Taken from here





Here's mine -

Overall Theme for the Apocalypse - Daughtry - Maybe We're Already Gone ((The theme suggests that maybe the humans have already lost the fight, maybe our time is already over. No hope of rescue, only gotta move forward, survive as long as we can...))

First Zombie Kill - Asia - Light The Way ((Lit gasoline-dipped arrow struck the first zombie, setting them on fire. Watch the zombie run into the crowd flailing and engulfed in flames.))

Chased by the Horde - Meatloaf - Everything Louder than Everything Else ((A running scene involving a lot of screaming, while uncontrollably shooting a machine gun randomly, that hits everything from light bulbs and glass to cars and gasoline pumps, causing big explosions))

Forced to kill loved one - Jake Owen - Apple Pie Moonshine (("You always made the best apple pie...with moonshine as the secret ingredient...", last words before I blow their brains out))

New Love Interest - Bon Jovi - Seat Next To You ((As in, "Mind if I have this seat next to you?"))

Final Stand - Fall Out Boy - Don't you know who I think I am ((Heck yeah I'm a samurai ninja cyborg assassin who just bashed your faces in with nunchucks! One line fits the next song though..."They say quitters never win, but we walk the plank on a sinking ship..."))

I (think) I made it through... - Swashbuckle - We Sunk Your Battleship ((We were actually fighting zombie pirates in the final stand, and victoriously sunk their ship! Here I wander off alone, bottle of pirate rum in hand, thinking the fight for survival is all over...))

Discover I have a bite mark - Sonata Arctica - Everything Fades to Gray ((I sit on the shore, drinking my rum and watching the post-apocalyptic sunset. Slowly my vision fades...as everything fades to gray...))



Welp there's mine, your turn! XD

I haven't done one of these

I haven't done one of these in forever! Rather amazed I didn't end up cheating either lol.

'Shake it Out' by Florence and the Machine
"And all of the ghouls come out to play, and every demon wants his pound of flesh, but I like to keep somethings for myself."

'A Stray Child' Silent Hill Soundtrack

'Aye Aye Aye' by Santana (obviously I'm tangoing away...)

'The Breaking of the Fellowship' LoTR soundtrack (Well damn if that isn't heart-breakingly fitting.)

'The Lioness Hunt' (...)

'Star of Bethlehem' by Angels and Airwaves (I could totally handle this as my butt-kicking tune).

'What Keeps Mankind Alive' by Tom Waits
"However much you twist, or whatever lies you tell. Food is the first thing, morals follow on. So make sure that those who are now starving, get proper helpings, when we all start carving!"

'White Blank Page' by Mumford and Sons
"A white blank page and a swelling rage. You did not think when you sent me to the brink."

First Zombie Kill: Finding Beauty (Escala)-->Here I am discovering a whole new side of me that I find just damn hot. Eye

Chased by the Horde: Why I Am (Dave Matthews)-->This is why I exist! I live for the thrill of the chase, even the dangerous sides!

Forced to Kill Loved One: Paranoia (Sam Roberts)-->Ooo, that's not good! The world has turned its back on me, so I'm turning my back on the world! D8

New Love Interest: De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da (The Police)-->These are the happy noises my brain makes. 8P

Discover I Have a Bite Mark: Old Love (Eric Clapton)-->Well there's a twist in things, I wanted to join the masses all along, to join my former love in zombie eternity!


Ahh this was fun, thanks for posting that Quad! ^^ I love these!

Used my iPod list for this,

Used my iPod list for this, since anything really bad can happen with 5,000 songs. Also added a "Death/End" at the end too. Can't just end it at the bite mark, can we? (;

Overall Theme for the Apocalypse - Final Fight, from The Covenant Soundtrack

First Zombie Kill - Bad Apple! by Alstroemeria Records

-EDIT- Stealing the death/end

-EDIT-
Stealing the death/end from Lung because yes.

I had to do this kind of weirdly (yay, random dice roller) but it's still random.

Overall Theme for the Apocalypse - Pinkie's Lie (MLP FiM Remix)
(UH. Apparently I'm pretty psyched for the apocalypse. That or the zombies are somehow related to MLP. Oh dear.)

First Zombie Kill - TV Girl - Benny and the Jetts
"But all you'll really capture is that feeling in your chest,
and as she drove she was listening to Benny and the Jetts."

(I hit a zombie in the chest with my weapon of choice before driving away victoriously.
STILL HAVING FUN IN THIS APOCALYPSE. I don't see this lasting long.)

Chased by the Horde - Sugarland - Stuck Like Glue
"There you go making my heart beat again
Heart beat again, heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid"

(Aww, zombies. Everytime I think I'm bored of you, you go and do something like this to keep me on my toes.
APOCALYPTIC FUN NOT ENDING YET.)

Forced to kill loved one - Creature Feature - Bound and Gagged
(Err. I think all the fun I've been having is due to me having completely lost it.
I'm fairly sure I've become one of those survivors you need to be wary of.)

New Love Interest - The Hoosiers - Run Rabbit Run
"If I've got to be true, what chance did you stand.
Take flight, turn tale, get out while you can.

(Probably valid advice for anyone I'd taken an interest in at this point.
It seems that I'm likely a bigger threat to people than the zombies.)

Final Stand - Snow Patrol - What If This Storm Ends?
Just for a minute
The silver forked sky
Lit you up like a star
That I will follow

Now it's found us
Like I have found you
I don't want to run
Just overwhelm me

(It seems reality has caught up with me. THINGS ARE FINALLY GETTING INTENSE and it sure isn't looking good. Perhaps I'm staying as opposed to fleeing due to the love interest and possible obsession.
Also it's in a storm.
BECAUSE.)


I (think) I made it through... - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Home
BAWWW WE MADE IT.
This is just too sweet, please shoot me.
(If this were a movie everyone would feel all warm and fuzzy inside if they forgot the part earlier with the insanity and murder)

Discover I have a bite mark - Combichrist-- Shut Up and Bleed
(Oh haha just kidding. Being faced with my own mortality totally made me snap again and vengefully bite my love interest.)

The Death/End - Andrew W.K - Ready to Die
(WELL THEN. It seems that I was more than ready to go and was just as prepared to take everyone else out with me. Being a zombie is just the second half of the fun. )

My apocalypse adventure was a weird one.
