WIN: 2x In The Event Of A Zombie Attack DVD
Just because our birthday is over doesn’t mean we don’t have anything else good to give away!
4D4 films have given us 2 copies of their excellent 50′s era style educational film, In The Event of a Zombie Attack. With jumpy/grainy effects and dialog appearing out of sync in places it’s a pseudo-educational film for the whole family.
You can support 4D4 films by following them on Twitter, liking on Facebook, subscribing on Youtube or buying merch.
Dr. Elizabeth Kerslake and Professor Merike Stone present twelve timely tips that are sure to entertain and educate. They will show you what makes a zombie, preparing for a zombie outbreak and surviving an undead siege. Based on the YEAR OF THE ZOMBIE Calendar by Olympia’s Blind Cartoonist/Artist Jeff Freels, these helpful tips and words of wisdom could just save your life… In The Event Of A ZOMBIE ATTACK!
The quasi-educational genre film features jumpy grainy film effects and retro style short animated sequences reminiscent of 50′s era instructional films. The short also features commercials for Ziggurat Chemical’s own Zombie Chunks Cereal, and a message from PETZ: People for the Ethical Treatment of Zombies.

My best planning tips for zombie survival (pre-apocalypse) is making a list of the group of people that I am with the most, on any given day. Then I will arrange the list in order of the people I like the least to the ones I love the most. I will use this list to determine who I will push/trip/leave behind in case of any zombie attack that may come in the future, which in turn, lets me live a little longer. I don’t know about you, but that’s probably the best thing I can do to plan ahead.
Yea I just posted for the hell of it. I’m looking to see what every one else has in mind.
@Dzhelasi Lol, brilliant. I’m going to do the same immediately.
The less people that know about yours, the more accurate it can become. So far my mom is ranging between top to mid list for me.
I’m already trying to build up an imunity to helium. Then, by constantly carrying around a canister of the lighter than air gas, when Z-Day arrives I can inhale the gas, float off to safety and keep my spirits up with with my humorous squeeky voice!!
1. Keep in shape. When the zombie apocalypse comes, you’ll likely be traveling on foot, which means carrying your gear. And let’s be brutally honest: you don’t have to outrun the horde, just the fat guy.
2. Pick a (legal) weapon, and learn to use it well. When the time comes, you don’t want to be relying on a gun you haven’t fired, or be swinging an edged weapon you can’t control, do you?
my z day survival guide pick up my trusty cricket bat
then straight around to the mother inlaws and finisher off even though she isn’t one of the walking dead couldn’t think of anything worse than the mother inlaw turning up alive or dead
The best planning I could do for the zombie apocalypse do not include stockpiling goods or guns, because that keeps me in one place with my stash, which might not be safe. Instead, I think the greatest skills I could learn in order to plan for the zompocalypse are to a) learn how to pick locks, for those times when I need to get to safety or find supplies; b) learn how to hotwire a car, as traveling on foot is fine for the most part, but there will be times that I will probably need to travel long distances (plus I’m more afraid that the zombies will be fast ones and not Romero ones) and I’m sure not everyone left their keys in the ignition; and c)learn how to siphon gas from other cars, since our planet is run on gasoline, I could use this for my own car to travel or for a generator. I could say that I could learn to use a gun, which would also be a useful skill, but to be honest, I will never own a gun and my chances of finding guns laying around after a zompocalypse are pretty slim. Instead, I keep a machete, which is useful in many situations.
Wow, I sound like a criminal, or an über zombie geek! I’m definitely the latter. :)
Simple… RUN!
Keep up my practice in giving people accurate dead legs, that way I only need to be able to run faster than them, and keep a crowd of expedable oiks with me, of course
Keep in contact with my mates who are/know tree surgeons – 3 words:-
access
to
chainsaws
Keep up with my martial arts – as we do traditional martial arts and use a variety of weapons (knifes, swords, staves of various lengths, and loads of others) I should be able to pick up most things with an offensive potential and use them effectively.
LOL, we’ve already got our plan in place for the Zombie attack. Myself, and one of my band members are very well armed (he is a serious Guns and Ammo nut) so our plan is to gather up everything from my pantry in one vehicle, everything from his armory in another vehicle and the sound and video equipment into a third vehicle. Each person will be equipped with a two-way radio.
Plan A: We would then make our way to a BJ’s or Sam’s Club or a huge supermarket and two keep a patrol while the others set-up the sound equipment in a location at the furthest end of the parking lot. We would plant mines throughout the parking and alarm sensors and retreat into the store and barricade it. My band mates wife is a seamstress, so we would be having her put together outfits that will be lined on the outside with glass shards and and sharpened metal spikes to make us a difficult meal to digest if one of us gets caught by the zombies. When Zombies approach we would have fun blowing their brains out and filming the entire experience from start to finish. In our downtime we will edit the footage. When there got to be too many Zombies, we would then turn on the sound equipment to lure them from the store and step out and start on a killing spree. If it got to be too much, we would then hit the button to blow-up that area of the lot. Once cleared we would take the inventory from the store and rebuild another sound area in the lot and wait for the next time we had to use it.
Plan B: We head to higher ground and create only one point of attack and keep it well guarded.
I’ve planned on taking over a Costco or another warehouse type store. They would have everything I need from food to medical supplies and clothes to guns! And they have no windows and concrete walls which are a plus.
Alright. I am prior military, prior law enforcement, taken all of the classes, and have an unnatural paranoia when it comes to global disaster. However, I am kind of a procrastinator so I don’t have much besides a small first aide kit, a couple of guns, and a couple of cases of MRE’s. So here is my plan. When the day of the sweeping death and unholy resurrections come I am going to hide my family, go out and find someone who has been preparing for this for a long time and is well stocked. I am going to kill him (sniper style, he will not feel a thing) take all of his stuff, gather my family up, and head deep into the Appalachian Mountains where I will hang out hunting and fishing until it blows over or gets too unsafe, in which case I will travel down the Mississippi river keeping clear or populated areas.
Seems like everyone plans on going to Sams, Costco, Walmart, etc. Those are the places to avoid. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a gun will be trying to take over at one of those which will make for quite the bloodbath, and quite the zombie lure. For smart people, that is the perfect place to avoid and the perfect time to slip away.
Maybe I missed it somewhere, but who won this? I see some pretty good ideas here.
to prepare I would have plenty of slim jims (15,000) and I would have built a shelter with poles metal poles around the house with points on the end I would never ever travel alone and would always have guns and ammo preferably 2 ak 47s, 2 desert eagles, 2 shotguns and a 30 out 6 rifle
