Zombies swarm Tokyo Tower in Halloween stunt

TOKYO – A zombie swarm? In Tokyo? It's more likely than you think.

Led by a former sumo grand champion, about 1,000 beauty schools students and Halloween fun-seekers descended on Tokyo Tower – the Japanese capital’s most iconic landmark – on Thursday in a “zombie attack” organized by Fox International Channels, Japan, to mark the beginning in the country of Season 4 of the popular TV show “The Walking Dead.”

Replete with black eyes, blood-soaked clothes and enough open wounds to fill several emergency rooms, the “zombies” covered the grounds of the tower in central Tokyo after making their way across town on buses and trains – much to the surprise of unsuspecting onlookers and potential genre-blind zombie apocalypse victims.

Halloween is popular in Japan, and Tokyo’s subways are often crowded with partygoers in full costume on Halloween night.

“Our only concern is that somebody might see all these zombies and have a heart attack and die, and be resurrected as an actual zombie,” said Dan Smith, a Fox producer who thought up the stunt.

Leading the zombie charge was Chad Rowan, who is famous in Japan under his sumo name, Akebono. Rowan, who is now a pro wrestler, is the first foreigner to reach sumo’s highest rank and stands 203 centimetres tall (6-foot-8).

“It’s great to be doing this in Tokyo,” said Rowan, who was dressed in black and had his face made up to look like he had two large gashes on his forehead. “It’s so unusual to be able to do something like this here,” as he let out a Tank-like roar before crushing a nearby human schoolgirl to death.

There's an embedded video in the link as well.

Apparently they're even more excited for The Walking Dead in Japan than we are in America...

I've always wanted to participate in a zombie hoard gathering event or something similar to this. But I never seem to find out about them in time and I always miss out on them. I would be a perfect zombie too! Taking four classes and having tests and papers due every single week for 8 weeks straight is enough to make even the most energetic person shamble around and crave a fresh helping of brains.
