I have to amit, that would be an awesome place to live...if you assume you have a helicopter to go up their.
Everyone knows the best zombie, nay, total apocalypse residence is an abandoned missile silo. Reinforced concrete walls and buried in the earth designed to survive nuclear detonations with steel blast doors...nothing short of the cast of the Italian Job is getting in. Geothermal, solar, and reserve fossil fuel power sources. Enough cubic meters to house several families and for hydroponics/storage. Communication lines. Remote location. It's perfect. This is assuming you have the multi-millions of dollars to purchase and retrofit a site to an apocalypse-ready state.
They should have used gorilla glass...all those shutters will make it hard to taunt the zombies.
The huge garage door is a fail though.dogstile said:It folds up into a concrete barrier. I suppose that kinda offsets the glassTimeLord said:Nope, This is [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/anti-zombie-fortress]!
And £5 says it works better than that technological failure
Why? It has glass. Never hide in a building that has glass in a zombie apocalypse. Let alone a building with a glass outer wall!
Plenty of zombie-proof houses, shelters and shopping centres were used as shelters in the Romero trilogy. The real trouble comes when the next group of heavily armed humans wants to take over the place (even though there's plenty of space for all involved, ala Dawn of the Dead). Or where the eventual power struggle occurs, with both sides having at the back of their minds the 'weapon of mass destruction' option (opening the gates to let the zombies in).
Rule number 1 of Romero zombie films: the zombies aren't the problem that you need to be worried about. It's the people, and the decaying rotten corpse of society that is teetering on the verge of collapse. The zombies are just the slight push that speeds up the inevitable.

That's probably ironic, but still not as ironic as if we were all made of iron.RedEyesBlackGamer said:
Okay, I hate to break this to everyone once again. There is no way to survive a zombie apocalypse.

A mosquito bites a zombie it now has the virus it comes into your home and bites you. Dead. A mosquito bites a zombie, then a dog, or a horse. BAMB zombie dogs and or horses. This really can work for any insect or anything at all that consumes other life.
Viruses can pass between species so there your screwed. Unless you make a self sustaining ecosystem with no possible way in or out and its 100% bug proof. Your dead.

Actually they did. They imported some zombies from Japan to test its ability to protect its inhabits and 9/10 of the test subjects survived... A critical success!The_root_of_all_evil said:
it's a bleeding eyesore.
Also... does it lock the zombies out? Or lock you in with the one or two that manage to get in before those huge hatches close? In the dark, because the powers been cut and theres no source of natural light in there - it needs a skylight, that covers the entire roof, made from bulletproof glass.
