Meet the Hamilton Zombie Walk Makeup Artists

On October 27th, Hamilton was invaded by flesh-hungry undead for the Hamilton Zombie Walk. To help bring these zombies to (un)life, Horror in the Hammer was joined by a crack team of makeup volunteers to establish a zombification station at The Central Library. 

Let's meet the team!

Horror in the Hammer at Open Streets Hamilton

On Sunday, September 23rd, Horror in the Hammer braved the cold wind and the maze of pylons erected around the Robocop shoot on James Street North to attend OPEN STREETS HAMILTON and bring an early taste of Halloween to Hamilton.

Whoooooo! Spooky stuff here.

Camped out on the sidewalk at James Street North & Colbourne, with the Robocop remake set behind us, we braced against the wind to sell cheesy horror dvds and spread the word about the upcoming 2012 Hamilton Zombie Walk. We didn't sell many Halloween treats -- I hope Hamilton's not getting too health-concious on us -- but the brisk weather probably had a hand in encouraging people to seek soup and coffee than candy and chocolate.

All in all, Open Streets Hamilton was a fun event and we got to meet some memorable characters, past zombie walkers, and introduce the event to a new crop of fresh meat.

Visit Horror in the Hammer at Open Streets Hamilton

Horror in the Hammer will be representing the horror community on James Street North for OPEN STREETS HAMILTON - Sunday, September 23rd 

Skitter, stomp, slither, or crawl on down to Open Streets Hamilton and visit with Horror in the Hammer at our table located north of James and Colbourne across the street from the Wild Orchid Restaurant. Come learn more about the 2012 Hamilton Zombie Walk and Charity Food Drive as well as our monthly Fright Night Theatre movie screenings.
