Rule #5 Double Knot Your Shoelaces
@Cassie Double knot isn’t bad.
@Tawni Should I put a Twinkie recipe up you think?
There’s a lot of rules that you could learn from the film. Maybe I should start another page for us all to make them up.
i think the quote “nut up or shut up” should be definitely one.
Rule # ? Maintain good hygiene: When soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer like Purell.
Rule # 27 zombies are like mice leave them long enogh in a maze and they will get out so ……….ALL WAYS KILL THEM DON’T TRUST DOORS

Nice set or rules @Barts, any of them legit or you’re able to back them up with an interview or video?
#19 No unnecessary lights or noise.
my ideas for additions (not real… just throwin some things out there)
1. avoid populated cities (intro / getting the map / amusement park)
2. plan ahead (the whole list basically)
3. improvise when needed (shower curtain / hammer)
4. avoid major light and sound (amusement park)
5. always be fully loaded (not shown really)
6. carry extra ammo (amusement park)
7. look before you leap (shooting twinkies / bill murray)
8. always have a melee weapon (baseball bat / banjo / amusement park out of ammo)
9. noise and light can be used as a distraction (drawing zombies away from girls at carnival)
10. use surroundings (swinging ship)
11. dress like a zombie, die like a zombie (murray)
12. water
13. don’t scream (draws more zombies)
14. learn to cook, food expires
15. be careful (there are no doctors)
16. be alert
17. zombies dont know when to stop (injuries dont stop them destroy the brain / wooden doors wont stop them)
18. sunscreen
19. bugspray
20. nut up or shut up
21. hand sanitizer (its a virus… stay clean)
22. fuck clowns (excuse the language)
23. get a hobby
24. virus’s can mutate (idk maybe something can be creative here)
25. use high capacity magazines (double barrels need to be reloaded frequently)
26. shoot fast ones first (zombies dont need to be strong to bite
27. take shifts (zombies know when you at your weakest)
28. strength in numbers (draw them out one by one)
29. if you havent seen it its new (no movies or tv shows in production, but plenty of dvds are available)
30. zombies dont care about age, neither should you (shoot the little fuckers)
just some ideas.. some are alright… not to comedic though 😛
Best source for the best rules: the Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. Its “Top Ten Lessons for Surviving a Zombie Attack” are:
1. Organize before they rise!
2. They feel no fear, why should you?
3. Use your head: cut off theirs.
4. Blades don’t need reloading.
5. Ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair.
6. Get up the staircase, then destroy it.
7. Get out of the car, get onto the bike.
8. Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert!
9. No place is safe, only safer.
10. The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on.
what about the part when the girls are all on the car with the woman whats that rule?
also a good place to be would be a train =) unless the tracks are blocked, don’t stop keep Rollin
@Logan
A train would be good…EXCEPT:
1) It requires fuel
2) Getting Fuel requires leaving the train.
3) Leaving the train may get you killed.
Rule #? A Little off the top wont do
I have a suggestion for everyone, I don’t want to cause any arguments. pick up a copy of The Zombie Survival Guide. Its written by Max Brooks and it is in most humour sections in any book store in Canada and not sure where it would be in American Stores.
Another additional Rule – Blades don’t need reloading (machete, katana, any Japanese Sword or blade works really well
I just got finished watching Zombi 2 and Night of the Living Dead. I am paranoid as hell right now.
Max Brook’s Zombie Survival Guide is awesome.
got these from the zombieland cell phone game that verizon put out. some are wrong but hey some do fill in some blanks.
