errr nick a gun and shootn em all, and theundeadhero would save us
This is by far one of the greatest threads this year, I wager.
Situation - The whole world is slowly being consumed, there are few places left where the undead haven't invaded.
Best Course Of Action - The wisest thing to do right now would be climbing into your *loft, if you have one. Zombie's cannot climb. They can stumble up stairs, maybe even ladders, but there is no way they can climb into a loft.
Evidence To Support This Claim - Night Of The Living Dead. The only way the guy with the daughter and wife survives is by hiding up in the loft. While the main character is walking around outside almost getting eaten, he's safe and sound up in the loft.
Another piece of evidence is that it is common knowledge that Zombies cannot move fast, or really take in what's around them. This is because they are the reanimated corpses of the dead, therefore they have little control over their bodies, because the body has died. They have little intelligence because their brain has been rotting for who knows how long. Even if this is not so, their brain has still been dead for a long time; it will never function correctly again. They would not see a loft, or understand what it was.
Situation - You are one of the first to spot the zombies; they have only just started invading.
Best Course Of Action - The classic, the wonderful, the mall. This is a heavenly place during a Zombie attack, there's a reason why it has appeared in two zombie movies, Dawn Of The Dead and Dawn Of The Dead (remake). But take heed of the problems encountered in the movie, do not let infected in. Save as many people as possible, but make sure it's people you're saving.
Evidence To Support This Claim - The mall has more than any house, but with complete security. Lock the place down, and those Zombie's aren't getting in. It's a good place to stay for as long as you'd like, but not forever.
Types Of Zombie - Now, there are quite a few different types of Zombie. Each has weaknesses and strengths.
Lurkers - Romero's "Lurkers" are the classic, and most scientifically correct Zombies. They are corpses, brought back to life, with a few body functions, and a hunger for the flesh of other humans. Why it's only humans has been explored in Day Of The Dead, and proven in Dawn Of The Dead (remake) with the dog scene.
Something else interesting, a Lurker was trained in Day Of The Dead. If you remember correctly, he mourned the death of the professor, and managed to learn how to use a gun, at the very end of the movie. The life expectancy of Lurkers is unknown, but it is believed to be forever. This is scientifically incorrect, however, as they are technically alive, and will age just as humans do.
When you are bitten by a Lurker, you turn into one, yourself. Now, this would make sense if the bite killed you, but there is no reason to suggest that you would turn if you had just had a little bit of a scuffle and bitten, not badly, and lived. The only explanation behind this is, ultimately, that it is a virus that creates Zombies, which is something I'll explore in the next section.
Infected - A common belief is that Zombies are human beings infected with a virus, that makes them go crazy. Similar to animals with rabies. The name of this disease differs, as does the effects. In 28 Days Later the disease is called "Rage" and causes humans to lose all resemblance to whom they once were and go into a state of volatile violent rage.
The disease has gone by other names, however, and has other effects. In the Resident Evil games, it's been known as "The T-Virus". Now, other than just creating Zombies, the T-Virus creates hideous mutations in humans, turning them into monsters. The T-Virus was created by Umbrella, and is a chemical. When mixed with different things it creates different monsters, I presume.
Neo-Lurkers - Lurkers to the extreme, they have no similarities to their first form. Featured in Dawn Of The Dead (remake) they are fast, and deadly. Worse than 28 Days Later's Infected, because they are still traditional Zombies, and can only be killed via traditional means, removing or destroying the brain.
Conclusion - My plan would remain the same. Depending on how many there are, the *loft or the mall are the best places to be. And you can't rely on the army too much, either...
*Loft - A mostly English term meaning the room above your house, under your ceiling.

The undead hero would indeed be handy, but only with the support of Ash.. and possibly the number 1 Ash fanboi Maxx Power - for some reson.

Why would you call a giant lobster!?
I would personally call Barry Burton to deal with the zombie situation...and then i would grab my dads shotgun and do some killing i suppose.
I'd go back to bed.

I'd get a 48 pack of beer, get all my friends (each having a gun of course). Then go on top of my roof with thousands of top ramen packets, and water, and have a good time. Oh yeah and some theme music.
I'd call the master of unlocking.
Well, getting ahold of a gun would be rather hard for me, so I'd do the next best thing; Run away screaming.
It always works!
Well, not really. But it feels like it's working until you get eaten. And that's all that matters!
=D

seriously I don't think there's any way you could blend in with them. The way fiction has it they seem to smell fresh meat and would probably be onto you like Russell Crowe spotting a married actress
...Geddit?
Follow everything written in this book, which I fortunately have.
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
MMmmmmm....brains...I wonder what they taste like? Perhaps being a zombie gives brains that extra little spiece of goodness that they crave so much
