4,026 ZOMBIES TAKE OVER BIG CHILL FESTIVAL

New World Zombie Record Set at Big Chill Festival
An official tally of 4,026 zombies took part in the filming of “I Spit on Your Rave” at The Big Chill Festival set at the wonderful Eastnor Castle venue and set a new world record in the Guinness Book of Records. This was for Film4 and Warp Films' production, I Spit On Your Rave.
The film is set nine years in the future with mankind extinct after a virus is released at the 2012 Olympics, stars comedian Noel Fielding. The Mighty Boosh star is acting the role of the Zombie King.
The plot required chained zombies to try to catch humans as they ran past them.
Watching the proceeding was the all important adjudicator from The Guinness World Records with his famous carrier bag.
Some of the “chained” zombies were aged from ten years!
The previous record for the largest zombie gathering was set last month when 3,894 participants congregated in Seattle, U.S.A.
Thousands of zombies had gone to incredible lengths to dress as zombies. They were processed by make up artists at various 'Zombie Creation Stations' and then went to the main stage area to take part in the filming. The colourful and bizarre crowd was in great festive mood and got the festival off to a great start.
The festival's film tent ran zombie flicks late into the night to keep the zombie atmosphere “alive”.
Pictured here are some of the more notable zombies of the day.

Musical acts include Spiritualized, Basement Jaxx, British Sea Power, David Byrne and Orbital. So far the weather has managed to be excellent and the festival is expected to attract huge crowds. The festival lasts from Thursday to Sunday.
