Plants vs. Zombies to march in NYC Halloween parade

by Richard Mitchell { Oct 17th 2009 at 5:00AM }

This is a just a warning to any zombies considering joining the New York City Halloween parade. Pictured above are some of the plants that PopCap will be sending to march in said parade. As you -- the zombies -- well know, these plants will most certainly assure your demise. Well, except the wall-nuts. They'll pretty much just stand there and let you eat them, but we love 'em anyway. They're just so damned cute. Dumb, but cute.

If just saw that pic alone, I probably would've assumed I was in the most epic psychological battle ever.

Hello, we are about to launch an all-out attack on your house.
Sincerely, the Zombies

They are so cute. Their smiles are carefully engineered to make us want to hug them.

Where's Tall-Nut?!

Someone had to add this as has been a while so thought I'd do it just in case no one else did.

I really hope they play that while they march.

Wait so are we supposed to dress as Zombies and chase these guys around or something?

Whocares @ Oct 17th 2009 9:58AM

is anybody here from NYC?... Brooklyn here.

The parade gets crazy, its like trying to walk in a sea of people.

bamb0o-stick @ Oct 17th 2009 11:06AM

I'm from Brooklyn too, and I'm really eager to see this parade. Have they mentioned where they will first start marching? There really is a ton of people marching on that parade and I wouldn't want to stand there all night if its cold. Are there going to be zombies as well, or are they just hoping to expect New Yorkers dressed as zombies to join in?

Hey, I'm from Manhattan and I'll be heading to the parade.

It's always crazy but you get to meet so many new people so easily, it seems like everyone already knows each other. I can't wait.

I live about a half hour outside of the city and I was thinking about heading in to check out the parade. I'm heading in today to check out a vampire-themed haunted house in NoHo.

Am I the only one that thinks the song for the credits sucked? Maybe I'm just spoiled with portal. XD

DaRabidDuckie @ Oct 17th 2009 12:16PM

Dangit, I misread it and thought it was the Thanksgiving parade. I was thinking "Please, someone tell me they're getting Laura Shigihara to sing 'Zombies on Your Lawn' on the float. I'd watch the parade just for that."

Someone make that happen.

DWells55 @ Oct 17th 2009 12:51PM

The Wallnuts are awesome.

steve @ Oct 17th 2009 1:08PM

there better be COB CANNONS!!! they are the most epic plant in the game

Lagster @ Oct 19th 2009 12:25PM

is this a hint that zoms v plants is xbla bound?
loved the game on pc especially the pool out back(xoms with tubes were just cool) and xbla could do with something decent for a change
maybe add some sort of mp

laura @ Oct 19th 2009 1:13PM
