I’ve been seeing
a lot of ads for the new “Doomsday Castle” series. I have to admit, I am curious but also hesitant. Because a teaser isn’t meant to give too
much away, it is hard to tell what direction they are going with the show. On one hand, if they are keeping in the
theme of “Doomsday Preppers” we could be in for an entertaining and highly
educational show. However, I am afraid
that it might end up being more like “Big Brother” than “Preppers”, focusing on
silly drama instead of hardcore survival tactics.
The building
itself looks relatively sturdy. The
turrets and battlements make excellent watch posts for targeting the
enemy. Installing a portcullis adds an
additional layer of protection. From
what I could see, they are completely solar powered. Honestly, most of these attributes would be beneficial during a
zombie apocalypse.
So far, I
could only find one thing that would be useless to protect them against the
undead: a moat. While it provides a
deterrent to living, breathing, humans, a moat means nothing to zombies. Even with alligators or crocodiles, stocked
in the water, the hordes could multiply to numbers that would overwhelm the
amphibious reptiles. I say, drain the
water and line the trenches with metal spikes.
These pits, also known as “tiger traps”, would effectively protect your
castle from invading looters and the flesh-eaters. Granted, your homeowner’s insurance would drop you like a hot
potato but an insurance policy won’t protect you from a zombie uprising. I noticed on the website that there is a
“build your own castle” game so I think I need to go play around. Sleep well.
