MEXICO CITY — Thousands of self-proclaimed “undead” gathered Saturday in the historic center of Mexico’s capital for a “Zombie Walk” that organizers hoped would set a world record.
The announced 9,860 registered participants were dressed in rags and ghoulish makeup to look bloody and decaying. Organizer Pablo Guisa said the fifth annual Mexico City event is meant to celebrate diversity and human rights.
Guinness World Records currently recognizes Asbury Park, N.J, as the record holder, with 4,093 participants on Oct. 30, 2010. Organizers of Denver’s crawl this year claimed more than 12,000 zombies attended but did not seek Guinness certification.
