This trailer for the new Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost movie The World's End looks like exactly the kind of thing these three do really well together. It sort of appears to be a cross between Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, but with aliens instead of zombies and the same creepy-small-town vibe. Basically, we're pretty pumped for it.

Hearing there's a movie that's a love story between a human girl and a zombie could draw instant comparisons to Twilight on the basis of a girl and an undead boy being in love, but the first trailer for Warm Bodies alleviated most of those suspicions. It even looked pretty good. Today they released a clip of the first four minutes of Warm Bodies that should put to rest any lingering doubts that this thing has potential.

Remember at the end of Shaun of the Dead, where zombies have been integrated into human life as menial workers? A charmingly creative alternative look at the tail end of a zombie outbreak. But you'll never guess who's picked up on a version of that idea and is using it as an actually well produced Halloween tie in. Sears.

Dark Bunny Tees' Alex Chenery is good at making stuff with Play-Doh. (See: His Play-Doh Homer Simpson.*) We're really digging this Shaun of the Dead-inspired work of Doh, which recalls the classic scene in the film when Simon Pegg and Nick Frost realize that throwing Dire Straits albums at zombies just isn't going to cut it, and smash the undead with a cricket bat and a shovel, respectively. Blood-splattering ensues.
