Zombies are taking over!  Take Rob Zombie for instance.  His color looks good and he seems to be alive, But how do we really know?  Don't forget how good those women looked in "Death Becomes Her"!  Maybe they just make him look that way for interviews!  Have you ever actually seen him in a video?!  He doesn't look so good anymore!

Zombies are all over! Even the Cranberries sing about them. In their song "Zombie" they sing:

"In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?"

The video looks like scads of people are running from or hunting zombies. It must be so!

Zombies, zombies and more zombies!  There is a new Off Broadway play in NYC entitled "Zombie".   It is written by Bill Connington and adapted from the novella by Joyce Carol Oates. A review in "Variety" by Sam Thielman advises you to "sit in the back" for the "skin-crawling" performance.  It makes you wonder, why sit in the back...the easier to escape?

Zombies are everywhere! There are scholarly papers written about zombies. Stanford University, one of the foremost research and educational institutions in the world has at least one. The founder, Leland Stanford wanted a university that would "promote the public welfare by exercising an influence on behalf of humanity and civilization.” The university's president, John Hennessey, stated, "In recent years, we have launched university-wide initiatives on human health, the environment and sustainability..." I think they have been studying zombie survival!

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has a very educational paper entitled "Zombie". It states, "Few people think zombies actually exist. But many hold they are at least conceivable, and some that they are ‘logically’ or ‘metaphysically’ possible." Ah Haa! They have been studying zombies! I knew it!

Zombies have been sighted in Austin, TX! On April 2, 2009, road signs in Austin, TX told people "Zombies In Area! Run". The official story is that hackers somehow changed the message, but we know better. (wink, wink) We will be ready when they come to our neighborhoods!

So, what are we to do? Sit back and let the zombies take over? No, I say NO! We will fight back! Luckily there are many resources available to learn zombie survival skills. Take the movie "Shaun of the Dead".  Watching this movie will teach you many ingenious ways to fight zombies, including flinging records, whacking with any blunt object and running them down in cars.

"Shaun of the Dead" will also teach you the best ways to hide (being quiet is required!), how to blend into a mob of zombies, and how to thoroughly secure a building to prevent zombies from entering. 

The best information on how to kill zombies are found in video games. There are many out there...The series Resident Evil has several different games and is probably the best known.  Video games have the additional benefit of helping to familiarize yourself with the feeling of being chased by zombies. Many allow you to explore different types of weapons and hiding places to find out which work best.

One of my favorites is "Dead Rising". Willamette, CO has been shut down by the National Guard and Frank West is out to get the story. He takes his camera and sneaks into town using a helicopter. Frank is dropped off at the mall and tells his ride to return for him in 72 hours. Little does he know that the mall is infested with zombies!

The great part of this game is you have an entire mall of merchandise to use to kill the zombies. You can use mannequins, tennis racquets, kitchen appliances, and more! Find your favorite weapon and survive for 72 hours when your ride home appears.

First, take this test to find out how prepared you are to survive a zombie attack.  This will help you to determine how much you need to learn about zombies.

Now, I could list all the things to do in to survive a zombie attack, but why do the work when others have already.  Watch these videos and read these links to determine the best zombie survival methods.
