Zombies attack Oakdale train

OAKDALE — The lurching gait, an unfocused glare out of black-rimmed eyes, growls from behind bared teeth – the zombie advanced, the undead unleashed among the living.

Laser rifles crackled to life. Cellphones whipped into view. Her prey drew back against the rail-car walls. Grins and shrieks followed the creature’s every move until the train doctor intervened, snapping on a neck harness and leading her away from the crowd.

This was the thrill riders came for, had driven hours for, shelled out $35 to $50 for, on the early Oakdale Zombie Train on Saturday.

“I was looking for a dinner train, went online. When I saw this one, I thought, ‘Oh, my God! My son would love this!’ ” said a laughing Lisa Borges of Hollister. Beside her, 11-year-old Todd Kelley held a massive black laser gun and wore a mile-wide grin.

The Sierra Railroad Oakdale Zombie Train is a 2-hour unique experience being offered for a limited time. Riders can ride or shoot from open cars at zombies that attack the train. (Debbie Noda/dnoda@mobee.com)

Strange!

Oakdale, California is the land of millionaire cowboys.

You wouldn’t believe some of the spreads they have around that town.

Hit them in the pelvis or the back bone. Then they will have to crawl toward you.

Of course,I prefer the old zombies back in the age of WHITE ZOMBIE with Bella Lugosi.

I'm kind of partial to WHITE ZOMBIE myself.

(Especially Sean (Yummy!) Yseult.)

I really like the chanting at the beginning of that movie and the opening burial scene, it is probably my favorite zombie movie.

In the 40’s we had a dairy out Valley Home, Lone Tree way and like you say the property is now in the hands of a wealthy horse rancher.

“Ragged they come and ragged they kill.
Down in the cool air, I can see...”

And a red, red kroovy trip to the Uncanny Valley.

Because that's the family entertainment I want to take my impressionable 11 year old son to. ...whatever happened to just going fishing?
