Howdy Y'all,
Let's see,
The first George Romero film 'Night of the Living Dead" , the color remake of 'Night of the Living Dead' were shot in Pennsylvania. The sequel 'Dawn of the Dead' was shot in Italy. The first 'Day of the Dead' was shot in Florida, while the second 'Day of the Dead' (written by Romero) was shot in Bulgaria (see the IMdB). "Land of the Dead" (originally titled 'Dead Reconing') was shot in Canada.
From the 'Zombie Survival Guide' and 'World War Z' I have gleaned the following. The only sure way to destroy a Romero zombie is to destroy the brain. You can destroy the body to a great degree, even decapitation, and still leave a set of snapping jaws lying to chomp on someone's ankle. The Battle for Yonkers proved that all of the hi-tech weapons, including thermobaric weapons would not necessarily kill zombies. Zombies that had their lungs and trachea hanging out of their mouths from the negative pressure of the thermobaric weapons were up and walking shortly after the attack. Mines took off legs, rockets blew away body parts, but unless the brain was destroyed the dead came ahead, if all they could do was crawl.
Good weapons against the undead are semi-automatic carbines and pistols (provided you train well enough to produce head shots on moving targets), and scoped rifles. Close range weapons include machetes, hatchets, katanas, wakazashis, hammers, and the always useful crowbar.
If I was transported to the world of the Living Dead I would want my Savage Model 12 BVSS bolt action rifle in 7.62x51 with the 6x20 Nikon Monarch scope, and a lot of ammo (to stand off and hold a safe position, or shoot escape corridors if necessary), my Ruger Mini-30 in 7.62x39 with as much ammo with at least 6 20 round magazines, my Springfield Arsenal 'G.I. .45' and it's Wilson magazines, my Cold Steel Warrior Katana and it's matching Tanto. I have a good pack to carry the ammo, food, medic kit (I'm an EMT2), and two weeks of MREs, and a full camelback, and my mountain bike. If I get to take my 4x4 van the list of supplies is significantly multipied. I am part of a disaster team that was originally formed for the Y2K flop, but then bolstered by the Loma Prietta Earthquake, and we have a pre-arrainged rally point to the east, and an abandoned logging mill we plan to use as a temporary base if a major disaster causes the Bay Cities and the Central Vally to fall into Chaos. Our latest concern is that N. Korea may have nuclear capable missles that can reach San Francisco, producing a fallout plume that would spread directly over the Central Valley. Anything that stops the food resupply for three days, or the water supply for 48 hours will have these cities in open revolt. Not good! We are all ex-military/LEO and ex or current national lab workers, so we can rely on each other in a pinch.
