right i got to thinking the other day if zombies in all their rotting wisdom did return to earth to eat the flesh of the living where would be the best place to hole up?? you would need one enterance to defend i think and some food and a telly to see the news, i would probobly go in the attic of a cornershop then i could make midnight raids to get food! only problem is i wont have any weapons and the telly might not get any reception in a loft. what would you do? tongue.gif

You'd hide? Screw that. I'd be stealing a car with a few mates, getting kitted up at B&Q, making my own death wagon a la Army of Darkness and go down in a blaze of gore and glory.

Oooh, I dunno. Our office is pretty substantial - plate glass doors at the front that can be locked, doors that can only be opened with a security card (and they CANNOT be forced open) in the car park, which itself is caged off at night. There's perhaps four places where a substantial amount of food is kept nearby.

Dunno about a TV, but we have the web.

And I can't see the dead fucks scaling the walls to try and get in - the building's like a shorter version of Nakatomi Plaza! tongue.gif
Crutch
It'd stay at home. It is only 14 stories lower than Nakatomi Plaza and unless one of the late inhabitants uses its keys, they won't come in. Problem would be, that I'd have to handle the thousand late inhabitants in this building, returning as Zombies, first, but after that, I would have an epic amount of food, a lot of bed-rooms and a stunning view. To handle the thousand late inhabitants: I allways got my machtete on my nightstand. (No joking.)

Ahhh Crutch... frightening as always.

I don't live too far from the sea, so I'd either get the car (or run, Zombies don't move fast) to the beach then jump in my rubber dingy and sail away as fast as possible, and find some deserted island to stay on until everything was sorted.

If that option wasn't open to me, I'd sit on my roof with loads of knives and weapons and if any Zombies came up after me I'd go crazy and take as many of them out as possible before they'd finally get to me.
Crutch
You are not the first person, who though so...

When there is no living soul on an island, that doesn't mean, that it is not inhabitated...
Crutch
Maybe I would go to hell, maybe the dead were so pissed, that there is no more room in hell, that they are all walking the earth, now. So I would "chill" in the fires of hell, having a smoke with Constantine and flirting with the hot girls from Devil's Advocate.

I'm worried that I'd thought about this quite alot before this thread came up (Living in London post the release of "28 Days Later" has made the city intrinsicly zombieish for me.) I'd stay in my flat, its actually pretty defendable and I could slowly clear my zombie neighbours out of their property until I had a whole apartment block to myself.
MagicDave
Somewhere remote initially to get time to plan, then on to an island which is able to support a colony for a length of time, somewhere like Guernsey or the Isle Of Wight. Somewhere small so the zombie threat can be easily eliminated and monitored, but large enough to keep a sustainable population alive.
Ohio_is_for_lovers
Id find the swords we have, go out on a zombie killing crusade pop to toms who wierdly has a worrying amount of guns and stufff, oh before this i would have used my dads car by the way, erm....then broke into tescos or somewhere where i would eat till the zombie threat was over. oooooh i know exactly which tescos too.
I-am-the-movie
my house is only accesible up a steep drive and loadsa steps. Annoys the hell outta me but i'd be set! If they tried to get to me they'd just topple like a load of skittles.
Ronin
I think it'd depend on what type of Zombie infestation we were talking about.

If the zombie situation was ala Romero's zombie world.. where anyone who dies becomes a zombie, no matter what.. then I'd probably steal a yacht and head out to the high seas.. only pulling into port long enough to get supplies.

If it was the new version of Dawn of the Dead (or Shaun of the Dead, I think) I'd be more likely to try to group with other survivors and build a sanctuary somewhere that is defensible on an open expanse of land.

If neither was an option, I'd probably just try to have fun killing as many as I could before they took me out.

I'd go to Jimmy Carrs house, since noone ever goes there it's the safest place in the world.

As a bonus I'd have to take care of its current occupent, but hopefuly he will keep reanimating allowing me the chance to see if I ever would tire of kicking his face in.

If Jimmy is already dead ( rolleyes.gif ) then I'd make for the highlands, some army bunker from WWII, I'd stop by the local Convent training grounds, Nursing college and Teacher training facilities to try and make sure we have plenty of strong nubile women around to help repopulate the place after it all cleared up.

I wouldn't take any guys because, well, they can come up with their own plans surely smile.gif (As can women who oppose this plan cool.gif )

I like the sailnig idea, but in Pirates of the Caribean they could quiet easily walk under water...that's even worse.

I suppose that would be pretty damn creepy. They did the same thing in Land of the Dead. (and in that ridiculous "House of the Dead" the zombies were good swimmers.)

Maybe I could rig my boat with anti-undead artillery.. and zombie-sonar.. and.. nah I'm way not motivated enough for all that. Maybe hiding in a mauseleum would be the smartest idea.. wouldn't the cemetery be the last place they'd want to go hang out?

When I was living in Syracuse NY, I used to work for Lucent Technologies and one of the places I used to work in was a bunker 400 ft underground in the neighboring town of Tully that AT&T owns. Plenty of food, Very secure. My dad still works there so I guess thats where I will go. Well armed of course.

