For far too long, social events have unfairly excluded Zombiekind. If you are one of the reanimated dead, or are in a relationship with one, there is no reason to hide in the dark any longer! If you are a living human who is sympathetic to the cause of Reanimated Rights, or have ever been Zombie-curious, you are also welcome to join this historic event. For one night, let's put our differences aside, dance, and have fun!

Tickets

The 2014 ticket pre-sale is officially on! You can get tickets at Black 13 Tattoo Parlor in Cummins Station (209 10th Ave. S, Suite 208) or order from the online store! This is your chance to be sure you'll get in to this year's PROMocalypse. We can't wait to see you there!

What is the PROMOCALYPSE?

It's a prom! Dancing, DJs, balloons, streamers, the works. The only difference is that you don't have to sneak out to the parking lot to drink (as long as you're 21 & up). Oh, and the zombies. Cities across the world have hosted Zombie Walks, Zombie Crawls, and Zombie Proms. It's your chance to get creative with makeup and costume to become a zombie for one night, and join the horde of the walking dead to terrorize the living.

The fun starts in Nashville's Cannery Ballroom at 9pm, Saturday April 26th. Be sure to RSVP on the Facebook Official Event Page so you don't miss out on any details.

Do I have to be a zombie to come?

No! Living humans are welcome. If you are a zombie dating a human, or a human dating a zombie, or a human looking for a zombie to complete (and/or eat) you, come and dance the night away! (18+ to party, 21+ to drink, of course.)

How should I look?

Come dressed for prom: Suits or tuxes for guys, dresses or gowns for ladies. Whether you are a human or a zombie, prom attire is MANDATORY -- you will not be allowed in if you're not dressed appropriately (even if you already have a ticket). YES, WE'RE SERIOUS. The dress code is in place so we can have fun and enjoy the theme. You can be a regular, delicious human or a totally rotten zombie hellbent on brains -- or anything in between, as long as you're dressed for prom. There are several sites (like zombiemaker.com) explaining how to make and apply your own zombie makeup, or you can get help from our friends at Performance Studios at 523 W. Thompson Lane.

Note for the living: Keep in mind you might have a dance partner who has a little 'gore' on him or her. We're not responsible for your dry-cleaning bills.

Entertainment

We've got a lot planned for this year! DJ powerhouses LA FORCE will be on deck to fill the dance floor. This year, we're trying something new: a live band, Rubiks Groove, to keep the party going! We'll also have breakdancing by the ALKEMY crew, and a few other surprises! We will once again crown the PROMocalypse King and Queen of 2014. Remember to add us on Facebook for timely updates on prom court and more. Naturally, there will be FREE prom portraits available from our on-site photographer, Hannah Elaine!

Refreshments

If you're tired of eating brains, you're in luck; this year we're catered by Calypso Cafe!!! Make sure to show up on time (9 PM), we don't know how long it will last as the hordes of zombies descend! Of course, Cannery Ballroom has a full-service bar to counteract any prom awkwardness or unwillingness to dance. If you want to drink, be 21+ and plan ahead for a safe ride home! (We suggest our friends at UBER - see below for promo code!)
