PUTNAM — The 9th annual Zombie Fashion Show gave contestants and spectators the most “undead” time of their lives.
A record number of spectators watched a record number of zombies drag their “corpses” down the runway.
Jenn Brytowski, creator and producer of the Zombie Fashion Show, said there were 70 registrations which brought more than 150 zombies on the stage.
She added the crowd “was like a sea of people no matter which direction you looked from the stage.”
The winners included:
Youth: Sweet Dreams – second; Rylan Plant Monster – first.
Adult: Seraphina Spector – second; Ghouls & Tools – first.
Group: Zombie Busters- second; Recently Deceased Dunklands – first
In the Corporate Division, the Interact Disco Zombies took home the traveling trophy.
Brytowski said: “What a night. Over 150 zombies of all ages took the stage and they did not disappoint. The passion and effort each and every one puts in from their design to execution is beyond impressive. I could not be more proud of my team and the way the show has evolved. We planned for years to make it all come together seamlessly. This year was certainly the best year yet. It gave me goosebumps! It was the perfect way to kick off the fall season. Thank you to everyone for showing up and giving their all. It certainly showed.”
The Complex Performing and Creative Arts Centre opened the show with a Zombie dance routine. Music for the show was provided by Daley’s DJ Service. Sponsors included: Byrnes Agency, Lehto Design/Build, D.B.C. Construction, Lowe’s, Spicer Propane and Oil, Tom and Kyle Borner, Breezeline, Gerardi Insurance-Hilb Group, Bridge Marketing.
