Thread: Zombie Apocalypse Theme

Tweet

Hi All,

I found some great information on other threads that relate to a Zombie Apocalypse theme, however I wanted to create a thread specific to it. I've included below links to other threads that have some good info, so you don't have to repost stuff from other threads.

For an example of a great Brochure Invitation and some games, see the following thread:
2010 Party Ideas & Plans

For an example of a great video and CDC letter invite, see the following forum:
2009 INVITE - REC/Quarantine Spin


For some great ideas about food, see the following thread:
Zombie party

Please post ideas for a Zombie Apocalypse Theme including invites, props, decorations, etc.

For an awesome Zombie music list, see the following thread:
Help me decorate for a Halloween party!

Ok, So I'm doing a zombie apocalypse theme for Halloween 2010. I plan on starting with a "save the date" type CDC letter invitation similar to the one in the link above. Then, closer to the date, I'm going to send a newspaper/newsletter.

I wanted to get some feedback on the newspaper/newsletter. I'm not that great at writing and imagery, but I tried to put something together. See below for the three pages of the newspaper. let me know what you think.

Any feedback or suggestions for revisions are welcome.

Here's a thread that talked about decorations: Zombie Attack!

Hi all,

So, I created a "video reminder" to be sent out the last week before the zombie apocalypse party this year. They'll get all the information for the actual party with the invite.

I'd really love to hear what you think and I am embrace any suggestions and feedback. Below is the link.

Love the editing. Why dont you either do your own voice over or do some text in between the cuts so you dont use the terminator voice. Other than that, I love it. Would like to see some zombie jump at the screen at the very end though scaring the crap out of your guests.

That's terrific! Really sets the mood for the zombie apocalypse.

Man I love it! My suggestions are similar to the others regarding John Connors voice. Or at least clip the audio just a bit before the "This is John Connor" part. That could be enough on the audio. Then maybe have the zombies approaching last a little longer, even with just the silence.

Another thought for the end is somewhere (trying to think of where) I remember a clip of a reporter getting attacked by zombies, the camera falls to the ground and keeps recording sideways while you see zombie feet shuffling by. That might not be a bad ending.

Great work! As it stands right now I would just add some text to the end for your general "don't forget" message and you are done. Do the other edits only if you have enough time.

Great advice guys!! Thanks!

I'll have to go back to the cutting board and see what I can do. See what other zombie clips I can find.

Peniwise, at the beginning of Zombieland, there's a clip of a guy being killed and dropping the video camera, then the zombie sticking is face in the camera. I know that's not the clip you mean, but that might work.

Kenswift, I'm thinking about using a clip from Rec2 trailer for zombie jumping at screen. That might work.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do about John Connor voice yet. I'll probably try the three different suggestions and see which I like.

Terra, Thanks for the enthusiasm! Much appreciated.

Thanks guys!

I would do a combo of the two ideas. What do you think of this:

1. Leave all the John Connor stuff in except the very end where he says "This is John Connor..." Just leave it blank, or have some background sound while it goes through those images.

2. End with either the clip of the camera falling to the ground, or the zombie coming at the camera.

I love it... btw - I get to use it too right? heh

Thanks again for the post.
