【“僵尸”大軍襲擊紐約城】
as if the morning commute wasn't odd enough, intrepid new yorkers trying to make their way to work on tuesday had to battle past hordes of the walking dead.
two dozen zombies, their clothes spattered with fake blood, were staggering up and down the block outside madison square garden. downtown, others shuffled across the brooklyn bridge.
some pedestrians looked startled or amused by the ghost-white actors with bruised-looking eyes. some people ignored them entirely. others whipped out their cell phone cameras.
horror movie fan linda emery was thrilled to see the creatures.
"i'm into zombies, anything with zombies," said the 58-year-old home care provider from brooklyn. it made a change from her usual commute.
"you see a lot of stuff, but not this stuff," she said.
erik machado, an audio engineer heading to work in new jersey, was unfazed and passed by the scene with nary a glance at the nightmares walking around.
"gotta commute, gotta go where i gotta go," the queens resident said.
the stunt was part of a campaign in 26 cities worldwide promoting the halloween premiere of the amc television series "the walking dead." the show is being broadcast outside of the united states on fox international channels.
at one point, about 15 zombies crawled on the roof, hood and trunk of a parked, off-duty taxi.
taxi driver david pollack managed to escape from the horde, scrambling out of the back seat, playing along with the drama of it all.
"i think i'm going to be walking over the george washington bridge and heading over to jersey, hopefully they haven't gotten there yet," he said.
he added, "i'm a tough new yorker, but i don't mess with zombies."

二十多個(gè)僵尸渾身“血跡”斑斑，踉踉蹌蹌地徘徊在麥迪遜廣場(chǎng)花園外的街區(qū)上。在市中心，還有一些僵尸在布魯克林大橋上穿梭。
看著這些鬼魂般慘白、眼眶青腫的演員，有些行人看起來(lái)被嚇壞了，也有的樂在其中;有些人完全無(wú)視這些僵尸，還有一些人則掏出手機(jī)拍起了照片。
恐怖電影迷琳達(dá)?埃莫瑞覺得看到這些僵尸很刺激。
這位來(lái)自布魯克林區(qū)的58歲的保姆說：“我很喜歡僵尸，喜歡任何跟僵尸有關(guān)的東西。”此次的僵尸大游行改變了她平常的上班路線。
