DEAD COME TO LIFE AT SURFERS

- ANDREW POTTS andrew.potts@news.com.au

THE walking dead will come alive in the streets of Surfers Paradise next month as part of a three-day celebratio­n of zombies.

The Glitter Strip’s inaugural ‘Fest-Evil’ will be held from October 26-28 and will be headlined by the Surfers Paradise Zombie Walk.

The event raises funds for the Brain Foundation charity which raises money for research into neurologic­al disorders, brain disease and injures.

Family friendly events held during the festival include performanc­es of Michael Jackson’s iconic 1983 zombiethem­ed hit Thriller and an ‘ooky spooky’ children’s magic show.

Halloween-style markets selling costumes and make-up for the zombie walk will be held nightly across the weekend until 9pm.

A series of free events will be held across the Surfers Paradise precinct, featuring fire eating, angle grinding and a live performanc­e, called the Voodoo Revue.
