Thousands of people flooded the streets of Santiago on Sunday,, for Zombiewalk 2025, the iconic parade of the living dead that has become a staple of the city's cultural calendar.

From Plaza Italia to Almagro Park, zombies, vampires, and all manner of fantastical creatures filled the Alameda in a celebration that fused art, music, and cosplay.

This year's edition paid tribute to the legendary Doctor Mortis, resurrected through artificial intelligence by Dimatica Films, which recreated the original voice of the character created by Juan Marino in 1945. Live performances by Los Peores de Chile, Durango, and Alley enlivened the parade, while a costume contest awarded the most creative participants.

"The atmosphere is great since you can come with the whole family. Kids, especially animals." said Catalina López who was dressed as the comic book character Harley Quinn.
