If you were traveling near the University of Alabama campus earlier today you may have seen a strange sight walking the streets.
Students in a class studying zombies in American literature and film dressed up in full zombie garb and took to the university campus for the class’s annual Zombie Walk.
The class, taught by University of Alabama English professor Sean Hoade, spends the three weeks of the interim term taking a close look at the evolution of the zombie horror story throughout the history of film and literature. Topics included the philosophical, symbolic and moral implications present in movies like George A. Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead,” “Dawn of the Dead,” and “Land of the Dead.”
The class took a $10 donation in order to participate in the walk, with all proceeds going to the West Alabama Food Bank.
The class raised over $500 with this year’s walk.
