When Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead, a romantic comedy with zombies (or zom-rom-com, as it was immediately dubbed by pundits) hit theaters in 2004, it instantly earned a place alongside The Return of the Living Dead (1985) and Peter Jackson’s Braindead (aka Dead-Alive) (1992) as one of the best horror/comedies of all time, as well as a winning tale of love and true friendship.

Each one-hour episode will take viewers on a chilling exploration of how horror has evolved through the years and examine the genre's impact on society as well as delving into how horror maintains its fan base and why audiences are addicted to fear. Interviewees include Stephen King, Quentin Tarantino, Linda Blair, and many others.”

Edgar Wright’s crowd-pleasing feature debut, a zombie comedy romance (or zom-rom-com, as pundits immediately dubbed it), instantly earned its place alongside such luminaries as The Return of the Living Dead and Peter Jackson’s Braindead (aka Dead-Alive). It was, quite simply, one of the best horror films – not to mention comedies – in years, as well as a winning tale of friendship and true love.

Sightseers (2012) d. Wheatley, Ben (UK)

Wheatley, who scored high marks last year with his soul-shattering hitman-meets-Wicker Man masterpiece Kill List, returns to the fray with a hilarious dark comedy that trades off between belly laughs and body counts. A quirky young couple (Alice Lowe, Steve Oram) set off on a “getting to know you” caravanning holiday of the English countryside, one that finds itself punctuated by bonding through bloodletting and shared psychopathy.
