The Zombie Fortification Cabin (ZFC-1) is a zombie-proof concept cabin created by British company Tiger Sheds, who previously created a concept cabin designed to keep spiders out.
This concept cabin is not designed to actually keep you safe in case there is a zombie apocalypse this Halloween, but is designed to be used as part of an interactive horror experience, and will be situated in a forest, disused factory or other creepy location.
The basic plan for this zombie-proof cabin comprises a two story cabin with a living room, toilet, kitchen, two bedrooms, gym, garden and storage area. It will also be equipped with a TV, sound system, Xbox and the all-important escape hatch.
Interactive horror experiences need to be ultra-realistic to be effective, and the addition of a zombie-proof cabin makes for a welcome presence in this setting.
