10 More Most Paused Zombie Horror Movie Moments
10. A Real Smiley Crowd - Shaun of the Dead (2004)
When director Edgar Wright went to work putting his own spin on the zombie genre, he took a lot of what he already knew with him from his TV show Spaced, including small lives in the big city, London suburban mise-en-scène, quick cuts, and a squad of his regular cast.
The main stars of Spaced, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, lead Shaun of the Dead, and other cameos abound, including an amusing encounter with Jessica Hynes' own rag-tag group of zombie holocaust survivors. However, another recognisable face from the show's supporting cast makes appearances that only the most eagle-eyed fans, with the fastest remotes in the West, might manage to spot.
A blink and you'll miss it cameo has Michael Smiley, who appears as raver Tyres O'Flaherty on Spaced, surface in a crowd of flesh-hungry zombies. And the fact that he is dressed in the same upturned yellow cap he wears in the show suggests he is in fact the selfsame character. Although this poses some strange and unanswerable questions about whether there are doppelgängers for Shaun (Pegg), Ed (Frost) and Yvonne (Hynes) living in another suburb, it's a moment to behold all the same.
