More than 2,000 people have invaded a small Spanish town for an annual zombie survival game.
Players roam the streets of Collado Villalba by night trying to elude people dressed as zombies.
According to the BBC, the rules are simple: you’re eliminated from the game if one of the “un-dead” characters touches you between 11pm and 07.30am local time.
As well as terrifying zombie characters, there are also actors in battle gear pretending to be a military response by the government.
Organiser Diego de la Concepcion says he devised the idea after becoming “bored” with existing forms of adventure games and wanted to “create real adventure”. He is the president of World Real Games, and started off with a paintball range before roleplaying events.
According to thelocal.es, the event requires 150 staff to keep it running smoothly. Their job? To take care of “check-in, make up, zombie horde control, and zombie conversion”.
Professional actors are also employed to make the groans and screams more realistic.
