Okay, horror buffs–of which I know there are a whole lot of you out there–I got some news here that’ll really put a punch in your morning.  This Sunday, October 11, has been oh-ficially declared World Zombie Day.

Celebrating the walking undead in all their many forms and iterations, events have already been planned at cities all around the globe, and they’ve even fastened a cause on alongside the zombie festivities: ending world hunger.

That’s right, horror fans, you’ve got yet another opportunity to do some good in the world, which is sixteen different kinds of awesome no matter how you slice it.  Hosting cities for this little zombie fracas include Detroit and Flint in Michigan (which BOTH look like they’ve had their share of zombie apocalypsia recently), as well as Jacksonville, Kansas City, London and Worchestor in Great Britain, Shreveport, Westminster, and the grandest zombie mecca known to man, Pittsburgh’s own Monroeville Mall.

If you go to one of the events, bring some nonperishable food items along for admission and such and throw in on the cause.  The world may never know the good that horror buffs do, but we’ll know, and that counts for more than you think.
