Australian pranksters The Royal Stampede brought the dead to life with the help of the Face Agency makeup school. The zombie itself wasn’t terribly frightening but his actions were. He chowed down on the guts of an actor then chased startled pedestrians, who could have simply thought he was a crazy person like the Miami cannibal. Even commuters weren’t safe. The fearless (read: reckless) actor jumped in front of a moving car and smeared blood all over the windshield. The pranksters clearly didn’t have a permit to film, let alone to attack people. They were forced to hide out from police after stalking victims in a business district.
The Walking Dead recently pulled a similar prank that recreated a zombie pit on the streets of New York. The show even went after star Norman Reedus with a truly terrifying zombie amputee.
