A gruesome gathering as hundreds do zombie walk

IT WAS a monster of a night as revellers stalked the streets of St Austell for its second zombie walk.

The town gave the silver screen's Twilight Trilogy a run for its money, as the weird and the wonderful turned out in force on Wednesday.

Organisers Pete and Helen Minall wanted the zombie walk to attract all ages, but especially teenagers and people in their early twenties.

Mrs Minall said: "It was either going to be a hit or a miss and thankfully it was a big hit.

"It was just excellent."

The zombie walk raised nearly £300, which will be used to fund improvements in the Market House.

The plan is for an event bigger event next year.
