But no, the horrifying scene wasn't just the Piccadilly Line at rush hour. The walking corpses were out in force to celebrate World Zombie Day 2015, a celebration of all things undead.

Dozens of fans of horror flicks like Dawn Of The Dead and TV shows like the Walking Dead descended on the capital today and dragged their lifeless bodies around, posing with delighted tourists.

Some of the more bizarre costumes include a zombie Nazi soldier, zombie newlyweds, a zombie Mexican, a zombie clown and even a zombie Smurf.
