Authorities were not organized until after dark, nor did they realize these were zombies until sunset was long past, so the report showing Chief McClelland and his men creates a paradox. Tom, Judy, and Ben make an attempt to refuel the truck so everyone can escape, but after shooting the lock off the pump a stray torch sets the gasoline stream on fire. With the two dominant males at each other's throats the zombies break in. It is a grim ending, among the most depressing ever, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Make sure you bury your parents close to home.
Zombies are responsible for most cases of vandalism.
Do not mess with some guy who has a tire iron, especially if his adrenaline level is skyrocketing. Funeral clothes are made from polyester. A house is full of scrap wood if you are creative. Zombies are insectivores. Only men are useful in any sort of emergency.
