Players enter the obstacle course as either a survivor or a walker, the latter receiving makeup and coaching on how to accurately portray and simulate the deadly zombie menace from the show. Survivors have to outrun, evade and/or sneak past the zombies without being caught and eaten. VIP tickets allow you to enter the course as both a survivor and a zombie, with backstage access and swag thrown in. (There are ticket discounts available for military personnel, no doubt because our brave enlisted men and women will be on the front line against any future zombie invasions and need the practice.)
6 p.m. Reliant Stadium, 2510 Westridge. For information, call 832-667-1400 or visit thewalkingdeadescape.com. $75 to $150 for participants, $20 for spectators.
