On October 23^rd, the undead will take over the streets of Okalahoma City. For the fourth year in a row, local residents Flaming Lips are inviting 1000 of their closest fans to join them on a flaming-torch-bearing, skeleton-costume-wearing-parade.

Think you’ve got what it takes to join the festivities? Official costume bundles are now on sale in the Lip’s on-line shop. But of course see “Important rules and regulations” below before buying. (No really…it’s all fun and games until someone starts playing with a flaming torch.)

Important rules and regulations

1. You can wear your costume from previous years and participate in the parade. If you choose this option you can purchase just the T-shirt and the torch for $20. All the same rules apply, you must be 18 and you can only use the torch that we provide.

2. 2010 Death March branded skeleton costumes come in 2 sizes: Standard and Large. If you order a STANDARD costume, you will only be able to select between a small or medium t-shirt. If you order a LARGE costume, you will only be able to select between a large or x-large shirt. Each bundle comes with a torch and 2010 March of 1000 Skeletons event t-shirt.

3. You may only purchase 2 costumes. Every costume must be for a person so we need a person's name and e-mail address attached to each costume. You will receive an email from us if you order 2 so we can obtain the other person in your party's name.

4. Every skeleton will be carrying a torch with real fire. Anyone in the parade must be 18. Anyone in the parade must sign a waiver.

5. You will be told at a later date when and where to be so be sure to enter a valid name, email, mailing address and phone number at checkout.

6. A person must have the ability to march in the parade for up to 2 hours.

7. If you do not show up at the assigned time to pick up your outfit and be in the parade you forfeit your fee and will not receive a refund.

There are no refunds.
