zombies in London

Anyone waking up in London this morning would be forgiven for thinking they were in a terrifying horror movie.

Hundreds of fearsome 'zombies' descended on the capital as part a horror festival to mark the DVD release of the film, Zombie Diaries.

Their mission was to break the world record for having the highest number of the freaky characters in a 'zombie walk'.

The current record is 894 zombies in Pittsburgh last year.

The huge mass, who were recruited via a website, descended on Leicester Square this morning.
