When Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright burst onto the scene with 2004's Shaun of the Dead, it wasn't just average moviegoers that fell in love with their work.

The godfather of zombie movies, George Romero, was reportedly a big fan too, which led to Pegg and Wright being invited to appear in his next project.

That project was 2005's Land of the Dead, the slightly underrated fourth instalment in Romero's Living Dead series. Pegg and Wright did indeed appear in the film, but they're so hard to spot that you'd be forgiven for missing them entirely.

The pair can be seen under heavy prosthetics as a couple of "photo booth zombies" who are tied up and forced to pose for pictures with humans.

The makeup does a good job of hiding Pegg's and Wright's identities, and because we never get a proper look at them, it's far from obvious that we're watching the two guys who redefined the zombie genre for a new generation of fans.
