure a discount coupon to those who pre-register.
