In Mexico, the streets of Mexico City, the country’s capital, were filled with thousands of human fathers disguised as zombies on Saturday night.

It was the annual Zombie Walk event, where adults and children dress up in scary costumes and gather in the streets to scare passers-by.

The Zombie Walk, which attracts whole families every year, was organized in Mexico for the first time in 2007.

– We have respected Mexico’s image by organizing one of the world’s largest and most spectacular zombie walks, the organizer of the event said on Saturday.

The event, which started in 2001 in Sacramento, California, USA, has now spread to several major cities around the world, such as New York, São Paulo, Bogota, Singapore and Frankfurt.
