A gathering of the walking dead in the Twin Cities last month has officially been dubbed the world's largest, Minnesota Public Radio reported.

Guinness World Records sent an email Monday to the organizers of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Zombie Pub Crawl to say they knocked off the New Jersey Zombie Walk in 2011 for most zombies in one gathering.

An estimated 30,000 participants attended the Zombie Pub Crawl on Oct. 13, including more than 8,000 who meandered into an event in Midway Stadium. The New Jersey event drew more than 4,000.

The Zombie Pub Crawl began in 2005 with 500 participants in Minneapolis.

The Twin Cities is gearing up for its eighth annual Zombie Pub Crawl Saturday. What used to be a small crowd of about 100 bar hopping on the West Bank has exploded into a massive event spread between Minneapolis and St. Paul. Organizers estimated about 30,000 participants last year.

How loud can the walking dead get? At least a few neighbors of Midway Stadium in St. Paul fear revelers at the planned Zombie Pub Crawl VIII on Oct. 13 could get pretty noisy. Organizers are even hoping that it could qualify for a world record gathering of zombies. But the city has granted a noise variance for the 2-to-midnight event, the Pioneer Press reports.
