The Top 10 necessities for Zombie Bash 2013 – What you’ll need for this weekend’s event

Halloween is quickly approaching.

In grocery stores, you’ll notice the aisles of candy, carved pumpkins and decorations. Throughout neighborhoods, houses are starting to be all dressed up for the spooky holiday.

This weekend, fans can get a start on the scares with Of Moving Colors’ Zombie Bash, a three-in-one event that starts Friday at 6:30 p.m. at Mud and Water with a 5K walk/run then finishes up with food and drink, a live performance of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” and after party performance at the venue with Caddywhompus and Moon Honey.

225 caught up with Of Moving Colors’ artistic director Garland Goodwin Wilson to talk about what patrons and participants will need to celebrate at the bash. Here’s her top 10.

1. Your Zombie Bash 2013 registration, of course.
You can register here. Registration is $20 for adults, $15 for youths 16 and younger.
2. The Walk.
The undead are uncoordinated. You’ll need to know how to lurch, tick, lumber and stumble.
3. Michael Jackson moves.
Despite claims made above, zombies have an uncanny ability to perform the “Thriller” dance at a moment’s notice. Find the movements on Of Moving Colors’ Facebook page.
4. Running shoes.
It is a 5K!
5. A deathly pallor.
Stay out all night. Skip the coffee and shower. Or if you prefer the easy way out…
6. Zombie hair and makeup treatments.
If you’re clueless, Mercer Studio will be onsite at the race to help you primp.
7. An appetite for something other than brains.
Race participants will be treated to food from VooDoo BBQ, Fresh Junkie, Brew Ha-Ha and many more.
8. Blood.
Feel free to substitute VooDoo BBQ sauce.
9. The Attire.
Coming back from the grave is messy business. Whatever your zombie-self died wearing, it should be muddy and disturbingly disheveled.
10. A king size bar of soap so you can wash it all away when you get home.
