“Each zombie must pick up their own parade key, and only one parade key will be given to each zombie.”
“Zombies are responsible for their own costuming… Zombies were once like you and me. Except they died. Some died quite a long time ago. Some died over night. We suggest you get CSI and reconstruct the crime scene…consider your character and why you are dead. What’s your story? What’s your motivation? What were the clothes you were buried in? How shallow was your grave?”
