Scary movies # 10 - Shaun of the Dead

Year: 2004 Director: Edgar Wright

Shaun of the Dead - Killing Zombies 12 inches (80's vinyl) at a time.

Ok I know Shaun Of The Dead is not that scary but it is a superb film, very funny, and is suitably close to the "proper" Zombie movies that it spoofs to be included in the list.

Shaun, caught in a dead end job, living in a flat with his lazy childhood friend, is dumped by his girlfriend. Things get a whole lot worse when the dead start re-animating and come to life to roam the streets and pray on the living. Shaun must lead his small band of friends to safety of the place he know best - the pub.

The Zombie genre is ripe for spoofing, and Shaun Of The Dead succeeds both as an out and out spoof of the genre, and as a Zombie movie in its own right. It is also probably the finest british comedy film made in the last few years, popular wide both mainstream audiences and die hard Zombie fans.
