Teen Urban Legend Fest and Zombie Party

Submitted by Mandy Pinyan on September 18, 2012

Zombies will invade the Madison Public Library on Tuesday, October 23, at 6 p.m. Be prepared to be scared -- and to have lots of fun.

Gather your best, most terrifying urban legends for this night of chills. Also, keep your decaying parts in one place. We'll combine a love of scaring by hosting the second annual library zombie walk and a love of being scared with an urban legends story fest. Absolutely revolting refreshments will be served, and prizes awarded for best zombie costume. Bring a friend and double the terror.
