Shaun of the Dead had every element to mock all zombie films‚ we may or may have not seen. The film did not only make fun of zombie movies‚ it also kept the elements that made any zombie films as scary and disgusting as it could be. Watching Shaun of the Dead‚ I didn’t see anything that could have ruined the film in the parody horror genre that it is. I think it kept every aspect with the focus of horror to scare the viewers‚ while making them laugh at the same time. Scene example of mockery: One

I think Star Wars is better than Star Trek. Why? It’s simple. Star Trek is for wimps! Yes‚ I said it. WIMPS! Star Trek is an old television show that is about a society traveling through outer space on the Starfleet Enterprise and takes place in the distant future.

It is full of colorful characters and you watch it on the big screen.
