In a not too distant future, hordes of blood-drenched zombies are on the horizon, mindlessly roaming the deserted streets, trying to get into your house and eat your brains. Sucks if your house isn't fully zombie-proof by then, right? So head over to the 2011 Zombie Safe House Competition voting page and root for your favorite entries. Or get eaten alive. Voting ends October 21.

This year's ZSHC judging panel includes an award winning author and zombie expert, a horror novel author, a movie critic/independent film producer, and...oh well...an architect.
