2 Terrrifying Haunts:
Sinister Sneed's Chaotic Carbival of Chaos
Jacob Sneed's first foray into the realm of bargaining with the Devil seemed fruitless—yet as his traveling carnival teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, Sneed faced little choice other than to beg the Prince of Darkness to save his doomed festival-on-wheels. But what possible use could the Devil have for pathetic Sneed or his carnival?
Blackened The Plague
The apocalypse brought with it a time known as "the Blackened", the earth's population was nearly eradicated. Those who survived banded together in separate communities and forced to survive by any means possible. Wars between these communities raged on, death was life. One such community known as Ravenshire , has been struck with a deadly plague that threatens to destroy them all. The cause and spread of this plague is unknown.The victims experience high fevers, vomiting of blood and grotesque swelling of bodily features. Because of this plague they become dangerously delusional and violent.

Prior to 2014 when the Zombie Pub Crawl in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, with over 15,000 zombies was listed by the Guinness Book of World records for the "largest gathering of zombies", the Asbury Park Zombie Walk with over 10,000 held that record.
No Registration is required. At 10 am, the Information & Souvenir tables, and the Pro Makeup Artist Alley will open in the Grand Arcade of Convention Hall. At 4pm: the Zombie walk begins at Convention Hall where Zombies will gather on the Asbury Park Boardwalk in full costume. They will begin lurching down the Boardwalk, towards the Carousel House. From there, they will turn and head up Cookman Avenue, shambling towards the Downtown and Press Plaza.
