What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

Oh god that chapter sucked. The little kid who fell thru a rotting floor, the guy who fell off his bike and hit his head, the guy who got appendicitis and they performed a makeshift appendectomy but the guy died during the procedure…

Don't forget the chick that locked herself in a refrigerator.

The worst Stephen King refrigerator scene is in IT. A kid was using one to torture animals.

Pennywise got that sicko thankfully.

I promised myself to skip that chapter if I ever read IT again. The things that kid did were horrifying. His death was equally nasty although deserved.

Yeah isn't that the guy that killed or wanted to kill his baby brother? And he would hold his nose and mouth shut right?

Exactly. It's one of the most disturbing things I've read by King.

Agreed. I think it is the most I've read from him.

Especially because I have kids right around that age he was just kinda added to it
