The Czech Republic was host nation to the largest Zombie Walk in the world, which took place in Prague on Saturday.

Some of the costumes were elaborate and disturbing, including a woman with a dead foetus on an umbilical cord, a World War II solider and a man with his head in a metal brace. Nuns and pirates were also popular choices for outfits to parade along the streets, scaring tourists and locals.
