The world record for the largest gathering of zombies has been broken at the Big Chill festival near Ledbury, Herefordshire.
An official tally of 4,026 pale and bloodied revellers congregated at the festival.
Many more are believed to have been present but did not fill in a form to be counted in the record attempt.
They were also taking part in filming for the forthcoming Film4 and Warp Films' production, I Spit On Your Rave.
The film, set nine years in the future with mankind extinct after a virus is released at the 2012 Olympics, stars comedian Noel Fielding as the zombie king.
The previous record for the largest zombie gathering was set last month when 3,894 participants congregated in Seattle.
Katrina Larkin, the Big Chill festival director and co-founder, said: "The fact that 4,026 people filled out a form was excellent but there were loads more there also taking part."
She added: "It was not so much that people turned up as zombies but the effort that people went to by dressing up as zombie brides and nurses.
"It was such a laugh and just created the best atmosphere and start to the festival ever."
