East Side Mags in association with Indie Arts Montclair are proud to bring back our annual ZOMBIE WALK 2025!
Every year this event gets bigger so we’ve brought in some heavy hitter make up artists so we can make sure everyone is taken care of as efficiently as possible. Make-up will be $5 per person (all ages) and consists of basic zombie make up including face paint and some “blood” (no prosthetics or latex).
HERE is where you can purchase your make-up session:
- Please schedule your make-up time based on the available time slots.
- Each reservation is for ONE appointment. If you are a “party of 3” you will have to make 3 separate appointments and purchase each appointment separately.
- Please keep in mind that we are starting the walk at 5:30pm SHARP so all appointments are timed accordingly.
- Please do your best to keep your appointment. We know things “pop up” and will do our best to accommodate everyone but we can’t guarantee make-up if you miss your appointment time.
- EVERYONE needs an appointment to get make-up - kids, adults, grandma, your auntie - everyone. If all spots fill up, we will do our best to see about expanding the offering, adding make-up artists, etc.
- Please be patient with us. While we’ve run this event since 2017, the scheduling system is still pretty new to us and we’re trying to get the hang of it.
- Any questions, please contactjeff@eastsidemags.com as soon as possible
The actual walk will start at 5:30pm SHARP and we’ll creep, meander and claw our way around Montclair Center - horrifying businesses and patrons alike - in a zombie-like but non-aggressive manner. We’re zombies but we’re also respectful of others so please don’t be a dick.
Our amazing friends at Indie Arts Montclairwill have some super-scary merch available! All proceeds from merch sales go to support IAM. Details coming soon.
We’ve also got the return of MR HAUNT who will be judging a costume contest so if you’ve got your Halloween costume ready, come dressed to scare and we’ll “zombify” your costume and you could win some fabulous prizes!
**UPDATE (9/26/2025): We're STOKED to announce that Montclair's own NOTORIOUS BBQ will be here with "zombowls" aka small bowls topped with slaw and their signature BBQ sauce with your choice of brisket, pulled pork or portabello mushroom as a base! Support local business! Support your friends! This food is seriously AMAZING!
More information and fun will be added as we get closer. Follow us on Facebook and/or Instagram for updates!
Stay tuned…
