Shaun of the Dead, 28 Days Later, The Walking Dead, Night of Living Dead. We’ve all thought about it – where to go if a zombie apocalypse exploded in your city or town?
The film World War Z even went as far as to show the chaos that could ensue right here in Scotland, when they filmed the opening scene of the Brad Pitt epic in George Square – spoiler alert, it wouldn’t be pretty.
"But it’s impossible. Zombies don’t exist”, we hear you cry and, while this may be true, it is better to err on the side of caution – nobody wants to be on the menu for a set of walkers if the world does end.
