Fun Facts[]
- The first in the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy.
- Also known as "Zombies Party" and "Tea-Time of the Dead".
- The film includes 46 credited cast members and at least 49 uncredited cast. Some of the uncredited cast are popular British comedians, though there are a few British comic creators as well.
- Steve Emerson got the part of John, the owner of the Winchester pub, for two main reasons. 1) he was a stuntman, and 2) Edgar Wright thought he'd make a good zombie.
- Peter Bateson, who played a livid commuter, also worked as part of the camera department. He has also worked on the films The Full Monty and Cashback.
- The actor Michael Smiley makes an uncredited appearance as a zombie. He is recognisable to many fans of Edgar Wright's work, as he is dressed in the same outfit worn by Tyres O'Flaherty, a character which Michael played in a few episodes of Spaced, a TV series which was created by Edgar.
- Edgar Wright's TV series, Spaced, was written by and starred Jessica Hynes and Simon Pegg, and also starred Nick Frost, Julia Deakin and Mark Heap, with appearances by Lucy Akhurst (4 episodes), Peter Serafinowicz (3 episodes), Reece Shearsmith (2 episodes), Paul Kaye, Mark Gatiss, Paul Putner, David Walliams and Robert Popper (all 1 episode).
- The film was nominated for 20 awards (including 3 BAFTA's and 1 British Comedy Award) and won 13 awards.
- The actor Chris Knight, who played a zombie, is known for giving "zombie lessons" on sets of films as he has often appeared in films as a zombie, with Shaun of the Dead being the first. Other zombie films he's appeared in include Cockneys vs. Zombies, The Eschatrilogy: Book of the Dead and Dead Wood.
