Section I: Close Encounters of the Zombie Kind

1. First, at the beginning of the crisis, the zombies will be few.

You may encounter one or two one morning while getting the paper.

There may be only one or two. You can:

A) Beat the zombie with the newspaper (if you have one handy), or

B) Grab a club of some sort if one is available and deliver one or more harsh blows to the ghoul’s skull.

C)If you have a gun ready, shoot it in the head, immobilize the brain, this will kill the creature, and

D)You can run back into your house like a sissy and call the police

2. Second, as the crisis progresses, the zombies’ numbers will grow rapidly.

You may encounter a small crowd of about six to a dozen, or a whole mob of them, numbering anywhere from 30-60. To survive an encounter with large numbers of corpses in later confrantations, refer to the following:

A)Upon seeing a large mob of ghouls, RUN LIKE HELL.

B)If there is nowhere to run, find a car or house, and if you have found a car:

B1)Simply hide there until the mob passes.

B2)If the mob of corpses knows of your presence, hot-wire the car and drive away.

C)Seek shelter in a nearby house, where you should then proceed to call for help and board up the windows.

D)If you have a personal arsenal of guns and ammunition, and are either feeling crazy, or the crowd of ghouls seems to you to be controllable, open rapid fire, aim head-high, and allow intermissions in between firing to run away from the advancing creatures.


Section II: Long Term Surviving

1. When the crisis has overtaken most of the human race and put a stop to civilized society, the zombies’ numbers will be astonishing, not to mention frightening, and will be through the roof.

You will no doubt in your ongoing quest of survival run into armies of the dead that number from 100-up, usually. Big cities will be the most dangerous.

In order to survive the crisis at its worst, go by the following tips:

A)Use bombs and the like to get rid of a large army of the dead, if in an emergency situation.

B)Stay as far away from heavily-zombie-populated areas as possible, and if you have no choice, just be on the evasive from a large dead-army.

C)If you have run into a crowd this big, chances are you are in a major city. Put this to your use and hide in one of the many buildings (but be sure hideout is clear of any stray creatures). If there is no chance of any help coming, hide by day, and move on by night.

D)If you have a boat (definetely not a row boat) handy, or have found one, secure all the gasoline (find tanks, or siphon gas from tanks) in the area, and fill up the tank of the boat, and take along the reserve. With a boat (don’t forget food), search for an island, any island at all, and hole up there as long as possible; the further away from the mainland, the better.

*Help is not coming. Don’t sit around in a dangerous area for days praying for help. It will not come, as most of the population will have been decimated (let alone the PILOT population), and chanches are any other humans you encounter will probably have it worse than you and will not be able to help you.

Section III: Short-term Surviving.

1. When the crisis is just starting up, the zombie population will not be all that high, and you will still be living in your town, and martial law will have taken over. However, life will still be a struggle.

The problems will be zombies, of course, but that’s not all. Huge problems will also be immoral human civilians (i.e. robbers, bikers [see example one] and the like), and abusive military personel. To deal with all these problems:

A)Even though martial law will be in effect, there will still be stray zombies here and there. It is a good idea to keep weapons handy, and to board up windows, and to store plenty of food and water, and to be watching and listening to reports around the clock.

B)Head down to the gun store and buy a small arsenal of weapons before the store’s merchandise is bought out or the store is looted.

C)Try obtaining a Liscence to carry concealed weapons, this will keep you safe during outings to grocery stores, etc.

D)Martial Law will, on many occasions, abuse its power. If a soldier is doing this, be compliant and you may get off okay. If not, continue to be compliant, and you will eventually be let off for "good behaviour."

E)There will also be many cases of renegade humans. Remember to keep an eye out for not only zombies, but these renegades as well. If you are threatened by one on the street, remember, life is more important than the few bucks in your wallet. If one makes an attempt on your home, self-defense is advised, and start a "secret door knock" system, this will help protect you.

F)If you are sitting in your house, and from your window you see a zombie or zombies in the street, shoot them from your window. You will not only protect yourself and the neighborhood, but also aid the government in destroying the zombie population


Section IV: Zombies and You

A)Zombies will not talk.

