Answer: Night of the Living Dead

Answer: Shaun of the Dead

"Shaun of the Dead" hodgepodges all of the classic zombie movie plots together, but uses Romero's films as its main inspiration. Its tongue in cheek comedy reflects the very little difference in pre and post zombie society by implying our automatic nature makes us zombies to begin with.

4. What film starts out with a scientist trying to cure rage by experimenting on monkeys?

Answer: 28 Days Later

The infection takes over the UK when over zealous animal right's activists "save" the monkeys, only to doom the country as the rage virus infects nearly all the people in the UK.

8. A classic adaptation of a Stephen King novel, what movie features a grief stricken father who tries to bring back his deceased toddler son?
