Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The zombie comedyis a film genre which aims to blend zombie or horror motifs with slapstick comedy as well as dark comedy.The earliest roots of the genre can be found in Jean Yarbrough''s King of the Zombies (1941) and Gordon Douglas''s Zombies on Broadway (1945), though both of these films dealt with Haitian-style zombies. An American Werewolf in London (1981)and the Return of the Living Dead series (1985)(especially the first two and the last of the series) can be considered some of the earliest examples of Zombie-comedy using the classic zombie.Modern zombie comedies include Edgar Wright''s Shaun of the Dead (which was in fact a self-dubbed Romantic Zombie Comedy, or RomZomCom).This movie made many in-jokes and references to George A. Romero''s earlier Dead films. In particular, the plot of Shaun relates directly to the plots of Romero''s zombie filmsall of which involve several people trapped in a building, with flesh-eating zombies attempting to break in to devour them, without a direct explanation for the cause of the zombie plague.
