This happened a lot during the day, actually. I turned a few heads on the street and a couple of people took some photos of me on their cell phones, but tried to pretend that wasnвЂ™t what they were doing. However, the more messed up a вЂњzombie lookвЂќ gets, the more frightening it can become.ДЄfter getting a selfie with Cooper Andrews who plays Jerry on вЂњThe Walking Dead,вЂќ I staggered my way over to the convention center. Zombie problems, am I right? The blood was fake, but the sweat was real.

Those that had splurged for prosthetic pieces and used a tacky glue to apply them, found their parts suddenly slipping off of their faces because of the sweat. Though it was only 10 a.m., it was hot inside the stadium and there was no shade. Hundreds came dressed up and hung out with cast members from the show and were instructed to вЂњwalk like a zombieвЂќ in the grassy outfield. The first stop was Petco Park for the official вЂњThe Walking DeadвЂќ horde photo. However, I only did minimal make-up: fake blood, some dark brown, black and plum eye shadow and a shredded up Batman T-shirt did the trick.

The spectrum varies greatly from the casual cosplayer to the fully decked out guests that look like theyвЂ™re ready to jump right into the high-definition version of a superhero blockbuster.ДЇor this reporter, who is attending Comic-Con for the very first time, I decided to see what it was like to play dress up for just one day and spent exactly 12 hours at the convention done up like a Comic-Con zombie. Now in its 50th year, Comic-Con brought out over 130,000 comic book, film, television and pop culture fans to its annual convention and a large portion of those in attendance participate in some form of cosplay. ItвЂ™s a challenge to keep a costume on all day long and be comfortable enough to walk miles upon miles within the San Diego Convention Center, the surrounding hotels and the historic Gaslamp Quarter for the annual Comic-Con International. I joined the Walking Dead zombies at Comic-Con, and this was my day of the dead вЂ“ Orange County RegisterД¬osplaying isnвЂ™t easy, but it sure is fun.
