Organizers of this weekend's big "zombie" block party in Seattle said they were shooting for a world-record crowd of undead revelers.

The Red, White and Dead Zombie Block Party Saturday night flooded the streets of the Fremont neighborhood in numbers that may turn out to be a Guinness World Record, the Seattle Times said Sunday.

The original block party did hold the mark for largest gathering of zombies of 3,894, but a similar British event later drew 132 more of the undead.

What the walking corpses in the Pacific Northwest may have lacked in numbers, they made up for in enthusiasm. The Times said costumed revelers were staggering around everywhere Saturday and some businesses posted signs warning that anyone dripping blood on their floors would be "dismembered."
