Zombie Apocalypse The Movie?

Got a new Twitter follower @ZAthemovie today. Looks like they are trying to put together a rather epic movie. Zombie Apocalypse the movie is being started just now and they are looking for all kinds of help.

Zombie Apocalypse is a film that follows a group of survivors through the apocalypse, hunting the undead and blowing their heads off while avoiding infection and helping others to survive! This will be a down and dirty survival of the fittest battle for life between men, women and the waves of undead corpses. You can help bring this project from “it’s enough to make a Sci Fi channel’esk size movie to enough to include all those kick ass action scenes, great practical special effects and blood gags, cool locations, avoid bad CG (what little we do use), have huge crowds of z’s and make a true theatrical release picture that is awesome.” In essence you are acting like producers and helping determine how big the apocalypse can be with this floating or flexible budget idea.

Here is their @ZAthemovie, here is their FaceBook and here is their website.

Zombie Apocalypse Weapons: 4-in-1 Shovel, Sledge Hammer, Axe, Pick-Axe Combo!

In the Zombie Apocalypse having the right weapon could be the difference between you and your loved ones/survival teams life or death. Today we will be discussing the Pick-Axe. Here at Don’t Get Bit we want to make sure that all of your basics are covered when it comes to on-hand weaponry. A weapon needed to de-animate a brain sucking zombie must be able to either decapitate the head or destroy the brain it holds inside. It is a well known fact that destroying the brain of a zombie by puncturing it with a foreign object or by removing the head from the spine completely de-animates a zombie rendering it safe for disposal. In today’s “Zombie Apocalypse Weapon” discussion we will be looking at the Pick-Axe.

According to Wikipedia (the world-wide source for everything truthful in regards to facts) The pick-axe, sometimes simply known as a pick, is a hand tool with a hard head attached perpendicular to the handle. Some people make the distinction that a pickaxe has a head with a pointed end and a flat end, and a pick has both ends pointed, or only one end; but most people use the words to mean the same thing.

When it comes to Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse eating will be a priority. Since most of us live in cities and suburbs we have become lazy in regards to maintaining our survival skills when it comes to food because we can just jump in our car and head down to McDonald’s or your local grocery store and get what you need. But when the ZA happens there won’t be any more White Castles so catching, preparing and cooking your own food is going to be paramount if your and your Survival Team are going to keep yourselves from starving to death. Today we are going to look at one source of protein… Rabbit. There is a video by Mark Gilchrist of Game For Everything, demonstrating how to prepare a rabbit, including gutting, skinning, boiling whole and picking off the meat to use in a variety of recipes. below the fold.

Ultimate Zombie Survival Team: Brendan Fraser

As an ongoing topic here at Don’t Get Bit we have been assembling Ultimate Zombie Survival Teams. So far we’ve done Teams Alpha and Beta. Zombie Survival Teams who in the Zombie Apocalypse we feel would be most successful or in the case of Team Beta, incredibly unsuccessful. Inspired by this week’s podcast of “How To Survive A Zombie Apocalypse” we have assembled… Ultimate Zombie Survival Team: Brendan Fraser. BF’s movie characters may be he greatest team of zombie survivors ever. That’s right… UZST:BF. Here’s why… In The Mummy, The Mummy Returns and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor he successfully fights the Undead, granted they are mummies… but they are still undead. In Bedazzled he takes on the Devil. In Journey to the Center of the Earth he goes… to the center of the Earth. In Blast from the Past he survives in a bomb shelter for 35 years and his dad is Christopher Walken. In George of the Jungle he can talk to animals which would come in so handy! In Encino Man he gets frozen in ice, thawed out and he has no trouble impressing all the girls and helping Stoney and Dave find the coolness they’ve been searching for.

So you tell me… Ultimate Zombie Survival Team: Brendan Fraser? Epic. Next week… Ultimate Zombie Survival Team: Wesley Snipes.