B)Zombies can’t be negotiated with.

C)If a zombie follows you around, it does not have a crush on you, so don’t be flattered, run.

D)If you run into a zombie that was a family member, no time for a reunion. Brother Johnny doesn’t want to play with you anymore....he just wants to eat you. In the words of Seth Gecko, "Fight now, Cry Later."

E)Zombies have no racial prefrences. If you are being chased by one, don’t take it personaly.

F)Zombies are just plain bad news. Run away from it, or at least destroy it.

G)If you see the following politicians and Pop Culture Icons:

Bob Dole

Al Gore

Keith Richards

Marilyn Manson

Do not attack them. They may look, act and walk like zombies, but they are not zombies.

H)If you are driving around, and see a zombified friend of yours on the streets, do not wave.

I)We often associate night with monsters, and are afraid to go out at night during the zombie crisis. But in actuality, night is safer, because zombies are dumb, and cannot see you in the night. So, in a sense, daylight is more dangerous than night. But still, be careful, because sometimes you can’t see them in the dark, either.

This concludes the survival guide.

Zombie Questions:

1) how old were you when you first found out about zombies?

2) what did you think of zombies then & what do you think of them now?

3) how long do you think you'd survive a zombie plague?

4) have you ever had any zombie dreams you'd like to share?

1) I think I was mabey...4?
2)Man I thought they were the s**t! Axesomeness! Now of course, I know they are bad, but still cool, and need to be killed, which still makes them cool.
3)As long as It would take, as long as I had a gun, and 20+Shells....They gun would have to be a rifle. I can't shoot handguns...
4)Once, a long time ago, I was out on green lake, and like, all alone, so I drive the boat to shore, and like go over the cove, and they were here, and there, and I, being stupid, get bit, and become a damn Zombie. So I'm like walking around and we all go into rythimic dance.

Man, I wonder if Bizziarr got some Coke in my lunch before....

I learned about zombies when I was 2...the Michael Jackson Thriller video to be exact. I used to hide behind the couch when it would come on MTV my mom said. It used to scare the bejebus out of me. Now I like watching my husband play the Resident Evil games. I think I would survive a zombie attack because I have a pretty mean adrinaline response in times of danger. I don't think I have had any zombie dreams but I don't usually remember my dreams.

Actually, a zombie attack is far more likely to start in significant numbers. If caused by a viral, voodoo or extra-terrestrial agent it's highly unlikely to only affect one or two people per capita, and if so, then chances are it will be crushed, put down to a case of botulinoid neural paralysis

2. Second, as the crisis progresses, the zombies’ numbers will grow rapidly.

You may encounter a small crowd of about six to a dozen, or a whole mob of them, numbering anywhere from 30-60. To survive an encounter with large numbers of corpses in later confrantations, refer to the following:

Rapid firing is ineffectual and wasteful. Zombies are slow. Position yourself on one knee with a carbine or semi-automatic rifle and place one shot each to the skull. Cars are noisy, and an easy way to be trapped and killed. Everybody else will be driving, crashes are regular and being pulled out of the wreck piece-by-piece by the living dead is not my idea of a good time.

Pretty much on the ball with this one, although islands can be hazardous. What if the living dead make it there? it's been known to happen before, they have no need for air and have even been sighted walking under an ocean, only to appear again years later on the shore, where they then get up and keep eatin'. What's more: Unless you have extremely in-depth experience with explosives, incendiaries and ordnance (Like yours truly), stay the ******** away. You will only hurt or kill yourself or at the evry least draw zombies to your position.

Argh... Are you trying to get everyone killed? Trying to obtain a concealed carry license is idiotic, as no governmental departments will be processing weapons registration during martial law. Also - Shooting zombies from your window is suicide. The sound will draw dozens, if not hundreds. You cn't shoot them all, and your flimsy suburban house walls and door will not keep them out. At the very least, you'll be besieged and subject to the constant moans and groans of a horde of living dead packed against every window, which will drive you and yours to the brink of suicide and beyond.

