“The zombies are coming, the zombies are coming!” Yes, this phrase is a misquote from Paul Revere’s famous historical words, which he used to warn the people of Massachusetts of the approaching British Army. While America was no longer wary of a British invasion threatened, we are now faced with a zombie attack – a new enemy that has infiltrated our great nation. Who is this new enemy that we proud and patriotic Americans must face? They are called zombies and they exist among us now .
Zombie lore is such a strong part of American culture that they might as well be actual flesh-eating undead creatures. With zombies now a part of our lives, some people wonder what they would have to do to survive a “possible” zombie attack taking place in their community.
Luckily, Hollywood has created 10 amazing movies that show you how to survive zombies and how to survive zombie attacks. However, keep in mind that there wasn’t actually a zombie attack, and the only way to tell if the zombie survival skills mentioned here really work or not is to face real-world events. Enjoy!

The unique thing about the zombie invasion is that what happens in the movie Fido is that the humans turned the zombies into pets.

In fact, there was a guy in the movie who even had a hot and sexy zombie love pet. I don’t think people should go that far with the undead, but using them to retrieve a stick or play dead is acceptable. Oh, I almost forgot. You don’t play dead.
