World War V


            Following two nuclear winters (which could be WWIII and WWIV) the last bastions of humanity eke out a living in slum-like cities and begin to rebuild their civilization.  When an army of radioactive vampires attack en masse, the humans must rally together to defend their ghetto while communicating via radio with other survival communes in an effort to keep the species alive.

World War IV

The female President of the United States and the Russian Premiere (male) threaten each other over a live video feed that allows them to communicate between their respective fallout shelters.  Of course, the worst they can threaten is to re-bomb already destroyed cities, as the entire planet has apparently already endured a nuclear holocaust.  Of course, neither side realizes the fact that unless the all-male Russian population gets together with the female Americans, humanity will go extinct.

Zombie Zoo

In a world long recovered from a Zombie uprising, zombie themed parks perform shows and feature caged zombie exhibits and also do scientific research into zombie-ism.  This model works great until an experiment gone wrong puts the zoo into lockdown with a group of teens trapped inside.

The Last New Year

            On New Year’s Day 2014, the Earth’s came to a halt following a meteor impact.  The effects weren’t immediately noticeable, and NYC revelers still dropped the ball, despite the fact that it was still dusk out.  Then things got worse.  The dark side of the Earth plunged into brutal freezing winter, and the hot side, the America side, became a barren desert wasteland.  Only a small portion of the planet, the dawn/dusk circumference, remained livable, but became perpetually besieged by horrendous storms.
            Now, five years into 2014, people still struggle to live on America’s east coast, between the central desert wasteland, and the mostly frozen Atlantic ocean.  The gulf is a pretty nice place but for the never-ending hurricanes, but then, what’s new?  Searching the desert for food, a young couple find an old man with knowledge of a plan to restart the rotation of the earth, a plan started the year of the disaster.  He tells them that there were massive rockets installed around the globe and that many of them are still manned, but that in order for them to be effective, all of the operators must be notified to fire them at the same time.

            So the couple begin a voyage up the destroyed east coast in an attempt to find an operational radio tower which they could then use to orchestrate the plan to get the world back on track.  And all the while they are hampered by natural obstacles, by people who distrust their motives, doomsday cults, and wild animals gone even wilder.  But if they succeed, a new day, and in fact a new year would dawn (literally) for mankind.
