据英国《每日邮报》9月20日报道，英国海滨城市布赖顿取消了每年一度的僵尸游行，那些热衷扮演行尸走肉的人们对此大失所望。
据主办方称，身着恐怖服装、咆哮着的僵尸将不会在今年出现，这恰恰是去年僵尸游行成功的代价。去年总共有12,000人参与和观看了这个令人惶恐的节日。
2008年在僵尸游行中领导第一梯队的凯特?阿莫将取消游行的理由归结为不断上升的人工成本、医疗成本和保险费用。
“它的花销太高了，并且占用了太多的时间。去年的花销超出了2,000英镑的预算，” 阿莫在接受采访时说。“我们不希望再有这么多人出现了，这太匪夷所思了。”
Now even the undead have to worry about health and safety: Brighton cancels its annual zombie march because too many people turned up last year
More than 12,000 participants and spectators attended last year's frightfest.
Increased costs have been blamed for cancelling this year's parade
Zombies may be undead but they are not immune to health and safety fears.
The latest victim is the annual Beach of the Dead parade, in Brighton, East Sussex, which has had to be cancelled.
Groaning zombies, decked out in scary costumes, will not be rising up for after organisers said the event had become 'a victim of its own success' after more than 12,000 participants and spectators turned up for last year's frightfest.
The cancellation is set to leave walking dead fans across the nation disappointed.

Kate Amer, who led the first march in 2008, blamed an increase in stewarding, medical costs and event insurance for the decision to cancel this year's parade.
‘It just costs too much and takes up too much time. Last year it all went way over the ￡2,000 budget,’ Event organiser Kate Amer told the Argus newspaper.
‘We just didn’t expect the sheer amount of people that turned up. It was ridiculous.
‘We have had to go back to the drawing board because otherwise it would be too unsafe.’
She added: 'Beach of the Dead needs to allow the dead to rest until the grey matter decays.'