So, in a sense, daylight is more dangerous than night. But still, be careful, because sometimes you can’t see them in the dark, either.

This concludes the survival guide.


The daytime is safer. Zombies mostly track by smell and heat, their sight is very poor. Their hearing is EXCELLENT. A sunny day makes your heat signature less obvious then in a cold night. Furthermore, the added noise and actions of daytime mean you're less-likely to be noticed. Our night vision is next to nothing, and you will be snuck up upon by many shambling corpses.






1. Dunno.
2. No idea. Nowadays, I think I should kill them.
3. Until it was over. I'm a survivor.
4. Nope.

What kind of zombies are we talking?

1) I dunno...very early is all I can remember. 2-4, maybe?

2) I thought zombies were so cool, that I wanted to be a zombie when I grew up. I still think zombies are cool. I just think that they should be either destroyed as quickly as possible, or else dissected to figure out how the heck they still move around after they've been bashed a few billion times or riddled with bullets.

3) Hmmm...well, considering the fact that I'm not old enough to buy guns or knives, and all I'll have are a few baseball bats and a long broom handle that's like a bo staff, as well as my license...I'd say a while.

4) I had one where the zombies were the ones who went to work and were normal, and it was the humans that walked around, groaning like mad people. Very odd indeed.

Yes I am ready and prepared to face the Zombie menace. Short term I am an excellent shot, armed (30 odd 6) and not to proud to run when confronted with large numbers.

Long term I know various people who live isoloated in rural areas with bomb shelters and years worth of food, I would heading to them in hopes of holing up until the apocolypse passes.

In the event of a worst case scenario I would push for the creation of an underground system of caverns linking survivors and the establishment of a new subterranean civiliazation.

If I have been infected I immolate myself insuring that the other suvivors have a better chance of survival.

Go Humanity You can survive the zombie plague.

1) I have no idea.

2) Mostly never had an opinion on them. Now I think seeing large groups of zombies in movies and video games are fun. X3

3) Hm... Maybe a good while, depending if I have weapons or something at hand. :3

4) Come to think of it... No.

1)When I had 6 years old. my cousins invited me to play a game that I don’t know the name, they told me that only pointed to the head pressed the suitable button and exploited the head, good that in those time the graphs were not the great thing or I would be afraid of the games sweatdrop .

2)When they explained to me that it was a zombies I get angry a lot, profane tombs and use the bodies to cause terror, that is hateful, before and even now I think that the zombie are not bad, neither notice that of they has make, so they aren't guilty.

3)To a plague so big of zombies I would survive being in an armored house, with reflectors of light so that they could not come closer and enormous ammunition of grenades cool .

4)I have never dreamt of zombie, only with ghosts 3nodding .

1.) I'm not sure, I know I was young.

2.) I was probably scared then, I HATE them now.

3.) Oh, I'd survive. Colleen, Eathan, Kyle, Tonika, Michael, Chris, and I are all waiting for the day Zombies appear. My apartment? Double-plated Shatter Proof glass windows, metal doors, a whole CRAPLOAD of various guns and swords, and only one single strong lock (to avoid the scenario of a Zombie in the house, but we can't get out because of all of the locks.) on the door. Also, there is a REALLY cool laundry chute type thing in the back, which has a ladder (that we installed) that gets off on the bottom floor (below ground) in the laundry room. The ladder is set high enough up that you have to jump to get down from it...or at least drop a little. that way, no random Zombies could see it, figure it out, and climb up to my place. We also keep food rations down there. There is a key to the apartment hidden underneath one of the crates of food, which are all also locked. And spare ammunition, and cleaning supplies...It's pretty frickin' SPIFF. So yeah, I think I'd maybe survive

4.) Zombie dreams....unfortunately. I sometimes have a dream where everything goes according to plan...except I lose Kyle. I don't know what I'd do with out him. Have you ever dreamt of being forced to watch the one you love ripped to pieces before your eyes? I have an extremely vivid and realistic imagination: I dream things like they would happen. Do you know how disturbing that is? It horrifies me. I HATE Zombies....A LOT.
