Zombie comedy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The zombie comedy, also called zomedy (portmanteau), is an emerging film genre. Examples include Edgar Wright's Shaun of the Dead, Andrew Currie's Fido, and arguably the inventor of the genre, Peter Jackson's Braindead. Sam Raimi's Evil Dead 2, although a horror movie, contains some light hearted and dark comedy elements, and its sequel, Army of Darkness, is even more comedic. The Return of the Living Dead series can be considered some of the earliest examples of Zomedy.
