The zombie comedy, also called zomedy (portmanteau), is an emerging film genre which aims to blend zombie horror motifs with slapstick comedy. 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 film, contains some light hearted and dark comedy elements, and its sequel, Army of Darkness, is even more comedic. An American Werewolf in London (1981) and the Return of the Living Dead series (1985) can be considered some of the earliest examples of Zombie-comedy.
