At least 183 ZOMBIES (& 2 zombie dogs!) WALKED (178 of whom were officially registered for the Guinness Book)
Walkers, spectators and photographers managed to bring in over TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS and HUNDREDS of pounds of food!
WOW!
(we'll announce the exact amounts
when Gleaners lets us know!)
We can't thank everyone enough-
especiallyAmanda Hopkins! She was the winner of the GRAND PRIZE for most pledges, bringing in a stunning$542.25 in cash & checks for Gleaners! Way to GO, Amanda!!
Other fun prizes were to be won by random walkers, like more gift certificates from Mother Fletcher's and The Record Collector, prize packs from Detroit Comics & American Pop, a few REALLY kick ass zombie posters from Zombie Reporting Center (and a T-shirt, too!), hats, T-Shirts & posters from Left 4 Dead, & zombie button packs & jugs of blood from ZWD. Along with our grand prize winner Amanda- another lucky winner also won a walk-on spot on Nightmare Sinema!

Huge thanks! Wolfman Mac of Nightmare Sinema& Tracey of Detroit.MetroMix, thanks for being our weird and wonderful witnesses for the Guinness Book entry!
Viscera-filled victory to Sarah & Lisa for rockin' the registration table & doing the math on those many pledge sheets!!
Kreepy kudos to Chris for frightful filming and photography!!
We'd like to thank our main sponsors again. Without them, why... we likely wouldn't have posters. Or fliers. Or prizes.
Yep! We'd pretty much be miserable. So go in and give them the business! Or rather- give them SOME business. Woo! Click 'em for more info.
SUCCESS! On May 31, 2008, Greektown was, quite literally, turned into Shriektown. Congrats to all who made it happen. Our deepest thanks to you! The horn player and Bucket Head -CLICK HERE-for full event details!
