\nWeird Wednesdays on Urban Planet takes a look at obscure, absurd, and curious things about cities around the world.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s becoming clear that the Zombies Apocalypse scene has begun to… ahem, rise out of it’s cult roots and challenge vampires as the monster-du-jour of pop culture. In the recent years, the zombie hordes have broken out of the confines of B-movies and video games and into successful comics, tv shows, books, and even classic literature<\/a>. Beyond that, there’s a huge movement in more local, community-based events and projects like zombie walks<\/a> or ZED.TO<\/a>, which add a whole new level of participation outside of media consumption.<\/p>\n

…And if you really want to live out your dreams (nightmares?) as a Z-day survivor,\u00a0 you can head to England where, for under $200, you can have your own Dawn of the Dead<\/em> experience.<\/p>\n
