Thousands, dressed in zombie attires, walked the roads of Absury Park, New Jersey to celebrate the 7th Annual Zombie Walk on Saturday.

Zombie Walk is basically a public gathering, in which people dress up in zombie costumes, for entertainment or for charity.

The event witnessed 9,592 walking dead last year, making their place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest gathering of zombies in the world.

Apart from the entertainment angle, the world is apparently facing a 'real' zombie situation. The Ebola zombie stories went viral all over the internet last week, raising fears all over the world.

The real zombies are scary but the event in the US is not just for fun. This year, participants helped for the cause of brain cancer in children.
