Last week, the zombies were out in full force for the opening of the Woody Harrelson zombie movie Zombieland. Apparently they didn't get enough, because they were in Union Square for another Zombie Crawl—obviously they are practicing for Halloween or just want to get some more mileage out of their costumes.

              

With the month in which we celebrate All Hallows Eve upon us, a bunch of New Yorkers got a head start on ringing in the arrival of October by making themselves up as zombies and descending upon the center of the city. The Zombie Walk was a promotional event sponsored by the new movie , the film that was apparently so intense to shoot that Woody Harrelson got a TMZ photographer confused with one of the zombies he had fought after it had wrapped.

Woody Harrelson says that he had some unsavory characters on the brain when getting into an altercation with a TMZ photographer at a local airport earlier this week—zombies. The cameraman is accusing Harrelson of breaking his equipment and hitting him after he was following the actor and his daughter out of a terminal at La Guardia. Harrelson released a statement about the incident saying, "I wrapped a movie called 'Zombieland,' in which I was constantly under assault by zombies, then flew to New York, still very much in character. With my daughter at the airport I was startled by a paparazzo, who I quite understandably mistook for a zombie." CNN points out that in the film, Harrelson plays "the most frightened person on Earth" looking for refuge from zombies. A Port Authority spokesman said, "We're looking into this allegation and if it's warranted, we'll turn it over to the proper authorities." Harrelson is a longtime advocate for the legalization of marijuana.

What better way to scare all those McCarren Park sun-bathers (who will still be in tight black jeans) then by dressing up like a zombie in the middle of spring, imbibing some mid-day booze, and tromping through the neighborhood.
