Where would you go in a zombie attack?

[charlie and algernon]

The reports are coming in fast, the dead is rising from the grave. People that are bitten or even scratched are turning into zombies. Government has completely collapsed and all services (Police, fire, ambulance) are now nonexistant.


What do you do?

[Midlodemocrat]

1. Other - WalMart.

They have everything you need and not a lot of windows to board up.

:thumbsup:

[charlie and algernon]

2. in that regard Sam's Club would be better

more stuff in bulk, and even fewer windows, basically the front entrance which could be blocked by a truck.

[Midlodemocrat]

4. But WalMart has guns. The Sam's here doesn't.

[charlie and algernon]

5. ah, good point

[Midlodemocrat]

31. See? And I know this because

my best friend's 11yo is totally and completely obsessed with zombies and has already staged our survival in case they attack.

:rofl:

[charlie and algernon]

33. well it looks like you're all prepared.

you should share that plan, that way DU can survive and take over the world!

:rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

38. The problem is, it really only makes sense if you're 11.

:rofl:

[Phoonzang]

23. I agree.

Walmart and enough people to patrol the perimeter yet not too many so that you use up the supplies before the zombies rot.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. My yacht ....what else

:D

[petronius]

6. Either a rickety cabin in a dark and creepy forest, or a deserted old

factory with catwalks and eerie indirect lighting. If I'm gonna go through a zombie war I want the full flavor.

On the way, I would stop off at S-Mart for essential supplies, like a boom-stick...

[Phillycat]

7. Houseboat.

[fudge stripe cookays]

14. Read World War Z.

Boats don't work. They can climb up the sides! :scared:

[JTG of the PRB]

49. One of my favorite books ever!

I cannot WAIT for when they make the movie! Apparently the script looks pretty damned good so far...

[Bake]

43. I dunno ... can zombies swim?

:rofl:

Bake

[krispos42]

63. They can climb the anchor lines

Remember, in water they are nearly buoyant, so they only need a few pounds of upward thrust to climb.

Probably need something like a giant anti-squirrel disk on your boat line so they can't climb up past it...

:-)

[Deep13]

8. Grocery store.

I have my own guns.

[PeaceNikki]

9. Zombie Emergency Procedure

[charlie and algernon]

10. definitely don't want undead horded trying to eat by brains while on fire

[stuntcat]

11. I love it

:headbang:

[fudge stripe cookays]

13. .

:rofl:

This girl knows her stuff! :D

[PeaceNikki]

39. I knew that'd come in handy someday.

:patriot:

Now, if I can find appropriate uses for these images, I'll be a complete person:

[fudge stripe cookays]

65. .

:rofl: The Ray is hilarious. But I feel guilty for laughing! :blush:

[stuntcat]

12. I picked the island but

but the island scene at the end of Dawn of the Dead is like burned in my mind so I can't really imagine that working.
I'm not very fast so I know I'd get bitten right off.

[charlie and algernon]

17. well you gotta find a really deserted island,

like of the thousands out in the pacific.

[raccoon]

21. How 'bout this island?

Once They Were Almost Human! Beneath the living... Beyond the dead... From the depths of Hell's Ocean! The Deep End of Horror!

Plot:

Visitors to a remote island discover that a reclusive Nazi commandant has been breeding a group of Zombie soldiers

Shock Waves (1977)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076704/

[stuntcat]

45. I'm putting it on my list!

I TOTALLY have a zombie movie collection :headbang:

[raccoon]

56. That is one creepy movie. totally creeped me out. nt

[flvegan]

15. Necker Island.

I'd take a big, liveaboard catamaran towing a 21' cuddy along with a few firearms and thousands of rounds of ammo.

If you're going to be isolated, it might as well be in luxury.

[TCJ70]

16. What type of zombies are these?

The vicious, fast-moving, acrobat zombies a la the new Dawn of the Dead?

Or the slow-moving, lethargic zombies of Shawn of the Dead?

It really makes a difference.

[charlie and algernon]

18. the ones in the original Romero series

the original night, dawn, and day of the dead movies. Slow, but deadly.

[TCJ70]

34. In that case...

...I'm not sure. Haven't seen the old ones. But if they're slow, I have a hard time believing that the zombie takeover would go unnoticed and unhandled. Wait it out.

[texas1928]

19. Round them up and put on zombie death matches...

fun for one and all.

[deucemagnet]

20. If a zombie apocalypse hits, I just hope I'm not at work.

I work at a Catholic university, and there's a graveyard full of nuns right next to the building I work in. There's also a convent on campus. Could you imagine? Hordes of ZOMBIE NUNS?? I'd just shit my pants and drop dead.

[Lars39]

22. The Winchester

Or maybe not...:)

[davsand]

28. You beat me to it!!!

We ALWAYS go to the Winchester....

:rofl:



Laura

[Tommy_Carcetti]

29. Ha ha

You took my answer!

