We’re a little more than halfway into October, and I’ve been full on craving horror movies. Ash VS Evil Dead is back on, as well as American Horror Story, although I haven’t tuned into this season yet. I’m working on it though.
To prevent nightmares from happening, I tend to watch a lot more comedy-horror movies because they allow me to get through the day and sleep at night without missing out on horror aspects.
I put together a small list of some zombie movies that are enjoyable and memorable. Especially ones that I approve because I am able to sleep after watching these without any nightmares happening.
Let’s start this list off with a super classic. A super British modern zombie flick. Simon Pegg is the most precious person ever to exist, and even though he plays a slacker in this movie, you can’t help but love him and root for him throughout the whole adventure. This movie is probably my favorite zombie movie, and I quote it quite often. It’s packed with memorable lines, and it always sounds better when you try to imitate with a British accent, which I can’t ever successfully pull off.
I don’t know about y’all but I learned a lot of lessons from Zombieland. They throw in tips to survive, you learn about Twinkies, and all about Bill Murray if you didn’t know much about him (in which I won’t judge, but I will because shame on you if you don’t know Bill Murray!) You also learn, or at least notice after watching this that zombie movies involve much adventure. You can’t stay in one place because you probably won’t survive. We’ve seen that quite often here. You gotta be constantly on the move. Another thing to make note of when a zombie apocalypse happens: be prepared to be on the move. And come up with a nickname because why bother introducing yourself if there’s a chance you won’t make it out alive?
D’aw, Fido. It’s a cute… twisted cute… maybe a precious twisted gory cute movie featuring a world of zombie servants possibly taking place in the 50’s. It’s always the weirdest when movies make you feel mushy feelings for flesh eating zombies. But it’s a different story when they’re somewhat tamed showing some kind of emotion within their mindless groaning. What would the world be like with tamed zombies as servants?
Best resembling Shaun Of The Dead, Deadheads follows two zombies who are coherent going on a road trip. It’s a different perspective which is refreshing, as movies are always views from the coherent non-zombie folk just trying to make it out alive. What if zombies are just trying to make it out alive from a zombie apocalypse?
Not the best movie, that’s for sure, but it’s a lighthearted comedy poking fun at the zombie apocalypse. It has a whole lot of moments of akwardness making you cringe at the main character, but that’s what makes this movie entertaining. It’s an easy non-gory watch once you get past that awkwardness.
I wouldn’t exactly classify this as a comedy. But I’m sure we can all agree that Aubrey Plaza plays a good zombie. I’ve also come to realize how the progression of people in this movie don’t make you feel bad about death, at least that’s how I felt. Losing a loved one is incredibly hard, but watching them slowly transition makes you appreciate how they were before death, and how after death, it isn’t a bad idea for them to stay dead. That sounds kinda bad and harsh. But it’s like the story of the monkey’s paw.
But seriously, after all the movies on this list, it kinda makes you wonder how the zombie apoloclypse would really happen. I can kinda see it working out like it does in this movie.
Ever wonder if the zombie apocalypse is coming? If yes, ever wonder when it’ll happen and what would cause it? Am I the only one thinking about zombies right now?
