Average Movie Trivia: Shaun of the Dead | 10 Questions

Answer: the Winchester

Whether he's looking for a romantic dinner spot, a safe haven from zombies, or just somewhere to hang out and and kill time, the dingy Winchester pub always strikes Shaun as the ideal place to go.

Answer: an appliance store

Shaun's girlfriend Liz is getting tired of Shaun's refusal to grow up and get a better paying job with a real future.

Incidentally, the store where Shaun works is Foree Electronics, named in honor of actor Ken Foree, the star of George Romero's 1978 horror classic "Dawn of the Dead".

Answer: Fulci's

This is another in-joke that only horror aficionados will get. Lucio Fulci directed a host of gory Italian horror films, like "Zombi" and "City of the Walking Dead."

George Romero and Dario Argento are popular horror directors in their own rights, while Tom Savini has provided gruesome special effects for a number of popular horror films past.

Answer: "Batman" soundtrack

They also tried a Dire Straits album and a Sade album, but to no avail.

Answer: whether or not dogs can look up

This running gag was inspired by a real argument that director Edgar Wright had with stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, during the taping of an episode of the British TV sitcom "Spaced".

"Spaced" has long had a devoted audience, and many of the extras who played zombies in "Shaun of the Dead" are "Spaced" fans who were recruited through the show's web site.

Answer: False

In a surprisingly tender moment, one you'd never expect to see in a maniacal comedy like "Shaun of the Dead," the mortally wounded Phillip says he always loved Shaun, and tried his best to be a good father. Shaun seems genuinely heartbroken to learn that he'd misjudged Phillip for so long.

Answer: a golf club

After Shaun impales one zombie with a child's backyard tetherball post, Dianne teaches Shaun and their fellow survivors how to emulate the zombie's movements and sounds, so they can pass themselves off as zombies.

Answer: his mother, Barbara

Shaun's mother had been bitten by a pajama-clad zombie, but never told anyone, because, like any proper middle-aged British mum, she didn't want to cause any bother!

Answer: True

Not all the zombies are killed, however, because it turns out they're ideally suited for menial labor and for embarrassing reality television shows.

Answer: Ed

Shaun keeps the dead Ed chained up in the backyard shed with a video game system. Since all Ed ever did while alive was sit around in filth playing video games, not much has really changed for him.
