Around 2:00 am you wake up and realize that your neighborhood has been taken over by zombies, they are already in your living room. What do you take with you as you escape

Shovel. I don't know how well a shotgun would work against zombies considering the only experience I have comes from video games and movies. I'd like to know I have a tool I can use for survival. The shovel can even be used as a weapon in a worst case scenario and unlike a shotgun it never runs out of ammo.

A trusty bat or Shovel... Since I have access to them...

I can grab a shotgun later when I loot a house...

Heck, my dog'd probably use the zombies as chew toys if I hid in the middle of them.

On topic, I would just grab a hand gun. And put it to my head. And say, "fucking zombie topics on my fucking escapist." And then it'd be like...

Fuckin' Persona, *****.

You can be like Will Smith! But I hope your puppy isn't bitten and then transforms into a zombie dog, leaving you to kill it slowly with your bear hands...

On topic
SHOVEL'D.

Bat. If it's good enough for Sean, it's good enough for me. Not to mention shotguns run out of ammo and make noise, and so in my expert zombie-killing opinion (I've been a zombie killer for about seven years now, two of those training in a top college up in Washington state) aren't very reliable, nor safe in the long-term.

However, if these are crazy-ass fast-moving Dawn of the Dead zombies you're talking here, then we is all fucked, and I'd just grab pie in the hopes that each brain I ate from that moment on tasted like my last bite of pie.

Mmm... blueberry brains.

Zombies are impossible, and a zombie apocalypse is out of question.

If zombies WERE possible, they wouldn't stand a chance of surviving even a few weeks of regular weather. And something tells me I could hold back for a few weeks on what I've got in my fridge.

And then again, there's absolutely no mechanism by which dead muscles could somehow move in a meaningful way. Especially if you put emphasis on dead, because after a couple of hours just about any corpse is going to be stiff. Like, really stiff. It wouldn't even be able to climb stairs if it could somehow move, not to mention attack or hunt anything.

Zombies are a shitty monster. Even ancient people who knew little about, well, a lot of things, came up with more threatening monsters. A fucking unicorn, even without it's lust for virgins or magic rainbow shit, is still a million times more formidable then a zombie.

Because at the end of a day, a huge fucking horse can kick your ass, with horn or without. A hunk of dead meat is a hunk of dead meat that's going to rot away and be eaten away by maggots very very fast.

I would take the shotgun and blow my own head off so i wouldn't have to see another one of these threads.

OT: Pie. And I don't even like pie.

This man obviously hasn't read the Zombie Survival Guide.

No, I own a copy, and it's pretty much Twilight but for wanna-be nerds.

Some dipshit making money off a silly trend. Zombies are funny, sure. They're symbolic, sure. But they're an absolutely shitty monster, and zombie scenarios in just about any movie, book, or what not can't be taken seriously.

But then again, pretty much the entire Horror movie industry is like that. Half-assed plots and (I almost want to describe it as retarded, but then again there are plenty of people who watch horror movies for other reasons) fanbase who are willing to swallow any ridiculous cliche plot and act along with it.

In a generic fantasy universe with magic, sure, you might as well have zombies along with animated skeletons, golems (that aren't cleverly disguised robots) and what not, especially if you manage to make a good explanation for how the rules work instead of making a half-ass handwave and saying "it's magic dood".

I'd take a laptop with wireless internet, so I could access any of the THOUSANDS of "what would you do in a zombie apocalypse" threads on The Escapist from anywhere on the road and have all the useful advice from them at my fingertips.

Some knives in a unrippable bag and the keys to my mom's car!
Against a zombie, a knife would be very useful, but against a horde you're screwed.
