Going along with the recent Urban Dead obssessions (maybe its just me) here at the SP I was thinking maybe I'm not the only one who daydreams about what they would do in the event that zombies became a reality.

What would you do if there was a zombie outbreak in your area?

Oh, and these are the slow shamblers we're used to in the original Romero trilogy... not the freakishly fast and deadly kind like those seen in 28 Days Later.

Slow ones? Barricading somewhere where there is lots of food sounds good. Going to sleep would suck. I'd also go raid any weapons stores before going mall with other people.

Shotguns. I hope those are skeet shotguns, not sprays.

I'd book it to Costco, get supplies with some friends and everyone who matters .. to me .. Hold out on the roof or upper areas. Make my way to lockable buildings, slowly working north.

Canada would be the place to be. Why? It's f**king cold (I'd go to the middle north area) Constricts their bodies and they move slow already. Also, Canada is spread out. There's large areas with no people.

Also. I have my trusty guide. Morphine, go buy this book (you could download it off the site, but having it in book form is cooler).

I love books like that like Action Hero's Handbook.

It's great. It even has a "journal" area in the back to recount your events ... since all these survivors always have some sort of place to keep them.

Even "zombie encounters throughout history". Then there's a bunch of sections on how to deal with zombies. Hunt them. Exterminate them. So on and so forth.

I love that book though. It's sadly, is the best "explanation". It just glosses over some things. Breathing. How can the zombies groan if they don't breath?

Other than that, it's pretty comprehensive. (Sort of).

I love the fishing tactic for getting water logged zombies. It also has a class system for "invasions". Class 1-4, four being world wide and lasting for at least 30 years.

Of course, a lot of stuff is off. Like the lifetime of a zombie. Not that long, right? They don't regrow muscle, so the more they move the weaker they get. There's still forms of decomposition.

You'd also be able to smell them coming. They are corpses after all.

You can guess what my zombie series will be like. (Yes, I'm planning a series to start off a film career) I just need money ... any investors? :dodgy:

You know what's funny, I was just talking about the plot of a zombie film I would write if I felt like it.

Basically -- my friends and I were wondering how zombies would actually come into existence.

I figured it would be a group of crazy scientists who wanted to create a vacation island infested with zombies to be marketed to all the zombie nerds who want to try out a weekend (or longer) of survival amongst zombies. A Zombie Park if you will....

I thought it would be pretty funny to rip off two movies at once. Romero's Day of the Dead and Jurassic Park.

But seriously, you should start off with a Zombie series! I can't get enough of these movies. I'd love to be an extra, and I'll work for just a TShirt (like most of the extra's in Romero's films). Let me know if you need a 20 year old half-asian zombie.

Have you started on the script? Wouldn't having an amazing script be a great way to get investors in on your idea?

Well it's a proven fact that anykind of porn sells. There's always someone who gets his kicks out of something else.

I'd probably go to the gun closet and take my fathers scoped hunting rifle and a double barreled shotgun. Then I'd hoard all the ammo I can get and get some not-so-easily-decomposing food and perhaps climb on a rooftop. Getting laid would be one of the things on the to do list after that, but first things first...

I'm already in Canada, I'd probably stay <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Only problem, is that I can't really get a gun up here <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

I'd raid Costco too <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

If you want to see a zombie film that actually explains how the zombies appeared and how they can be gotten rid of, look for the film 'Undead'. It's an Australian made film, has a great story and some classic Australian humour. It's also one of the best zombie films I've seen, and I love zombie films. Here's the url:

Shotgun? Hell, no! Busting their heads off with my shovel is the best thing to do. How hard could it be to kill a bunch of slow, decomposing and not to witty zombies?

Too bad I don't own a machete. I think that's probably the perfect weapon.

Either that or a pike... but where can you find pikes nowadays?

I'd gather close family and friends and go somewhere remote. Then I'd just stay there and protect the place as good as possible, trying to stock up on food and gasoline and other useful things, perhaps a bunch of first aid kits. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">
I'd try to keep myself updated on how things were progressing, listening to radio or watching television if there were any broadcasts.


What the Snarkpitters listen to!
