Zombies to invade Astoria for Thanksgiving festivities
By Bill Parry

People in Astoria might think The Walking Dead is filming at Kaufman Astoria Studios Saturday because the Cultural Campus will be overrun by zombies. The third-annual Queens Thanksgiving Zombie Walk gets underway at Applebee’s, at 38-01 35th Ave around 2:30 p.m.

“Last year they had over 200 take part,” Applebee’s manager Eric Borum said. “They start here with makeup and drink specials, then they’ll wander the streets for a mile or so.”

Five bands, including Another Dead Clown, are booked for an after-party at Hells Gate Tiki, at 12-21 Astoria Blvd., that is slated to start at 6:30 p.m. There will be drink specials, giveaways and a $100 prize for the best costume, according to the blog Zombies Can’t Love.
