That will require a very large group of people and the logistics are likely to large to be carried out succesfully. Thinks of all the doors you would have to barricade? If only one window gets broken you will have a full on invasion with no succesfull way out.

Congratulations! You scored 75%!
Whether through ferocity or quickness, you made it out. You made the right choice most of the time, but you probably screwed up somewhere. Nobody's perfect, at least you're alive.

Well I picked the handgun and was somewhat nice to people most of the time. I also traveled light, taking ammo, better guns, food, and medical supplies.

Am I the only one who would gladly join them? It would be cool to be a zombie. You can do just about whatever you please. You get to be in the movies all the time. What a great life...

Yeah but think how nice it would be once everyone is finally gone and you can just move into a gigantic house and drive around their cars.

I don't know, but I do know they need to make the next Resident Evil staged on a large college campus. So many possibilities.

I really think the best vehicle availabe during such an attack would be a helicopter. I can't think of a single land vehicle other than a tank which would work better. Luckily I have two people in my crew who know how to fly a helicopter succesfully in Flight Simulator and we live nearby to a public airfield with the needed supplies.

If we get hit by zombies, can I go find you :p.[/quote]

Sure I live in Western WI, so hopefully the spread starts on one of the coasts giving me proper time to finalize plans.[/quote]

Wait, in Dawn of the Dead 2004, didn't the infection start in Wisconsin?

Either way, one of our closest friends owns a gun store, and he's got quite an arsenal. From pistols to fully automatic rifles.

We also have a friend with a 1950's house...complete with an underground cement bunker with enough provisions to last 12 people (his immediate family back then) for 40 days.

Yes, I'm safe.

Hypothetically if there was a zombie attack similar to the original "Dawn of the Dead" or "Night of the Living Dead" I like to think I've created a good plan for getting out alive. I know I should spend my time better but my friends and I talk about this a lot. Am I just crazy or have any of you thought about this, and would you survive? I know for fact if the zombies could run like in the '04 "Dawn of the Dead" I would last five minutes.

I know those zombies had like superpowers. I definitely would need a fast durable car or lots of friends that well prepared and aware with many weapons.

What are you going to do when the helicopter runs out of fuel?

Congratulations! You scored 86%!
You made it out, alive and well supplied. You probably even kept most of your party alive too. You know what to look for, what to take, and when to just run. You even feel a strange inkling to go back. If you did, you'd probably do just fine.

75%?!?! Who is the guy that wrote this test and what makes him the expert? I say I would survive. The main thing everyone does wrong in a zombie movie is they try to save someone who's already dead. Like in the remake when they tried to save the gun store buddy. Yeah, THAT turned out well!

If a zombie attack broke out in Canada, we're all royally fscked.. but the zombies will probably like us and just ask for directions to the States ;)

That cost them the mall, and people. They did get guns and ammo though.
