Liverpool Zombie Flash Mob In Aid of Alder Hey Children’s Hospital

Liverpool event specialists Purple Revolver are making an open call for horror fans to join their horde of zombies for a special flash mob this Friday (30th) for Hallowe’en and raise money for Alder Hey Childrens’ Hospital.

Anyone wishing to take part will have their zombie make up created by a team of professionals, over seen by Hollywood SFX guru Shaune Harrison.

Wirral-born special effects legend Shaune Harrison will hold in a panel discussion at 92 Degrees Coffee Shop on Hardman Street and discuss his work on Hollywood blockbusters and upcoming projects.

Shaune has worked on Harry Potter’s Lord Voldemort, Red Skull from Captain America: The First Avenger as well as numerous characters in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.

Horror fans will also recognise his work in Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow, World War Z, The Mummy and The Fifth Element.

You can join the flesh eating fanatics by buying a ticket for £5, which includes your zombie make up and the panel discussion with Shaune Harrison – with proceeds going to Alder Hey.

Shaune Harrison, who also runs his own SFX and make up academy in Manchester said: “This is shaping up to be a cool Halloween event.

“I’m always happy to come back to my Liverpool roots and help cause a scare.”

Purple Revolver director Andy Johnson said: “We’re delighted to have Shaune Harrison taking part in our Halloween zombie event.

“He’s a legend in the movie make up industry.

“Any fans should come along and listen to our panel discussion with him and hear about his upcoming projects.”

Places on the flash mob are limited, so people are being encouraged to buy tickets in advance via Skiddle here.
