Our Halloween Hangover Week continues with a 20th anniversary celebration of Edgar Wright’s Zom Rom Com Shaun of the Dead!
The movie follows Shaun (Simon Pegg), an aimless electronics store employee, whose life is falling apart—he’s stuck in a dead-end job, and his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) has just broken up with him. But when a zombie outbreak sweeps through London, Shaun seizes the opportunity to prove himself, rallying his best friend Ed (Nick Frost) and a small group of survivors to battle the undead. They attempt to reach the safety of their local pub, The Winchester, but chaos ensues as they face hordes of zombies.
With sharp wit, heartfelt moments, and a satirical take on both the horror genre and the monotony of modern life, Shaun of the Dead has become a beloved cult classic, praised for its clever writing and seamless blending of comedy and horror.
