​

ASHES THE EMPEROR
Leader of Zombie Town

Ashes leads the newly formed Zombie Town as the brave and hard-nosed dictator. During the takeover, Ashes self-appointed the title of Emperor. It is apparent that Ashes has some deep-rooted ego issues. 

Ashes was a former Hollywood movie star before becoming infected with the H5N1 Zombie Virus only 3 weeks ago.  This emperor will get what is requested or throw an angry tirade.  Double-crossing Ashes is unwise.

Rumor has it that some of the zombies might be staging an uprising due to Ashes leadership. It would be best if Ashes doesn't learn the identities of these undead.

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Regal yet tattered clothing. Zombie makeup: scars/skeleton showing and heavy white/black makeup on the face. Optional to have a scepter and an emperor’s robe/crown.

 

COPPA
Zombie Town Chief of Police
Coppa is Ashes the Emperor’s right-hand zombie. As the police chief, it’s Coppa’s responsibility to make sure the town runs smoothly and that the zombie citizens lawfully conduct themselves. Coppa has had a difficult time recently with the growing frustrations about the cravings for living human flesh. Not a crowd favorite, Coppa has wretched manners and is outright rude.

Coppa has recently had trouble with some of the zombies who live in the forest. Something is going on - but Coppa isn't wanting to talk about it and claims it's all under control. Does Coppa need to recruit more deputies? Or should the newly-formed Zombie Town Army take over? Time will tell. 

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tattered clothing, zombie makeup, a messy wig with a police hat, and a toy gun/baton as optional props.

 

KEEJACK
Zombie Town Real Estate Agent

Keejack assumed the role of the official Zombie Town Real Estate Agent the day the zombies took over Sunnyville three weeks ago. With no conventional financial system in town, Keejack’s purpose is to solve all disagreements involving property acquisitions. And there are many each day.

 Keejack’s a nightmare to work with, as this prior defense attorney is an incessant trash-talker. Keejack is also bluntly honest. If you fear the truth, avoid this undead fiend at all costs! 

Some zombies are being awarded multiple properties in town, whereas others, who have valid jobs in Zombie Town, either haven't been awarded a property or have only been given a small apartment. This is starting to create big problems. 

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tattered clothing. Zombie makeup. A messy wig is an optional prop. Optional to have an assortment of keys to properties around town as a prop.

​

DAREBAIT
Zombie Town Repair Shop Owner

In the last three weeks since the zombies took over Sunnyville, Darebait hasn’t made many friends. This zombie is uptight, inflexible, and impersonal, making Darebait unpleasant to be around.

This undead body tailor runs the Zombie Repair Shop where zombies must go to have their body parts reattached. Darebait puts on a front as a real zombitarian but is more of a vigilante, using connections on the streets of Zombie Town to cause havoc with troublemakers.

Being a body tailor is not a job that anyone wanted to scoop up when the town formed. Darebait hadn't come up with a better option for a job to contribute to the zombie society, so Ashes declared Darebait would run the repair shop. Maybe this is where Darebait's villain arc began? 

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tattered clothing. Zombie makeup. Optional to wear work-style coveralls/overalls or a lab coat. Make ‘spare parts’ by stuffing pantyhose/socks/gloves and keep them with you as optional props.

 

EGORIAN
Zombie Town Chef
Egorian is a spunky former college student from Sunnyville University who has assumed the role of the town chef in Zombie Town. Egorian is a culinary genius who makes zombie-worthy dishes from the unfortunate humans who wander into Zombie Town. Egorian continuously mocks others and is greedy and overzealous. Avoid situations where Egorian could take advantage of you.

Zombies certainly don't have to cook their food before eating it, but Egorian has convinced everyone in town that it's best to maintain some level of decorum and try to act like the human population that surround Zombie Town. Egorian made the argument that if they were simply eating barely-dead human flesh, and if that ever leaked to human social media - everyone would see the zombie population as the savages that they are. So Egorian cooks up the unfortunate humans who have been caught in Zombie Town. Zombie's can't even taste salt, pepper and other spices, but Egorian uses them, nevertheless. 

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tattered clothing. Zombie makeup. A messy wig as an optional prop. Optional to wear a chef’s hat/coat and carry a toy chef’s knife and spatula.

