Everyone has a zombie plan. Yours finally comes with a blueprint.

This zombie poster, Holdout House Blueprint, lays out a fortified house in white lines on deep blueprint blue, ringed with a crossbow, arrows and gear sketches, for everyone who has already picked the place they'd hold out in. The heavy matte print makes a fun gift for the friend with a go-bag by the door and a survival game on pause.

The design: a cutaway house plan with the gear drawn in

The sheet is drawn like a builder's plan: thin white linework on a navy-to-mid-blue ground, fine white border rules around the edge, and edges aged to a rusty orange, as if the plan had been folded, carried and pinned up more than once. A zombie-apocalypse title runs across the top in white capitals, its first word large and speckled like chipped paint.

At the center stands a single-story house with its front wall cut away, so you look straight inside. It has a gabled, ribbed roof topped by a small brick block, brick walls and a porch post. A bulb hangs on a cord from the ceiling and throws a soft white glow over rolled mats, a supply crate, a small round table, shelving and grid-paned windows, while slatted shutters stand at both sides of the house.

Around the house, the rest of the kit is sketched in the same white line: a crossbow at the top left, arrows and bolts, the outlines of rifles and other firearms, and a chest of drawers and a wire-mesh crate along the bottom. Blocks of handwriting-style notes sit beside the sketches the way margin notes fill a working plan.

It's the argument every group of friends has had at least once, which house you'd pick, what you'd bring and who gets the crossbow, finally settled on paper. Deep blue and white with one warm glow at its heart, it reads as a clever plan you can hang rather than a scare.

Who it's for

Zombie-apocalypse planners, survival-game players, preppers and anyone who has ever sketched an escape plan on the back of a receipt. Put it up in a game room, a garage workshop, a teen's bedroom, a dorm or a home office, and give it for Halloween, a birthday, a housewarming or the next movie marathon.

Quick answers

Are there any zombies in the picture?

No. The zombie idea lives only in the title lettering. There are no creatures, people, blood or gore anywhere, just the house, the gear and the notes, so it hangs as easily in a kid's room or an office as in a game room.

What do the square sizes add?

Squares give the widest layout, adding a pistol, crossed arrows, a canister, a bottle, a pair of bolts and a crate stack at the sides, and rust wears into all four corners. Portrait formats crop the side sketches and keep rust strips only at the top and bottom.

Can you read the handwritten notes?

Not really. They're scribbles drawn to look like handwriting, so they give the feel of a working plan without spelling out real instructions. The title at the top is the only readable lettering on the print.

Which size suits a game room or garage wall?

To make out the details inside the house from across the space, go for 18″×24″ (45.7 × 61.0 cm) or 20″×30″ (50.8 × 76.2 cm). Beside a monitor or on a workbench shelf, a 12″×12″ (30.5 × 30.5 cm) square keeps the full layout, side sketches included.
