“Traveling by bullet train in Japan is such a no-brainer that even zombies will do it.”
With that great tag line, the intrepid reporters at SoraNews24.com have the story of a real “zombie train” coming to Japan!
As they report:
If you’re traveling from Tokyo to Osaka, the Shinkansen is almost always going to be the fastest and most convenient way to get there. Next month, though, it’s also going to be the most terrifying.
SoraNews24.com goes on to report:
Up until now, Shinkansen operator Central Japan Railway has done an admirable job keeping the living dead from establishing a foothold on Japan’s premier high-speed rail route, with not a single zombie outbreak in the Shinkansen’s 60-year history. That streak will be coming to a close soon, though. At 5:18 p.m. on the evening of October 19, a Nozomi super express, bound for Shin Osaka, will pull out of Tokyo Station. Before reaching its destination, though, a section of the bullet train will be overrun by zombies.
I love the idea of taking this train – sadly, I will be a few weeks too late, but for anyone who takes it, let us all know because it looks so cool!

The Terrifying “Train To Busan” Is Now Departing!
I had heard about this 2016 South Korean thriller, but hadn’t gotten around to seeing it until a few years ago – and it blew my mind!
“Train to Busan” takes place as a zombie apocalypse suddenly breaks out in the country – and a group of passengers must band together until they reach safety – hopefully – in Busan…
The characters are all terrific: an estranged Father on the left must protect his small daughter, while a beefy tough guy must protect his pregnant wife…
Here is the trailer, which, as action packed as it seems, only hints at the wild wild wild nature of this movie thrill ride:
One of the most unique aspects of the film is how quickly someone can be killed and turned into a Zombie – so the pack just grows and grows and grows!
As Rotten Tomatoes noted:
“Train to Busan delivers a thrillingly unique – and purely entertaining – take on the zombie genre, with fully realized characters and plenty of social commentary to underscore the bursts of skillfully staged action.”
I was blown away by this film and I think you will be as well…a thrill ride with heart…a dynamite movie to watch during this “Shocktober” season!

I have had a good few train trips lately with some problems like signal failure and car stuck on a level crossing and bringing confusion to a whole network. Much as I complained, I now realise I was lucky that Zombies have not yet taken over South West Trains!
