Halloween will be here in a matter of days and we’re in the thick of preparation at our home. Costumes are in the final stages of completion, cookies are being decorated (and eaten), and decorations still need to be fluffed and inflated. Yes, I did say inflated. It’s the totally lazy approach we’ve taken to decorating the front of the house the last few years.
We survived the big holiday party weekend―or did we? Reports of zombie sightings and hallucinations have crept into the news. Monday night the channel five news reported a zombie hallucination that led to a neighborhood shooting. Will we have a replay of 2012? Need you be reminded of the horrid zombie attacks that were thought to be caused by Cocaine psychosis? They said bath salts were to blame. It was a terrible episode of…well…true zombie behavior.
Just a few months ago a major crash was caused in Southern California by a young man who believed he was honestly trying to shake zombies from his car at the time. While driving a stolen car erratically he proceeded to slam into a number of various vehicles.
Given the popularity of shows like The Walking Dead we can expect to see a lot of zombies on the street this Halloween. How can we tell the make-believe from the real thing? If an outbreak suddenly occurred, like in World War Z, would you know what to do? Fear not! I have everything you’re looking for right here…
Feeling better prepared? Still feeling unprepared? Amazon can help you with that. They have the ideal zombie survival kit for everyone. This one’s a great place to start. If you want to take it a step further and secure safe transport, just in case, then here’s the latest in zombie survival transport. 😉
You should be feeling pretty prepared for the on-coming zombie apocalypses now.
Still not convinced? Take The Walking Dead Personality Quiz to get an idea how you would fare in such a situation. Anybody get Daryl? I’d like to know. I’m sharing my results with you below. Looks like I went mental this year (insider joke for those who watch the show). 😀
Zombies or not, are you prepared for the next big disaster? Every home should be prepared for the local hazard. Be it earthquake, tornado, hurricane, you name it. Have a plane in place and kits are definitely handy to have, as well. In the car and in the home. When you’re thinking disaster, don’t forget the more common destroyer of lives—fire.
Are you prepared/Do you have plan in place? Is your entire family familiar with the plan and is everyone cinched to the same emergency call list? Just a few things to think about.

Thanks for stopping by! I truly appreciate your support. Until next time, au revoir.
Well I’m bummed out. I thought – based on the title – your post was going to be about me. 😉
I do actually have a plan in place in case of a zombie attack. To put on my running shoes and hang around people I don’t like. Then when the zombies show up, all I have to do is run faster than they do. 😀
LOL. You’re funny. Only, now you’ve made your plan public so I know what’s what if you end up hanging out with me come world end. Yep, gotcha!
I’m pretty sure Kristy has the best idea! I need to keep my running shoes handy.
Our zombie survival plan involves machetes, bow and arrows, and fire. We don’t watch The Walking Dead, so I’m hoping this plan will work. If not, as Kristy says, I just have to run faster than someone else.
Did you see the part about zombies on fire? Fire zombies bad. 😀 Goodness, now I know not to hang with either one of you at the very end. I’ll be zombie bait for sure! Hahaha
Heck no, we wouldn’t leave you behind, Debra. The three of us can link elbows and skip away like the Three (female) Stooges, leaving everyone else to provide invading zombies with supper. 😀
We need to hang with Tameri though, so each grab a machete. Can’t run during a zombie invasion without big knives in our hands, can we, Tameri? 😉
Is that similar to running with scissors? Any weapon that won’t run out of ammo should be good.
Ha ha ha. Now wouldn’t that be a sight to see. 😀
I’m just wondering – if those zombies were heading south in 2007 (when the video was made) how far have they gotten? Surely they’ve passed through California and are heading toward Argentina by now. I think I’m safe.
But, I do have a chainsaw and a hatchet just in case.
Thanks for sharing those fascinating facts.

Well…leave it to Patricia to get all smart. 😉 Yep, I guess you’re safe. Or they’re all hiding in your garage or basement. *insert maniacal laughter here*
A chainsaw is only good until you run out of gas. Think long haul. The hatchet should do you fine, unless you find yourself in a swarm. Then…I’m sorry. 🙁
You’re welcome. I know you were dying to know those facts and I was more than happy to send them your way. 😀 Right-
I hope there aren’t any zombie sightings this year! I’ll have my running shoes on, just in case. LOL.
There’s a yard that gets decked out every year for every holiday. They have zombies and ghouls. It’s a month-long process to decorate that yard. The zombies have been waving to passersby for about three weeks. I think I can outrun them.
Are those zombies staked in place so that they can’t run after you? 😉 Possibly caged? I bet this is the house you posted a picture of last year, eh? We used to deck our house up every year. The process always began at the beginning of the month and we would be pushing to finish in time for the big event. I’m so glad we don’t do that anymore. Now that I’m writing and blogging (that’s questionable – LOL) I have trouble finding time for the common things we used to do every year. The youngest is upset that we haven’t done our pumpkins yet. Oh no. Think we’ve run out of time. 🙁
P.S. I bet you are an excellent runner.
I am an avid fan of walking dead. I watched 3 hours yesterday (episodes 1-3) in order to get caught up. It seems to be a good teaching show as it keeps true to course as to how it would be.
I watch that show with my husband. Since we haven’t actually had a zombie outbreak it is really all theory, but it does seem rather close to what things would be like. They’ve changed things from year one to make it easier for their storyline so you have to wonder, would zombies be able to smell the living flesh as they could in s1, or would humans be able to hide and/or camouflage their scents as they have since. Then there are movies like World War Z were the zombies can practically run at top speed. Would that be a possibility? I’d like to think they would be slow and dumb, not having access to their higher brain functions, but we should always be prepared for the worse. Right?
I ended up as Rick. I guess I’m not ruthless enough to be Daryl. 😉 Shovels are my weapon of choice against zombies. Never need reloading, unlikely to get stuck in a skull, and keeps me away from biting jaws.
Ha ha! Smart thinking with the shovel. I also got Rick. I think it shows you’re leader rather than a follower. Notice how Daryl may be ruthless, but he doesn’t care to call the shots. Thanks for playing, Serena.
