15 Things You Somehow Missed In Shaun Of The Dead
11. TV Show Callbacks
It isn’t just the songs featured in Shaun Of The Dead that you need to be paying attention to, there are also hidden clues and gags featured in the television shows and radio broadcasts.
In one scene early on in the film, Shaun is working at ‘Foree Electric’ and is showing one of their televisions to a couple of customers. As he flicks through the channels we see shows including an episode of Trisha and an ‘It’s A Knockout’-style game show appear briefly on the screen.
These same shows appear at the end of the movie when Shaun is channel hopping and they too have been affected by the events of the film. Trisha is hosting an episode titled ‘I Married A Monster’ about a woman whose husband has become a zombie, and the game show, called ‘Fun Dead’, features zombies particpating in a game whilst tied to bungee cords.
Let’s be honest, we would all definitely watch that show.