[Perry Logan]

24. I will try to pass as one of them.

At last--a use for my zombie-like appearance.

[charlie and algernon]

25. it worked for Shaun and the gang

[Perry Logan]

27. SUPER movie!

[KamaAina]

26. New Orleans!!

"Take me to your leader..."

[SteppingRazor]

30. Other: I'd study up on voodoo, and then use the dark arts to control the zombie horde...

and then I'd take over the world.

Muahahahahaha!!!!!!

[LeftyMom]

32. I'm going wherever flvegan is.

He's a big guy, got guns and big dogs, and he's never getting laid again if I die, so I figure he'd be pretty motivated to keep me safe. :D

[Ellen Forradalom]

35. Speaking of which, whatever became of Mr. Woof?

[charlie and algernon]

37. i think he's the zombie leader

wasn't he also a theater actor?

36. The Republican National Convention

Zombies eat brains, so I figure the safest place to be would be there.

[NewJeffCT]

57. LOL - great post - welcome to DU

I think we have a winner here.

[NJmaverick]

40. The second floor and then tear up the stairs, they are not that agile

You would be safe on the second floor.

[charlie and algernon]

41. just make sure you have a ladder

so you can get down and get supplies

[NJmaverick]

42. Why didn't you say something BEFORE I got up here?!?!?!

:silly:

[Bake]

44. This reminds me ... where the hell is Zomby Woof???

Haven't seen the ZW in a long time.

Bake

[datasuspect]

46. don't wait for the zombie attack

the most important thing you can do is to move away from population centers.

in the event of an outbreak, major cities will become blood soaked death-holes.

[NightWatcher]

48. "blood soaked death holes", insert pun here

[JTG of the PRB]

50. I'll be meeting up with some of my friends and holing out at my friend's ranch in the mountains.

Good defensive positions there, it's relatively isolated, and there's enough room to create some decent storage facilities for food and such. I wouldn't declare myself king, of course- just President For Life. :P

[east texas lib]

51. Put on Hellbilly Deluxe and join the party!

[Jamastiene]

52. I had a tough time choosing between:

• get a weapon and go on a zombie hunt
  
• get yourself bitten, have fun as a blood thirsty zombie
  
• take over a nuclear silo, conduct zombie experiments
  

I finally voted:
take over a nuclear silo, conduct zombie experiments

It sounded like the most fun to me although the other two sound like fun too.

[Captain Angry]

53. The White House

There are no brains there, so the zombies would avoid it completely. They'd never think I was hiding in the bunker in the basement. You know, the one that Cheney got dragged to on 9/11, while our fearless leader sat in a public school? That one.

[The Inquisitive]

54. Are they runners?

If they're runners the ONLY option is the island, especially if they're Dawn of the Dead type zombies that will never decay.

If they aren't runners we have a lot more options.

[charlie and algernon]

58. if they are runners, we're screwed

a fortress or an island is it, but if zombies are truly the dead come alive, i can't imagine their muscles would be strong enough to start running.

Of course we could get into the 28 Days Later lunatics...

[Pierre.Suave]

59. Have you seen...

28 weeks later?

That movie pissed me off.

[charlie and algernon]

64. yeah, it pretty much destroys the beauty of 28 days later

besides being a pretty effective zombie horror movie, it had some brilliant scenes of beauty and cinematography. The whole scene where they find Jim's parent's house and they have the choral music playing ever so softly, then again when their in the cab escaping London and the Ave Maria is playing. 28 Weeks Later would be a fine action zombie movie if it was a stand alone thing, but it sucks after following the greatness of 28 Days Later.

[FloridaJudy]

55. Mmmmmmmm. Brainz!

Pass the barbecue sauce.

[Pierre.Suave]

60. I would go for a sail until I found a safe place to hang out for a while...

I would get this:

http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/pl_boat_full_detail.jsp?slim=broker&boat_id=1461477&checked_boats=1461477&hosturl=sailcalsandiego&&ywo=sailcalsandiego&&ybw=&units=Feet&access=Public&listing_id=75218&url=

Stock it with food and supplies, and sail to an island far away from the craziness, and with the people that are most important to me.

[krispos42]

61. Stay here

I'm not on the first floor, so I'd just team up with my building-mates and rip down the staircases after evacuation the bottom floor. Grease up the posts holding the balconies up, load up the guns, and fill up everything that can hold water, and wait until winter freezes the zombies into icicles.

I've got about 400 rounds of .22 ammo on hand, and that'll penetrate a zombie skull and ricochet around inside like a ping-pong ball at up to 25 yards.

Don't have a lot of food stocked up, though :-(

[Pierre.Suave]

62. I found this to be relevant to the discussion...

How to survive a zombie attack.

[charlie and algernon]

68. that's awsome

those comments are pretty scary though, i think more than a few of those people are actively planning for a zombie invasion.

[Westegg]

66. In the Monroeville Mall, of course!
