6. Zombocalypse 3D - The Regular Show

The Regular Show is one of the most underrated Cartoon Network shows of all time; it's witty, random and features the voice talent of Mark Hamill as Skips.

In Season 2 episode 19, titled Grave Sights, Mordecai and Rigby decide to screen a film in the park in order to raise money to pay for some damages done to it. The two best friends decide on the movie Zombocalypse 3D and manage to get the whole town to turn up for the screening.

The film itself is a mixture of the original Dawn Of The Dead and Ash vs The Evil Dead with the main protagonist looking and sounding a lot like Bruce Campbell. The catchphrases alone give a strong nod to his performance in the iconic zombie series and to top it all off, the cover of the film is also identical to the 1993 cover of Doom.

Combine all of those features with an animated twist and you've got a zombie film horror fans would be clawing over each other to see. In the show, they also state that the film is over three hours long. That's a body count and run time enough to make The Lord Of The Rings sweat.

I see my role at WhatCulture the same way my wife sees my role as a lover: I contribute in a very small way, my presence is barely noticeable and I’m not entirely sure if the laughter is at me or with me.
