Louisville Zombie Walk 2016

I am the makeup and special effects manager at The Devil's Attic haunted house in Louisville, KY. ThIS year we host the 2016 Louisville Zombie Walk. My makeup team (Team Demon Fabulous) and I set up at Highland Taproom which was ground zero for the the Zombie party. We were doing zombie makeup for an extremely reasonable price. With and estimated 42,000 people in attendance we were quite busy. 

The amazing Jacob Roberts set up next to us and took zombie portraits of some of the makeups we were doing. it was fantastic to have him involved and the images he captured are so cool. This is one of the images.

The Touch

Love is closely entangled with pain. When you love someone you let them touch part of your heart. When that love is betrayed that touch that was once beautiful and comforting quickly leaves that spot tainted. The part of your heart you thought you could trust is poisoned.

The question is if you can move past that do you try again? You can guard yourself and never let anyone get close again. That or you can learn to trust someone and risk the pain all over again. More times than not, pain is the price we pay for Love.

Louisville Zombie Walk

The Louisville Zombie Attack, now Louisville Zombie Walk (louisvillezombiewalk.com) started in 2005, and without it I don't know if I would have ever found my way to makeup as stated in my "about" page. My first year was back in 2006 when we had maybe 120 people attend. With an estimated 40,000 people in attendance last year the growth of this event is staggering.

This year founder Lyndi Lou has handed over the reigns to the Devil's Attic Haunted Attraction (http://thedevilsattic.com) where I am the Makeup SPFX manager. Having been a coordinator with Lyndi in the past I couldn't be more proud that she has entrusted us with her baby. That's not the only change to the walk this year. instead of the walk always being on the 29th which would be a monday this year we will be holding it on the 27th which is a Saturday. 

My team from the Devil's Attic also known as "Team Demon Fabulous" will be set up at the Highland Taproom doing makeup for the public. I will have more information on pricing and schedule later so stay tuned. For this to come full circle is very exciting for me. Our goal is to remain true to the spirit of the event and make Lyndi Lou proud.
