Preparing for Z-Day -- Not as Easy as You Think
Scott Glancy — Fri, 2009-05-15 04:00
Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse is all about preparation, because even if you aren’t ready for Z-Day, the zombies will be. Of course, the subject of preparation can be approached as simply a problem of logistics; Do I prepare for a siege or prepare to escape? What supplies fit my budget? What kind of weapons should I buy? Etc. Most of these kinds of questions have already been sufficiently addressed by Max Brooks in his indispensable Zombie Survival Guide. But Mr. Brooks misses a few things. One of the most critical things he misses is what I consider to be the most dangerous thing about preparing for Z-day: the social stigma.
I know it’s hard to believe, but not everyone understands the impending (hopefully) zombie crisis like we do. There are always going to be doubters, and it is their refusal to face reality that can get the rest of us killed. I myself am pretty lucky on this point in that I married the right woman. In our separately composed wedding vows both of us mentioned zombie preparedness. We promised to love, honor, top off each others magazines and put each other down when the zombies finally break through the barricades. I chose my partner wisely. But not everyone does.

First of all allow me to thank and commend Andrew Migliore not only for publishing this letter, but for continuing his efforts in the field of raising the general public's awareness of the Un-Dead threat. Now in its fourth year, the Undead Film Festival, AKA: Zompire has been bringing the Pacific Northwest the very cutting edge of informational debriefings. From two minute shorts to the feature length, what Migliore presents to you, in one weekend is of dire value the whole calendar year. As funny ha-ha as some of the Zompire fare may be, it is at its core “infotainment”. Information dressed up in wooden stakes and cricket bats that can be used to keep you breathing and thinking one more day ahead of the shambling, flesh eating pack. But information is like luck; it's a neutral idea, it can both be good or bad.
Ana Argento, an accomplished cartoon artist yet frustrated with her relationships, meets two other strange characters with peculiar lives. Tom is a chronic cataleptic who ironically is a life insurance salesman, and Daniel Torres is a sociopath and rapist coroner who has a peculiar method. He induces catalepsy by pouring a voodoo potion on girls drinks and they are sent to the morgue. When they are sent there, he is waiting to rape and strangle them unsuspiciously. His plans tend to go wrong when Tom wakes up from his catalepsy when Daniel is in the Morgue.
A satirical treatise on friendship, regret, and the nature of evil under the guise of a rootin'-tootin' zompire buddy movie.
