The band members discover zombies outside their studio. They decide to fight the zombies by using their guitars as weapons, turning the serious situation into a game by assigning points for different kills. They all run out screaming, ready to battle the horde of undead. Though one member questions how this will make the situation of their likely dead families fun, they go along with killing zombies in a misguided attempt to find humor in the dire circumstances.

2. INT. STUDIO - NIGHT
Avenged Severfold Not ready to die
playing in the background and a
groaning sound as well as rain
splattering against a window as
well as manic screaming
FERGUS
Does anyone else hear that?
groaning intensifies
HANK
Yeah that doesn’t sound too good
He opens the window with a CLICK. A zombie attacking is
heard.
HANK
Oh shit! ZOMBIES!
Footsteps are heard as Alex runs over to the window.
ALEX
Zombies? please tell me you’re
joking; seriously that is the
stupidest thing I have ever heard.
HANK
Nope, I ain’t kidding. Get over
here and have a look if you don’t
believe me.
ALEX
Oh god your right, shit what are we
gonna do?
FREDDY
Well you see there’s zombies we’ve
got guitars, so what we do is we
take the guitars and smash them
into their heads.
HANK
Sounds like a plan... I guess.
ALEX
Woooooooooo! lets do this.
They all run outside randomly strumming guitars and
screaming.

EXT. OUTSIDE THE STUDIO (WASTELAND)- NIGHT
Hank hits a zombie with a CRACK
HANK
I never knew that hitting something
over the head with my guitar would
be so much fun, but damn I got
blood on it.
FREDDY
Oh well little blood probably does
the strings good I mean it’s metal
and stuff plus you cut your fingers
when you shred anyway.
HANK
Do you... know anything about
guitar Freddy.
FREDDY
Nope I’m a drummer not a strummer.
HANK
Never say that again that was
just... awful.
ALEX
Can you two ladies stop having a
little chit chat already we got
zombies to kill over here.
FREDDY
God your making slaying hordes of
undead seem like work Alex.
ALEX
Fine then let’s make this
intresting: You get one clean in
the head in one hit 10 points just
getting them in the head 5 points
anything else and you suck bet I
can rack up waaayyy more points
than you losers.
FREDDY AND HANK
You’re on!
FERGUS
I have no idea how this is supposed
to make the fact that our families
are probably dead fun, but oh well.
I’m up for a bit of good old
fashioned zombie killing.
