NOTLD 68 - The great debate

[UNDEAD FRED]

One of the best parts of NOTLD 68 for me is where Harry Cooper and Ben argue about barricading themselves in the basement, or boarding up and defending the farm house. What would you of done? Or done differently?

well if i knew help was coming i would have barracaded the basement...and if not i would have hauled ass out of there...

[UNDEAD FRED]

I would of tried to knock down the stairs, take all the supplies up on the second floor. I still would of barricaded the windows better. Get some work done instead of argueing with Harry Cooper. If I barricaded myself in the basement, I would of pushed the Piano in front of the door, knocked out the wheels. But that was still a bad ideal, especially if the house caught fire.

good point...i forgot the original had stairs to the 2nd floor..i suppose i would have just barracaded and knocked out the stairs...

[UNDEAD FRED]

Yes, Ive seen NOTLD 68 30+ times, so these are the crazy things I think about everytime I watch it. NOTLD 90 is fantastic to. Ive seen that movie 15-20 times to.

i wouldnt even worryabout supplies other than the guns...i would just go upstairs and once it got to crazy or there was no signs of help..i would jump outside and run my ass off haha

[UNDEAD FRED]

If I was Ben I would of tried to get gas first thing, before to many zombies surrounded the place, he had a tire iron. you dont have to break the lock, just the pot metal sorrounding the lock.

[AN OLD SHOE]

yeah thats another good idea! those kids in the 90's version were dumb..who shoots a gas pump?

[fester_hicks]

I would have gotten out of the house and made a run for it.

They might have thought the world was done but still....

Was it a mindset back in those days, if you understand....

attic is my pick, zombies can't fly.

They can't fly, but they can start fires.

I would choose higher levels rather than trapped in the basement with no escape.

[detpat]

true, but is it is easier to climb or jump down than tunnel out.

[zmbvan]

Exactly. If you ran out of food in the basement there wouldn't be a way to go out and look for food. Zombies would be blocking the doors. If you jumped from the roof at least you have some chance of getting away. Unless you break a limb from the jump. Most people can't/don't know how to land a big jump.

difficult not to argue with a chump like mr cooper, ben was a good guy, in the event of a zombie outbreak i sure hope i meet someone like that. Ben was right to go for the gas, it would have worked had the others not panicked.
