MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Six friends spruced up in fake blood and tattered clothing were arrested in downtown Minneapolis on suspicion of toting “simulated weapons of mass destruction.”

Police said the group were allegedly carrying bags with wires sticking out, making it look like a bomb, while meandering and dancing to music as part of a “zombie dance party” Saturday night.

“They were arrested for behavior that was suspicious and disturbing,” said Lt. Gregory Reinhardt, a police spokesman. Police also said the group was uncooperative and intimidated people with their “ghoulish” makeup.

One group member said the “weapons” were actually backpacks modified to carry a homemade stereos and were jailed without reason. None of the six adults and one juvenile arrested have been charged.

“Given the circumstance of them being uncooperative … why would you have those (bags) if not to intimidate people?” said Inspector Janee Harteau. “It’s not a case of (police) overreacting.”

Harteau also said police were on high alert because they’d gotten a bulletin about men who wear clown makeup while attacking and robbing people in other states.

Kate Kibby, one of those arrested, said previous zombie dance parties at the Mall of America and on light-rail trains have occurred without incident. Last fall, nearly 200 people took part in a “zombie pub crawl” in northeast Minneapolis.

Kibby said they were cooperative and followed the two officers to the station where they were questioned and eventually loaded into a van and booked into jail.

“It was clear to us that they were trying to get a rise out of us,” KIbby said.

Members of the group could face lesser charges like disorderly conduct, police said.

Zombies at Surry Hills Film Festival!

This Saturday, Sydney flashes its creative streak with the Hopscotch Surry Hills Film Festival.

Now in its 3rd year, the city’s most eclectic collection of short films gives you two opportunities for a peek;

** ZOMBIE LURCHER’S, Free BRAINS & ( MOVIES with ZOMBIES )

Saturday 20th May, 1-4pm at the Gaelic Theatre, 64 Devonshire St. Surry Hills

When the only restriction on entries is a short time frame, the results have to be seen to be believed. This aint no Tropfest. And not just because we accept any type of film - we also judge them purely on the basis of creativity.

Our major sponsor is Hopscotch films, which makes us a bit like a martial arts tournament sponsored by Bruce Lee.

So if cutting edge cinema and ample refreshments are important to you, check the Hopscotch Surry Hills Film Festival. *

Zombie Photos + Headcount

Rachel Young — Tue, 02 May 2006 12:31:18 +0000

If you’ve uploaded photos of the lurch, please let me know so I can add it to the webpage!

If you have photos and haven’t uploaded them, I suggest http://www.flickr.com and tag ‘em all with “sydneyzombielurch”

And be sure to check out the links that are up now!
Thanks!

Also, the headcount from the largest group shot (which still cropped a few people at the sides and hid some right up the back) is 180 zombies and I know that not all of the zombies made it to the stairs so the “official” number is sitting at 200 participants.
