Saugerties Zombie Crawl

Footage from the First Annual Saugerties Zombie Crawl in 2010, by Zachary Coons.

The undead walk again in Saugerties, as the town plays host to a crew of shambling, rotting, groaning zombies. Tonght, October 22, is the second annual Zombie Crawl -- and this year, the event is raising proceeds for Hurricane Irene victims.

At least one thing will be live: Music. Kingston funk-rockers Voodelic will play Dave's Wine and Coffee House, and Tyrannosaurus Rocks will host "Zomstock" at the Donlon Auditorium.

Want to avoid ending up as a reanimated corpse? Head to the Village Apothecary, which will be handing out doses of zombie cure. Or if you're resigned to your fate, join the undead crew at the Partition Street Wine Shop, Main Street Restaurant or the Dutch Ale House, all of which are serving zombie-themed cocktails.

By 10pm, most of the crawling horrors will end up at the Donlon, where there will be a costume contest, presided over by last year's winner, Zombie Gaga.
