Toronto's Zombie Walk was first held in October 2003, organized by local horror movie fan, Thea Munster. Six zombies showed up.
One of those first participants in the Toronto Zombie Walk, Heather McDermid, moved to Vancouver, B.C. and spread the zombie walk there.
According to Toronto Police Service, the 2007 Toronto Zombie Walk drew a crowd of over 1,100 zombies. At the time, this was the largest zombie walk on record.
In 2011, an estimated 6,000 Zombies took to the streets of Toronto. The Toronto Underground Cinema which was along the Zombie Walk route, played a double bill of Horror Flicks as part of the Toronto After Dark Film Festival. Before this year's walk began, a couple of Costumed and maked-up Zombies tied the knot and got married for real in a Wedding Scaremony.