​

FUN-FUN
Zombie Town Comedian
Fun-Fun was a bored fifth-grade history teacher when among the living, but once Fun-Fun joined the undead, the lifelong dream of being a standup comic came to life. No pun intended.  Well, maybe it was - who knows.

With an ironic, intense fear of germs, keep your distance from this uber-hygienic undead. Fun-Fun is sure to keep a safe distance from you.

Fun-Fun is constantly surveying other zombies, studying them, and writing notes. You never know when you'll be featured in the next standup routine! 

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tattered clothing. Zombie makeup. A messy wig as an optional prop. Optional to bring a rubber chicken or wear a silly costume and latex gloves or hand sanitizer for your hands.

 

GOGEYA
Zombie Town Bounty Hunter
A perfectionist by heart, Gogeya (for ‘gonna get ya’) is the top bounty hunter in Zombie Town. If a criminal’s on the loose or if a human crosses the city limits, Gogeya tracks ‘em down. 

Gogeya is arrogant, rather conceited, and claims to be the best looking zombie in town. If there even is such a thing - zombies aren't known for their looks. Gogeya constantly stares into a mirror, nevertheless.

In Ashes' eyes, there's nobody better at tracking a target down. Gogeya would do anything to keep that status, but rumor has it that there have been a few problems that have manifested. However, this hunter has been able to keep the details under wraps...thus far. 

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tattered bounty hunter-style clothing, zombie makeup, a messy bleached-blonde ‘mullet’ wig as an optional prop, and an optional handheld mirror.

 

HARG
Zombie Town Joke Shop Owner
Don’t trust the fun-loving party animal and prankster zombie that answers to the name of Harg. On the other hand, this joke shop owner is the one to be around at a party!  Harg has tricks hidden in every sleeve and surprises around every corner, so you better watch your back around this mischievous fun-provoker!

Recently, this happy-go-lucky zombie has taken a sour turn. But Harg refuses to bog anybody's time down with the details. Hopefully, whatever is ailing this joker will resolve itself before the Undead Festival. 

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tacky, tattered clothing. Zombie makeup. A messy wig as an optional prop. Optional to bring a Post-it notepad and pen and any other practical jokes.

If you'd like to bring some practical jokes & pranks to the party - go here for ideas. 

 

ICE
Zombie Town Prisoner
Ice, a former high school principal in Sunnyville, was imprisoned for hiding a cluster of humans in an attic after the zombies took over Sunnyville. Ice is serving an undetermined amount of time for being sympathetic to the living. Ice was given a pass out of jail to attend the Undead Festival. Beware if you don’t like close-talkers, as this zombie stands uncomfortably close during chats. 

Ice hasn't been free since the town was formed 3 weeks ago, so this prisoner has no clue how to function in a zombie society. Ice hopes not to mess up and do something wrong, as Ashes has no tolerance for drama. 

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tattered clothing, zombie makeup, a messy wig as, an optional prop, and a prisoner uniform (there are prison uniforms in the costume selection above).

 

JACQUE ZOMBIE
Zombie Town Street Performer
Hailing from France, Jacque Zombie hit the Hollywood big screen as a child. By fifteen, Jacque left the bustling Hollywood lifestyle for small-town living in Sunnyville. Jacque Zombie is now working as a street performer in Zombie Town.  Alas, don’t go to this undead for a cheering-up if you’re sad or angry, as Jacque will spread a lousy mood to others like warm butter on toast.

Could the foul vibes be due to just being a zombie now? It is a rather big adjustment for most former humans. Or, could it be because Jacque is 'living' with a failure of a career as a movie star? Jacque will never tell. 

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tattering clothing, zombie makeup, a messy wig, and a fake acoustic guitar (or other street-performing item) are optional props.

 

STORIE & THE ZTTV PRODUCTION CREW
Zombie Town Television Reporter
Storie is the tenacious Zombie Town investigative reporter for ZTTV. If there’s a story in Zombie Town to tell, Storie’s right on top of it.  An insatiable neighborhood gossip, don’t spill the beans to Storie if you don’t want your secrets to be blasted out on every street corner of Zombie Town by dawn.

