Thousands of self-proclaimed 'undead' have gathered in the historic centre of Mexico's capital for a 'Zombie Walk' that organisers hope sets a world record.
The announced 9,860 registered participants are dressed in rags and ghoulish makeup to look bloody and decaying.
Organiser Pablo Guisa says the fifth annual Mexico City event is meant to celebrate diversity and human rights. The participants also collected donations for a local food bank.
Cities around the world hold zombie walks, and Guinness World Records currently recognises Asbury Park, New Jersey, as the record holder, with 4,093 participants on Oct 30, 2010.
A group in Brisbane, Australia, has applied for the record, claiming it massed 8,000 'zombies' last month.
