Apocalyptic How-Tos

The 'Guide to Zombie Survival' Helps You Endure Flesh-Eaters

— October 24, 2011 — Pop Culture
Should the zombie apocalypse rise due to a scientist testing out a new drug or some 15-year-old raising the dead with some enchantment, make sure you get a good look at the Guide to Zombie Survival.

The folks at HCC Medical Insurance Services are gracing the public with the Guide to Zombie Survival just in case flesh-eaters do come after us. From the looks of it, they've been fairly thorough in going through the undead archetypes that appear in most movies. The chart displays the zombies you'll likely encounter, the essentials of a survival kit and an infection chart displaying information on how fast it'll take for one to change depending on where the bite is. The only thing missing here is the best weapons to use. So just remember: use what you can, aim for the head and double tap.
Trend Themes
1. Zombie Survival - The rise of zombie apocalypse scenarios requires businesses to offer survival guides and products, such as anti-zombie sprays and fortified shelters.
2. Apocalyptic Guides - The growing interest in prepper culture and survivalism demands the creation of more specialized guides and products, such as doomsday bunkers and post-apocalyptic first aid kits.
3. Undead Entertainment - The enduring popularity of zombies as a cultural icon provides opportunities for businesses to create zombie-themed experiences, such as escape rooms and immersive theater shows.
Industry Implications
1. Insurance - Insurance companies can create specialized coverage for zombie-related injuries and property damage, as well as partnerships with survival kit providers.
2. Survival Gear - Manufacturers of survival gear can create specific products for zombie scenarios, such as zombie-proof clothing and weapons, and target the prepper and survivalist demographics.
3. Entertainment - Entertainment companies can develop content and experiences that cater to the undead craze, such as zombie-themed movies, TV shows, video games, and theme park attractions.