Storie makes the ZTTV crew always remain on standby. Nobody gets a day off. Nobody is ever completely free, as a story could break out at any moment. The news crew are run ragged - they love to sleep. Zombies don't need much sleep, usually. 

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tattered clothing. Zombie makeup. A messy wig as an optional prop. A fake microphone that has a logo ZTTV on it as an optional prop. Optional to wear a reporter costume. 

​

COLONEL POW & THE ZOMBIE TOWN ARMY
Zombie Town Military Commander
Pow was recently appointed Zombie Town’s Military Commander. With the town’s future uncertain, Ashes decided it was time to organize a military force. Pow claimed the top rank of Colonel—because “General” sounded too milquetoast.

Pow is full of random bursts of energy and will break into song at arbitrary times, which should add fun vibes to the Undead Festival! 

Pow is typically seen with a troupe of Zombie Town Soldiers, as they are constantly undergoing field training. Colonel Pow also has pitched to Ashes to get rid of the police force and just have the military. Thus far, that idea has been tabled. But if the Colonel could pull off recruiting all the cops in town - well, that would accomplish the goal without having to have permission.

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tattered clothing, zombie makeup, and a messy wig as an optional prop. Any type of military props (e.g., hats, toy guns, medals, etc.) are optional.

​

SQUASH
Zombie Town Pumpkin Patch Guard
If you chat with Squash, get ready to endure intricate fine points and facts. Squash will overexplain things when asked, so you have been warned. Just clear your calendar for a bit if you need to speak to this guard of the Zombie Town Pumpkin Patch. The patch is one of the most important resources in town.

The newly-formed population of zombies were immediately quarantined from the surrounding U.S. population. Being that live human fresh (or freshly dead) is their primary food source, they were doomed to a slow second death by starvation. However, the scientists in town rallied together and figured out that pumpkins were enough to sustain a zombie's hunger.  It's not working as good on the appetite, however, so they are still undergoing testing. Squash and the other self-preserving farmers that work in the patch are adamant that pumpkins will always be the primary food source of Zombie Town. 

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tattered clothing. Zombie makeup. A messy wig as an optional prop. Optional to bring small pumpkins as optional props.

 

GRAVE
Cemetery Guard
Grave is a mysterious cemetery guard at Sunnyville Memorial Cemetery. It’s rumored that the H5N1 Zombie Virus can bring the dead back to life - but nobody has come forth with proof of this to date. Grave might have dabbled with revival experiments, however. But the effects of a resurrection are vastly unknown, so Ashes has forbidden anyone to revive a dead person by infecting the corpse with the zombie virus. Nobody knows anything about Grave’s past, which makes a few zombies uneasy.

Grave is fiercely protective of the cemetery and refuses to allow free passage through the grounds. 

If it is truly just the dead resting in there - what's the big deal? 

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tattered clothing. Zombie makeup. A messy wig as an optional prop.

 

NUMB & THE DEPARTED
Zombie Town Rock Stars
The Departed is the top rock band in Zombie Town. They will be the headlining act at the Undead Festival. Numb fronts the band with high energy and talented vocal skills. Albeit, there are many other vocalists in addition to an array of backup vocalists. Next to Emporer, being a rock star is a coveted job in town, so many people begged to get in on the rockin' action during the first days of Zombie Town when everyone was scrambling for a job to contribute to society. 

Numb is also a romantic poet who performs at the Undead Poets Lounge. Armed with perfect manners and an adoring personality, this is one sincere and lovable zombie.

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tattered clothing - rocker-style. Zombie makeup. A messy wig as an optional prop. Optional to have fake microphone and fake instruments for the band members playing with Numb.

 

PROFESSOR KAPSID
Zombie Town Scientist
Professor Kapsid, a former professor at Sunnyville University, is an arrogant exaggerator. This professor might win you over with Australian charm, but don’t be fooled – this self-loving scientist cares about one thing and one thing only…Professor Kapsid. Let this crazy doc have the final say, or you might not like the outcome.

The professor spearheaded the finding that the pumpkin food source would sustain zombies by reducing their hunger. But the professor has been secretly working on something else. Nobody in town knows what this project might be, and many are very curious. 

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Mad Scientist costume – crazy wig, glasses, lab coat, zombie makeup. Beakers, test tubes as optional props.​
