Probably just propaganda though, when have half of us believed anything the government anyway ?

A double barrel?? Oh you poor amateur. You're not going to last very long if you have to reload every 2 shots.
The real pros pack the AA-12 full auto with a 20 round drum. It's the only way you're going to remove 20 zombie heads in under 30 seconds

That is too much to remember! A personal Top 5 should do it... I'm still considering on the last one.

This video cuts out just before the "reanimation process", but its the best zombie explanation I've seen out of any of the other genre related movies, books, etc...

I'd love to read this article... But, FoxNews has stupid website that forces mobile phones to their mobile site on incoming links. Ugh.

On another note, preparation for a zombie outbreak really is a lot like preparing for a disaster. Usually it involves supply gathering, advanced preperation, and general readiness. Props to CDC for creativivity I guess.

It wouldn't be too surprising to see some "group" come out with a "virus" that would do simuler things. After all, the brain is a very sensative piece of equipment.

Destroy the higher brain functions, logic, and reasoning.. and what are you left with? Basic animalistic behavior.

They already have, its called "TV."

Yeah, I've seen that movie too. Out of all the zombie humor flicks though, 'Sean of the Dead' still reigns supreme. That being said, I'm more fond of the less tongue and cheek, more based on "reality"-like stories about the Walking Dead:

-Dawn of the Dead (the orginal, not the silly remake) The whole original 'Dead' trilogy actually
-The Walking Dead (Comic series or AMC series)
-I am Legend (the Book, not the movie which were wayyyyyy different). The closest they've come was "The Last Man on Earth' with Vincent Price - 1964
-28 Days Later (which I hate to admit I like, because.... well... if you know me, you'll know why Danny Boyle, Alex Garland, and I will always have beef)

Big fan of George Romeo here!


Let's not forget this medium/low budget awesome classic from Italian director Lucio Fulci - ZOMBIE . Check it out it's available on Youtube [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1Gquf_Pc-0]--->HERE

Havent you guys played zombies on COD?? Why waste your ammo and money?? You will just die in the end. =)

I've seen it! And I'm a fan. Some of the better looking zombies do come out the foreign flicks. Have you ever seen the Russian Aerial video of the zombie attack. Complete bs I know, but still well done bs

But the cdc is sounding like conspiracy theorist. Strange

reply to post by Mactire



That video was circulated here at ATS by some members a couple years back. Wasn't taken very seriously though once the source was revealed. Cool nonetheless

reply to post by claireaudient



I think this may be a tongue in cheek nod to the youtube survival community. The tactical and survival community on youtube has bee doing a "zombie apocalypse" tag game the past couple weeks and its gone viral so to speak.
In fact, I was tagged the other day and just finished my zombie apocalypse video:

Either way, I think this is where the cdc got the idea for the blog.

Perhaps surprisingly, the same steps you'd take in preparation for an onslaught of ravenous monsters are similar to those suggested in advance of a hurricane or pandemic.

Seems to me the duct tape lobbyists are at it again.

for those with weak memories:
hurricanes - duct tape
anthrax scare - duct tape
swine flu - duct tape
zombies - duct tape

People are playing way too many video games. There are no such things as zombies. If you read the article they admit it's a publicity stunt. Where did all the intelligent ATS people go? Did they quit? lol

I guess it's more believable than aliens.

It could actually happen, man...

We should buy stock in duct tape.

It's obviously very useful

reply to post by Crakeur


Only necrophiliacs will need duct-tape during the zombie apocalypse.

Show me a single credible source. One of a real flesh eating zombie.

I have a very open mind. Radiation poison kills you. In the history of man not a single person has died from it and awoke a zombie. Please show me I'm wrong.

I noticed you had a site in your reply the first mention of zombies was a creation in a movie. No religion mentions one. There has never been a single documented account of one. This rage is from video games. My ten year old son plays them, it's pure fantasy.

Aliens same thing. a Movie creation. At first they were Martians remember? Well we researched Mar's and guess what. They proved their weren't any. So now they are Aliens. Look up the definition of Alien.
