Public transportation solves many problems in urban environments. Trains make commuting to work a whole lot more convenient, but what happens when you introduce a group of zombies onto mass transit? Well, as a group of 30 zombies found out in Wuhan, China, a little bit of panic and a little bit of rubbernecking.
CnHan.com, the evening post for Wuhan city, reports that last Wednesday in Wuhan, Hubei province, a group of 30 art students got on the Wuhan city train for a ride — dressed as zombies. Some of the zombies had very minimal makeup on, while some had extreme makeup on, complete with fake blood and horrible disfigurements.
According to netizens who witnessed the scene, as soon as the party got on the train car a few started howling and making noise. There was even one zombie that started to mingle with passengers. Netizen JK said that she was so freaked that she “nearly peed herself.” JK goes on to say that the 30 zombies occupied a whole train car.
CnHan.com’s reporter got in touch with a stylist who claimed to be the makeup artist responsible for the zombies. The man claims that the stunt was a way for the students to celebrate their graduation. He claims that they started out at around 4:20 in the afternoon, and stopped when authorities stopped them.
Some netizens have taken online to denounce the stunt, claiming that the students chose a poor time to get on the train and scare people. Despite the reports saying the zombies scared the passengers, the photos paint a different scene. Some of the passengers in the photos look happy. At the same time, the authorities were completely unamused by the whole stunt.
The Wuhan city train authorities put out a statement saying that if such stunts impede and interfere with the operation of the train, offenders will have to deal with officials. iFeng.com also reports that officials said that these kind of passengers, who disturb the peace, are unwelcome on the city’s train.

One time I was at a music festival where a zombie walk was happening. A guy/zombie walked up to me and put his arms on me pretended to eat me. Clearly he’d used a shit-tonne of lipstick to simulate blood all over his face. The problem was I was wearing a brand new, white hoody! I never got the stains out. It was a good hoodie too, got it from Hot Topic, it had sweet old school ninja turtle designs on the back.
In short, zombie walks … stay out of people’s personal space and be respectful. Probably just don’t do it.
I think you were well within your right to push them away then beat them until the brain is dead.
The worst part is I pushed him away and said something like “what’s wrong with you!? You just stained my hoodie, you [insert colourful name]” and he stayed in character and just groaned and shambled on.
Massive douche bag!
That’s what you call dedication!… a dedicated douchebag
Or maybe he was like: oh shit, I just fucked this guy’s hoodie up real bad … what do I do? What do I say? … just keep acting like a zombie and walk away … Omigawd this is so embarrassing!
Man these people bother me, they wouldn’t like it very much if i was doing a hunter walk and “simulated” chopping them all into pieces with a chainsaw…
Staining your hoodie is understandable, but other than that people….Lighten up! Some folks are such such grumpy spoil sports. Have a sense of humour ffs. All people do is whinge and get offended these days, no one is allowed to have fun anymore. O noes you might offend everyone!
Pull the stick out.
