Zombies are taking over the world!

How would you fare if the dead began to rise up to attack and devour the living?

Would you break out the blunt objects and fight your way to a safe zone?

Or cower in a corner and wait for the cavalry?

Now more than ever, there are plenty of resources for you to learn how to cope with the stresses of a zombie apocalypse.

Zombies nowadays are big business. The undead have shuffled a long way since they first lurched onto cinema screens in 1932 in the first feature length flick White Zombie.

Over 80 years later, the living dead and the fear they conjure up for audiences has spread over all forms of entertainment; from literature to films, TV, games and even music (most notably, Michael Jackson’s Thriller).

Here is a list of essential reading and viewing that B.O.R.E recommends you familiarise yourself with, just in case you find yourself surrounded by reanimated corpses with empty stomachs…

Literature

Films

TV

Games
