The Greatest Zombie Movie Ever blog tour.

Welcome to my stop on Jeff Strand's THE GREATEST ZOMBIE MOVIE EVER blog tour! Zombies, mishaps and madness, books don't get much funnier than this! On my stop, Jeff will be sharing his Top 6 Weapons You Need For The Zombie Apocalypse. And of course, there's a giveaway where you could win one of two copies!

So... Other than the zombies, what is this hilarious book about?

Summary: After producing three horror movies that went mostly ignored on YouTube, Justin and his filmmaking buddies decide it’s time they create something noteworthy, something epic. They’re going to film the Greatest Zombie Movie Ever. They may not have money or a script, but they have passion. And, after a rash text message, they also have the beautiful Alicia Howtz—Justin’s crush—as the lead. With only one month to complete their movie, a script that can’t possibly get worse, and the hopes and dreams of Alicia on the line, Justin is feeling the pressure. Add to that a cast of uncooperative extras and incompetent production assistants, and Justin must face the sad, sad truth. He may actually be producing The Worst Zombie Movie Ever.

And now for Jeff's...

Top 6 Weapons You Need For The Zombie Apocalypse

The zombie apocalypse is only a few months away, and no amount of whining will change that. So you're going to need weapons. Because I'm enough of a sweetheart to not want you to die a horrible death when the hordes of the living dead arrive at your door, I present you with six helpful weapons to get you through this unpleasant time.

1. A Tank. You can't go wrong with a tank. Get yourself a tank in the zombie apocalypse (or any other situation) and your chances of survival just got better by a wide margin. For those who wish to relax as society crumbles, this is really your best bet. Are they difficult to acquire? Yes, I suppose. Are they worth it? Definitely.

2. A Baseball Bat With Lots of Spikes On It. Little known fact: since the 1930's, professional baseball players have achieved their level of skill by envisioning that the baseball is a tiny zombie head. Yep, decades before the current zombie craze, baseball players were pretending to whack the undead! (Don't look it up--I wouldn't lie to you.) Sadly, they aren't allowed to have spikes in their bats, but you aren't governed by the rules of Major League Baseball, so spike that baby up!

3. A Thumbtack.  Is it an effective weapon? No. It's really better suited to those uproariously funny pranks where you place one on somebody's chair and they sit on it and let out a yelp and everybody feels merry for the rest of the day. But, if you do successfully kill a zombie with a thumbtack, none of the other human survivors will ever mess with you. High risk, but high yield.

4. A Friend. Shoving your friend into a zombie is not a classy move, but your friend won't have long to resent you.

5. A Cow With Explosives Strapped To Its Back. Basically, you just send the cow out into a great big crowd of zombies, and remotely detonate the explosives. Obviously, this only works once per cow. As with shoving your friend above, there's an element of this where you have to acknowledge that you've lost your humanity. You'll get over it.

6. A Persuasive Argument About Why The Zombie Should Not Eat You. Not recommended.

About the author: Jeff Strand wrote the script for the short film Gave Up the Ghost, which has zombies in it for a few seconds, and was an associate producer on the short zombie film Chomp. In the event of an actual zombie attack, he would run around crying and screaming, “We’re all doomed!” and contribute very little to everybody’s chances for survival. He’s written a bunch of other books, including I Have A Bad Feeling About This and A Bad Day for Voodoo. Check out this website at jeffstrand.com.
