Not a single student in this school

would be caught dead there.

Don't you mean caught...

Undead there?

What do we do about that, brainiac?

From the little observations

that I've been able to make,

- zombies seem to be uni-attentional.

- Ok. What?

Zombies only pay attention to

what's right in front of them.

So, so if we don't draw

their attention...

We should just be able

to walk right by.

You go first.

Way to go, Edster!

This way!

Downstairs. Go! Go!

Hey! Hey! Come here!

Come and get me! Come and get me!

Hey! Go, go, go!

Come and get me!

Come and get me.

Come here.

- In the library!

- Get the door! Get the door!

Go! Go!

Yeah!

Aha!

Yeah! Hell, yeah!

Jesus, Eddie.

I know, I didn't think

that would actually work.

Ok, she's not looking too good.

I can't believe this is happening.

I am student council

vice president.

Junior prom queen, and

head cheerleader,

and I have a serious problem

with the direction

this school is taking.

Well, I'd adjust

quickly if I were you,

or the next popularity

contest you'll be winning

is most likely to get eaten

by the student body.

Aah! Oh!

Again?

Damn it, Janet. Help me.

What should I do?

Here. Hold her neck.

Keep pressure on it.

Eddie's been studying medical

school since like infancy,

so maybe he knows.

Ew!

Hey, what is it?

Oh, nothing big.

Just the end of the world.

Ah! Ah!

Mrs. Rumblethorp?

Oh, please don't be dead.

Please?

Ok...

Ok... Ok.

Come on. Janet!

Bradikins. You saved me.

Guys, help me!

Whoa.

Aah!

Did she bite you?

No! I bent my finger weird.

I can't hold her much longer.

- Her brain. Her brain!

- What?

Eddie's right, the only

way to kill a zombie

is destroy its brain.

That cuntress has been riding

me since I was a freshman.

It's time for some payback.

Bring her to me.

How you like me now,

Rumbly Thumbly? Hmm?

It looks like rob zombie

raped the entire

cast of gossip girl

and this is their angry love child.

And who knows what it's

like everywhere else.

Tried the land lines. Nothing.

So we're completely cutoff

from the rest of the world?

What about the Internet?

None of our phones

can get a signal.

School computer?

Really?

That thing's so ancient

it makes old tron

look cutting edge.

It's worth a try, ok?

You know, maybe we

can email for help.

Or tweet. OMG, zombies

attacking the school.

Send help pronto.

Here goes nothing.

This might take awhile.

Well, if this isn't a commentary

on the current state

of public education,

I don't know what is.

Yeah, that helps.

Feet in the air and

head on the ground

You try this trick and spin it

Your head will collapse

but there's nothing in it

So you ask yourself
