My Kind of Zombie Movie

I saw a great Halloween movie last night. Billed as "a romantic comedy -- with zombies", Shaun of the Dead is very funny and not at all scary. Shaun is sleepwalking through his life. Same dull job every day, same dull pub every night. Combine that with a night of heavy drinking after his girlfriend dumps him, and it takes Shaun 24 hours to even notice there's a zombie invasion. Conservative angle: No guns in London, so they have to improvise with shovels, golfclubs and, of course, cricket bats. See the trailer here.

For another funny Halloween movie see The Nightmare before Christmas.
