Comedic Horror[edit]

"Zombie Comedy" returns over 282,000 hits on Google. "Comedic Horror" returns over a million. This article should be retitled "comedic horror" instead of "Zombie Comedy." Some of the cited movies are not ACTUAL Zombie films, but are comedic horrors-- like Evil Dead 2 and An American Werewolf in London.

This article also needs some reformatting.

Most of the comedy in An American Werewolf in London comes from scenes with Jack, who is a member of the living dead. Captain Infinity (talk) 12:47, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

untitled[edit]

Ridiculous. No-one uses this word, this was clearly made-up by some fan-boy attempting, unsuccessfully, to coin his own term. Request for deletion.

Article survived deletion review. The term is used within the film industry, and many usages have been cited. Captain Infinity (talk) 12:50, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pathetic excuse for an article[edit]

"emerging genre"? Don't think so... SSPecter ^☎|✉ ♠ _{02:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)}.

Zomedy

Neologism, not widely used. Captain Infinity (talk) 12:48, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

a few more[edit]

there were several jokes in Dawn of the Dead Luke12345abcd (talk) 23:16, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of movies have jokes in them to lighten the mood, that doesn't make them comedies. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 13:29, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agree 100% with zombie smurf, nearly 3 years later. Igottheconch (talk) 17:13, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Traditional? Classic?[edit]

Seems to me that the article, in using the words "traditional" and "classic" to separate Haitian/Voodoo zombies from the modern "Night Of The Living Dead"-type zombies has it exactly backwards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.193.128.193 (talk) 07:01, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Classic Zombies as opposed to new 'fast' zombies such as in 28 days later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.249.240.157 (talk) 18:56, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

indian zom-coms[edit]

added the following upcoming zom-coms:

The very first [[Indian]] zom-com is [[Rock The Shaadi]] (Wedding of the Dead), released in 2012. Another Indian 2012 Zom-com 2012 is [[Go Goa Gone]] with [[Saif Ali Khan]] and [[Zombie (2012 film)|Zombie]] with [[Luke Kelly]].<ref>Latika Mehta, [http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/Luke-Kenny-turns-Zombie/articleshow/11264079.cms Luke Kenny turns Zombie], ''[[Mumbai Mirror]]'', (December 27, 2011)</ref><ref>[http://www.hindustantimes.com/Entertainment/Bollywood/Rock-On-star-Luke-Kenny-turns-producer/Article1-787815.aspx Rock On star Luke Kenny turns producer], ''[[Indo-Asian News Service]]'', (December 27, 2011). Although Kenny states: " "The film is a Zombie Origin, and not a zom-com, or a Zombie survival film."</ref>

Rephrase?[edit]

"Elitism" may not be the right word, but the phrase "often called zom com or zomedy by those who are in the know" [emphasis added] sure smacks of something...
