Zombies invaded Buenos Aires the day before Halloween.

The mob assembled in Plaza San Martin and gathered momentum and numbers until they spilled out of the plaza and took over Calle Florida on their way to the Obelisco.

The flash mob was a huge success with thousands of zombies ambling around. The costumes ranged from a bit of white foundation, to full-on gaping latex wounds, and even one guy even carrying a cow’s brain in his hand all afternoon.

The day was full of wicked amusement including a choreographed Thriller dance, and there was a canned-food drive and a blood-drive.

Happy Halloween!
