Why zombies? Why are the undead shuffling atop a wave of popularity, as opposed to those angst-ridden, broody vampires whose moment in the sun — or moon — has been eclipsed by sartorially challenged zombie folk? Is that some sort of commentary on where America’s head is at in these overleveraged, post-consumer times? Naah. It’s prolly just because anyone with a little greenish makeup can make a passable zombie. Still, if you want to be a zombie, it pays to learn how to play the part, especially if you plan to mump along with the other corpses at the Arts District’s “Zombies in the District” event. At 6 p.m. Sunday outside the Meyerson Symphony Center at the corner of Pearl and Flora streets, undead wannabes will gather for a stroll over to AT&T Performing Arts Center, where dancers from Booker T. Washington High School will perform Michael Jackson’s dance from the video for “Thriller.” The dancing is followed at 7 p.m. by a screening of Night of the Living Dead under the stars at Sammons Park. The event wraps up the Arts District’s Arts in October celebration.
