Zombies are hot in the last few years (Walking Dead, Zombieland, World War Z, Shaun of the Dead) and Des Moines has made itself Zombie Capital.

All this I am ok with, spending most of my life hanging out with George Romero fans, though I am afraid things are going to be overdone.

I am still likely to love the slow-moving guys after they jump the shark, but fun stories like the Missouri Department of Conservation's Zombie Warning don't amuse me like they used to.

Still, Des Moines has got a lot of mileage out of Zombies - Home of the unique Zombie-themed restaurant Zombie Burger and the charity fundraiser The Zombie Walk.

Last week, West Des Moines hosted the Zombie Prom.

The Zombie Prom featured Tyler Mane (who played Michael Myers in Rob Zombie's Halloween), local rock bands (Brains Brains Brains), a walk through the local historic section of town, and a Zombie Prom King and Queen contest.

The same night, a play called Viral Marketing: A Zombie Circus also ran (the plot being something about middle management turning into zombies combined with Cirque de Soleil gymnastics).

Okay, i guess it's time I go out and add a zombie tag.
