As a hardcore gamer and long-time film enthusiast, I can’t help but feel excited about the upcoming 20th anniversary celebration of Edgar Wright’s cult classic, “Shaun of the Dead.” Having grown up watching British comedy films, this trilogy holds a special place in my heart. The Three Flavours Cornetto series, including “Shaun of the Dead,” has always been a go-to for me when I need a good laugh and a dose of adrenaline.
In 2024, the beloved rom-zom-com “Shaun of the Dead,” which proudly claims that title for itself, marks its 20th anniversary. Debuting in cinemas in 2004, this film has amassed a devoted fanbase and is a cherished component of the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy. This series, helmed by director Edgar Wright and co-written with Simon Pegg, who graces all three productions with his presence.
I’m utterly in love with “Shaun of the Dead,” a hilarious film that kicks off with an unwanted zombie apocalypse. This comedy masterpiece follows the chaotic events as the undead invade the Crouch End region of London. The stellar cast includes Pegg, Nick Frost, Kate Ashfield, Lucy Davis, Dylan Moran, Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton, Martin Freeman, Matt Lucas, and Rafe Spall.

Shaun of the Dead
In 2004, “Shaun of the Dead” made a big splash both critically and commercially upon its debut, eventually becoming a beloved cult classic. Its allure stems from its compelling storyline, impressive acting, and striking visuals. Notably, it pays homage to George A. Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead.” Over time, viewers have returned to this film for its relatable characters and the unique blend of fear and humor in the narrative.
A side-splitting, head-smashing, gloriously gory horror comedy.
In this tale, Shaun (played by Pegg), a 30-something laid-back guy, finds himself single once again after a breakup. Suddenly, an unexpected disaster – a zombie outbreak – arises, and now Shaun must not only take care of his own survival but also protect his friend during the early stages of this apocalyptic nightmare.
“Here’s what Shaun suggested in the film: ‘Take the car, visit Mum, get rid of Phil, pick up Liz, head to the Winchester pub, enjoy a cold beer, and let this situation blow over.’ Quite an intriguing plan, don’t you think?”
To mark the 20-year milestone of “Shaun of the Dead” film, it will be back in theaters this year with an upgraded viewing experience. The remastered version will be presented in Dolby Vision and Atmos technologies.
At San Diego Comic-Con from July 25 to 28, you can find the “Shaun of the Dead” experience, which is free and situated at 520 Fifth Avenue. On Thursday through Saturday, it will be open from noon to 6 p.m., while on Sunday it will be open until 4 p.m. The general public can make reservations starting July 17.
