Davis Zombie Ball

Dress to Distress: Zombie Ball Takes Over Davis

Clear your calendar and smear a little fake blood—Zombie Ball shambles into Davis on Saturday, October 25, 2025, and it’s the most fun you can have while “deceased.” Think pulsing beats, shuffling feet, and a horde of fabulously undead partygoers turning downtown into a danceable apocalypse. Whether you’re a first-time ghoul or a long-time lurker, this is your night to rise.

What to expect:

• Costumes, obviously. Go classic Romero, glam zombie couture, undead prom king/queen, or shock everyone with “surprisingly alive but suspiciously pale.” Pro tip: comfy shoes under that tattered hem.
• Monster mixes. DJs and performers crank out eerie remixes and big, body-moving bangers—expect sudden outbreaks of synchronized groaning.
• Photo ops for the graveyard shift. Expect spooky vignettes, moody lighting, and backdrops that make your feed scream.
• Contests & prizes. From “Freshest Corpse” to “Best Couple’s Catastrophe,” creativity gets rewarded.

Before you lurch out the door:

Do your face last. Latex + fake blood look better when you apply after dressing.

Pack light. A tiny crossbody or belt bag keeps hands free for… well, reaching.

Hydrate like you still have a pulse. Trust us.

Make it a Davis night: pre-game with a bite (brains optional), hit Zombie Ball, then cool down with late-night treats. And yes, costumes are encouraged everywhere—Davis loves a theme.

It’s Halloween energy at maximum volume—one night only. Grab your coven, your crew, or your cleverest couples costume and shuffle over. The living will be jealous.
