PUB CRAWL FAQ
Special note: A large portion of this FAQ was borrowed from the brilliant originators of the Minneapolis Pub Crawl (zombiepubcrawl.com); they have done it bigger and better than everyone and we used their knowledge to help us. We apologize to the creators of the Minneapolis Zombie Pub Crawl for any infringement - we are just in zombie awe of your amazing event and wanted to spread it to Chitown. Midwest Zomibe Crawls unite!
1. What should I wear to the Zombie Pub Crawl?
Wear anything you want to, just not something you mind getting blood* on!!! Let's face it -- zombies are not clean people. There's a good chance you might get covered in blood or, if you're lucky, brains.
2. Will we be doing much walking?
Not really. Its all within 3 blocks of each other on Clark St. in Andersonville. If you can't go 3 blocks in 3 hours, you might already be a zombie.
3. Should I bury my clothes now and dig them up for the Zombie pub crawl?
That's a really, really good idea. Bury them, burn them, bleed in them. We don't care.
4. How much is it?
The Zombie Pub Crawl is $10 if you pre-register, and $15 on the day of, which includes a t-shirt, a zombie makeup kit, 4 free tickets to any pH show, and any other goodies we can find. 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).
5. Can I get a t-shirt?
Yes, it is included in your registration fee of $10 or $15. If you want additional t-shirts they are $10. Available while supplies last.
6. How late does the Zombie Pub Crawl go?
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 5PM-8PM. Still early enough to take off your zombie makeup and go cause some real trouble.
7. Can I bring my children?
No. There is no such thing as zombie children, no matter how much you argue.
8. What happens at 4PM?
Picking up your registration pack and the living are transformed into terrifying zombies by applying anything from make-up and fake blood* to a terrible curse of never-ending limbo.
9. How do I become a zombie?
The easiest way is to find someone who’s already a zombie and let them eat you. Short of that, you’ll have to use makeup. A little fake blood goes a long way, and it can be made at home with corn syrup (or glycerin) and food coloring. And oatmeal is the zombie’s best friend: combine it with some corn syrup for that great "rotting flesh" look. Or follow all of our MAKEUP TIPS
10. Will the Zombie Pub Crawl provide free drinks?
No. Sorry, but there will be zombie drink specials! Like $2 Rogue Dead Guy Ale at Simon's, $3 Smithicks pints at Charlie's, and a yet to be announced special at Mary's Attic.
11. What is the official Zombie Pub Crawl Cheer?
What do we want? "Brains!"
When do we want ’em? "Braaains!!!"

12. 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.
13. What bars are we going to?
The itinerary is posted here. But to refresh your rotting zombie brains: Simon's Tavern, Charlie's Ale House and Mary's Attic at Hamburger Mary's.
14. 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.
