There’s no denying that first aid training is an essential skill to have in daily life, let alone in a natural disaster, ‘rage’ virus outbreak or zombie apocalypse. If we’ve learned anything from movies and TV shows like ’28 Days Later’, ‘Shaun of the Dead’, ‘Zombieland’ and ‘The Walking Dead’ is that you have to stay healthy, be able to keep moving, and of course double-tap, because your brain in like a walking-talking candy store to the recently departed.

This week the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada has released an aggressive campaign to raise awareness of CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). The horror-movie style PSA features a woman surrounded on all sides by approaching zombies. With zombies closing in she loses consciousness suffering what may have been a heart attack. Surprisingly, the zombies are able to use their CPR skills to revive the woman before… well, I’ll just let you watch it to find out.

The campaign will hopefully spur enough people to join in a Guinness World Record attempt for the largest number of people trained in CPR at one time. The event will happen October 25 at Canada’s Wonderland during the annual Halloween Haunt.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation is also promoting CPR training to the undead at The Toronto Zombie Walk on October 20.

The campaign comes from Toronto’s Agency59, with video direction from Vincenzo Natali (Splice, Cube), with production by Cartilage and FX from Alter Ego.
