Zombie Room

Good morning.

It’s Zombie Sunday again!

Now, imagine your home city would suddenly get a serious zombie infestation. It would start from a nearby mall, and spread fast everywhere. How would you defend yourself? What tools would you choose, where would you reside and how would you kill those fuckers?

First, you need to understand a little bit about Zombies – what are they, where they roam, how they operate and what are the best weapons against them. Let’s hear it from the very professionals themselves – Nick Frost and Simon Pegg, on Danger! 50,000 Zombies!

Part 1/3

Part 3/3

The first thing you should do is to look at where you reside, and how can that place be defended against the Zombies. We set foot outside the door for the first time in ages to take a little tour around our building, and see what are the weak and the strong points of it.

We live in a 100-year old building made mainly out of stone, so there’s no fear for us the building collasing, even if there’s a fire inside – it’s been standing there through two World Wars, suffered a direct air bomb hit and still standing strong, so couple of Zombies are not going to tear it down.

Another good thing is that the only entrance to the inner yard is blocked by a sturdy metal gate. The good thing about a metal gate is that you can snipe the zombies with a shotgun or a rifle between the bars. The bad thing is that it’s a human-operated gate – and whenever there are humans in the equation of fight against the Zombies, there’s danger. There’s always some wounded (say: zombie-bitten) friend or lover that can’t be left out, and once he/she is inside, there’s nothing a stone building or a gate can do no more.

As you can see, the yard is completely surrounded with tall buildings, so no zombie (unless flying or catapulted, which is – to be realistic – quite rare) can get inside.

Even the wall on the other side is tall enough so that Zombies can’t climb over it. Well, unless there’s a pile of corpses they climb on top of, but one can always climb on the roof and pour some gasoline on the corpsepiles leaning against the wall on the outside and burn them to ashes.

The weak point is that we live on the ground floor. This is a problem if the Zombies get in to the yard – they can easily climb through the ground-floor windows, and then we’re fucked. And as we know from every Zombie film, barring the windows and doors won’t do it – they will come through the barricades eventually. The one good thing about ground floor is that it’s easy to use flamethrower to the Zombies swarming in the yard to clean it and make a run to the gate to lock it again.

So all in all, I think we’re quite safe here, despite some quite apparent flaws. How about you? How’s your house, is it Zombie-safe, or are you about to be the first ones to go?

(Thanks, Janos, for inspiration!)

And the last thing to know is how to kill them. The good thing about Zombies is that they are quite easy targets – the shit thing is that there’s usually way too many of them. But from time to time, you need to be creative in the ways you kill a Zombie.

MovieFill.Com was kind enough to come up with a pretty comprehensive list called 14 Most Badass Ways to Kill a Zombie – take a look at that.

Here’s a taster:

Ok, that’s about it for this Sunday! Have a nice week!
