Both books are by Max Brooks, the world's leading zombie survival strategist! I don't think there are enough strategies involving music or other sounds to confuse the zombies. I always assume they'd find us through sound, since I doubt zombification would enhance their scent or give them extra senses like the sonar of bats or dolphins or the heat-sensing of snakes and such. I think some speakers blasting the sounds of scared humans screaming could trick tons of zombies into falling off a cliff if placed correctly. Maybe you could rig some lawnmowers into a giant wall of death, kind of like giant blenders, and then wait behind it as they walk through? And dealing with the mountain of corpses is definitely the scariest part. There could easily be a couple living zombies in the middle of the mountain, and an arm or a mouth could just slip out and grab you at any second. Fire could be good, but what if it's some sort of zombie plague that can travel in the zombie-smoke? I'd try to find a new location before the mountain got to big. If you were on a boat, you'd build a mountain of underwater zombies that they could walk on, and then move your boat a little farther out, and keep repeating the process. You could end up with a whole artificial beach made of miles of zombie corpses!
I'm really glad to hear you and your wife have already been discussing zombie survival strategies. I think it's one of the most important things for any couple or family to discuss. My wife and I had a zombie movie marathon for our 2nd date, and that's how I knew she was the one. Well, that and her cooking. When we have kids I think we'll have an escape plan on the wall, and do zombie attack practice drills, hahaha. |
Oh really? I thought it was great when I saw that Max Brooks was the author of the Zombie Survival Guide. I didn't know he had written another book on zombies as well.
Yeah, my wife is kinda strange. She HATES gory movies. But.....she loves zombie movies. The gore doesn't bother her as long as it's a zombie movie for some weird reason.
We do enjoy talking about our zombie invasion plans once in a while. And we do have serious plans. Plans of where to meet if we lose cell phone, land line, and internet communication while we are apart. Locations both locally and out of state in case we had to absolutely leave town while we were apart. We expect these plans are more likely to be used for something like a natural disaster or nuclear war or some such though 8).
