After The Collapse-Who Will Your Neighbor Be?

Dr. William Stockton celebrates yet another birthday surrounded by family and friends in the midst of a grand suburban paradise. The party is warm, and the evening is filled with joy and merriment. These people singing his praises, laughing and imbibing generous amounts of spirits, are neighbors he’s known for over 20 years. He understands them well, or at least, he thinks he does….

The good doctor, as his neighbors often point out with a jabbing chuckle, is a prepper; a brand of survivalist who participates in the day-to-day routine of mundane American life while using his spare time to safeguard against unforeseen disaster. His friends view this behavior as an amusing curiosity, an eccentric hobby, but none take it nearly as seriously as William does. It’s not that he is paranoid; far from it. In fact, William Stockton is a professional, a man of sense, and a man of family. He merely lives in an era of great potential danger, where nuclear war and societal collapse are anything but fantasy. Stockton takes these issues into account as an individual, and acts according to the severity of his environment. Much more than his neighbors, he represents legitimate rationality.

Unfortunately for the doctor, and for those who live around him, the days of wine and frosted cake are about to abruptly end as a Civil Defense emergency bulletin blares over the wire. The reality that today’s comforts could disappear in the blink of an eye sets into the minds of the frightened listeners. And soon, we begin to witness the TRUE character of those William once held dear.

This scenario might sound like a familiar consideration to many of us, but for now it remains the stuff of nighttime TV. So begins a rather prophetic and ingenious episode of The Twilight Zone entitled “The Shelter”…

I think it is only human nature to think about the end of times...so I love to watch movies about how people would deal with it.

Probably my all-time favorite is: On the Beach.

I've seen both the 1960's release and I think the 1980 or 1990's release, both are simply outstanding. I have never cried so hard in my life. For those who aren't familiar with the storyline, a nuclear war has taken place, and the atomic cloud is slowly circumnavigating the globe, with Australia being the last major country left (sorry fellow kiwis). Anywho, the Australian gov't has doled out sometime of mercy pill (poison) that will put you to sleep. So the story follows how different people deal with their own end. The clip below is how a mother and father dealt with it..and their only child.

I HIGHLY recommend you watch all 20 clips located on youtube...

All I can think about seeing this is the movie "Blast from the Past" where the dad built an exact replica of their house inside the bomb shelter it was hilarious!
