'Living dead' on rampage in Athens

ATHENS - Hundreds of zombies and other creatures took over the center of Athens on Saturday, spreading horror, shock and awe among locals and tourists.

The living dead began their rampage in the Greek capital's central square for the seventh running of the "Athens Zombie Walk".

"The last two years the turnout at these events has been very big, so it looks like there is a trend," said Yolanda Koliou, coordinator of the event.
