"Hello! I'm Matt Cail on behalf of Expert Village. I'm here today to show you how to make a zombie costume. Your zombie costume is now assembled, but if you want to be taken seriously as a zombie, you need to know how to act as a zombie. It's no good showing up with the best makeup on in town and act still like yourself, still like one of the living. Here's a couple of tips on how to act like a zombie. Number one; kind of make one side of you mouth slack. Expose some of those lower teeth as if you look like you've been gnawing on a leg whenever much like another one. Something else is that zombie are dead, meaning they no longer produce saliva. It's very difficult for them to talk or make an type of noise. Make kind of moaning or deep very, very words. That's about the limit of your vocabulary. While maybe you can say a couple of words in conversation, definitely try to keep a raspy, deeper voice. The last thing that you can do is kind of walk more like a zombie. You're dead, you've gone rigamortis. Your motions are going to be jerky and stilted. You're not going to be really walking in a smooth fashion anymore, so make sure to integrate that with you gate and your general movements. Of course, temper that to some degree because you're going to picking up drinks and eating foot throughout the night, or maybe you'll just be eating some brains."