That foxed me lol!!


I'm too lazy to run away anywhere so I'd probably stay in my bed... but, having said that, it'd be REALLY easy for them to get in my house, so, I'd get my dad's guns and get on the roof.... they'll never get there!!! Bastards.... trying to eat me.... I'll show them....
jem
i'd go out and join the party, off (if its possible to kill something thats already dead) a few of the walking dead, and propably get eaten. if i was lucky i'd turn, make it to england, and feast on you lot and quite possibly the royal family.
theevilresident101
Hmm...that's a toughy. And just the other day I was reading 'My Zombie Hunter's Survival Guide: Complete Protection From The Living Dead.' Yes, that book IS for real. Since I have read it I thought I live so far out of town, but I would go to a place with stairs (I know a house; I'll drive) then demolish those stairs incase some rampaging non dead people try and get in. That or the school up the road...

WEAPON OF CHOICE: A steak knife, cricket bat and an axe. (although the axe would be heavy.) biggrin.gif

After all this, I join the army and start having fun!!
Duncan_C
I'd bomb it round to my mates house and hide out there waiting for the channels to go down then have some fun.
butterfly_with_a_bomb?
The top of Shrewsbury Castle, I'd then lower the fully functional portcullis, raid the gift shop (of everything) and raid the WWI mini-museum and head for the top, I'd then have a locked up castle, lots of stairs, battlements, gifts and a (possibly) functioning "Victor Machine Gun" (Big Al said it works any way), and when out of ammo I could just drop small diecast models of the castle off the roof.... they could kill a zombie if they had enough momentum behind them!

Edit: Not Just Diecast models... also keyrings, stationary and the big glass cases they're left in! Hopefully there'd be a bit of the old "Black Night" garb left aroung as well, giving full zombie protection... so I can head down the Harry Hotspur for a couple of swift 'alfs (although playing darts could be tricky in battle vestments).

I work in a bingo hall so I'm already used to the undead shuffling their way around and moaning biggrin.gif

Seriously thought its a really old building with big heavy doors so it'd take em a while to get in. I'd go down to the handymans room and get a sh*tload of saws, screwdrivers and hammers and sit on the stage and wait for em...

Though in reality I'd probably cry like a big girls blouse and sit rocking in the corner...

Twink biggrin.gif
Verstan
due to the repetive nature of my part time job, i spent a long time thinking about this, i worked out a way to turnt he little shopping centre i work in into a vertiable fortress and shelter with plenty of food, water and supplies untill wen could takeover the major shopping centre similar to dawn of the dead,

funniest part is i joked about doing that during work and my friend and i ended up ina in depth discussion about it and came up with soem great ideas smile.gif
Jumpin Jack Flash
Yeah i do that to! thats part of the reason i created this thread because i wanted to see if i was just insane or i other people thought about it aswell. I find myself walking past buildings thinking to myself 'No, that back doors to weak' or 'nah there is nothing to eat there'. I think Wells Cathedral would be good place to hide if anybody has seen it.
Verstan
hahahaha

i do the same thing, i sit in school and looka round thinking, "mass zombie onslaught here would lead to all kinds of badness) schools are so dangerous, do they not think of zombie invasions the fools
Jumpin Jack Flash
Yeah they have just built a new science block. Bloody Stupid its like 'modern' and its made of glass! that would be useless in an emergancy! well our kind of emergancy anyway! people should be more considerate about these things!
Acidboy
I agree. Our newscience block is crap. The doors are stupidly heavy, which is annoying 4 me but quite good in a zombie invasion doncha think flash?
Jumpin Jack Flash
Yeah but they are made of glass which is never good! And they smell, so eventually i would beg zombies to come in and eat me so i can get away from it!
Crutch
If they'd invade tonight, I'd just stay in bed.
Jumpin Jack Flash
I would wanna dress up in some clothes that i would have to spend the rest of my zombie life in. Like i would want to dress like spiderman, or a clown!

Yeah, someone should have told that the dead blokes from Day oftD. Those fuckers were fucked.
Jumpin Jack Flash
I KNOW!! Nobody else agrees with me! i how stupid where you that you were wearing a clown outfit when you heard the news of zombie invasion and didnt get changed!!! It would have been the first thing i did. Do you ever try and think of back stories for famous zombies like how they got bitten? .......no? just me then happy.gif

Dang. I forgot about the Robbie fans. I would say that un-death will do them a world of good. They can all eat each other and do me a big a favour. Sorted!
Celticstar
oi i'm just up the rd from stoke!!!! But i agree that thir are enough zombies here before an invasion! laugh.gif

I'd go to the moors and live in a hole.

i think my flat would be pretty safe. If the people in my block/section all ran away too, we'd have quite a comfortable area to live in, only one entrance, multiple lockable doors, a stairway that could be baricaded. I think it woud be perfect.
Ringcoirewen
I would hide in my church, there's lots of places to hide in there. Although it is next to a graveyard. Hmm, I haven't really thought this through... Oh well, if any zombies got tough with me then I'd set Darth Tater on them. That'd scare them.
