Edgar Wright: The Definitive Guide To Homages, Influences And References
When Shauns mother doesnt want to be any fuss in their rescue attempt, Ed overrules her, calling her by her first name, Barbara, in a reference to Night Of The Living Dead where Johnny tells his sister Barbara that theyre (the zombies) are coming to get you. Ed twists it, yelling the immortal line Were coming to get you, Barbara! Apparently, despite it being the most famous line from George A. Romeros horror classic, the director didnt realise the line was lifted from his work despite a privately viewing the film in his home. Wright eventually had to tell the legend in a phone conversation.
