Skylar Ervin 10-6-07 Professor Renner Shaun of the Dead The film Shaun of the Dead is a British zombie flick filled with comedy‚ romance‚ and horror.

Shaun of the Dead had every element to mock all zombie films‚ we may or may have not seen. The film did not only make fun of zombie movies‚ it also kept the elements that made any zombie films as scary and disgusting as it could be.
