Zombie survival tactics.
How to survive a zombie attack:
1. Don't panic.
2. Get away from the zombies. Most of the time, you can move faster than they can.
3. Gather food, water, an emergency radio, flashlights and weapons, and retreat to a secure location.
4. If possible, retreat to a shopping mall, general retail store or other location where you'll have easy access to food and supplies.
5. Stay away from heavily populated areas, where the infestation is likely to be heaviest.
6. Barricade all entrances and stay put at all costs.
7. Don't get surrounded or backed into a corner or other enclosed space.
8. Remember that anyone bitten or killed by a zombie will become a threat to you and your party.
9. Wait patiently for rescue and make long-term preparations for your survival.
Also, avoid common mistakes like:
* Sheltering in a vehicle to which you do not have the keys
* Leaving blades, cudgels or other basic weapons out for zombies to find
* Teaching zombies how to use firearms
* Giving your only weapon to anyone who is hysterical
* Retreating to a basement or cellar without taking supplies with you
* Getting into an elevator in a building infested with zombies
* Letting personal feelings and arguments get in the way of survival

In the interest of Halloween, I couldn't resist posting this. The actual article is kind of interesting as well, explaining the origins of the Haitian Zombie legends and such.
If I had more time, I'd add a few more things to this list. It would be based on all the things that characters that die in horror movies do, even though you yell at them not to do it, because they're just asking to get attacked/killed/zombified/whatever.
Maybe I'll add my contributions later :) Post your own ideas, if you like.
Happy Halloween!
