Plot

Shaun Riley is an appliance salesman who is going nowhere in life; he follows a mundane routine, and his girlfriend Liz is dissatisfied with their relationship, primarily because it revolves around going to "The Winchester", Shaun's favourite pub every night. He also has issues with his hated stepfather Phillip, his increasingly unhappy flatmate Pete, and a dissatisfying job where his younger co-workers show him no respect. Following a broken promise to do something special for their anniversary, Liz dumps Shaun. Shaun decides to drown his sorrows at the pub with his other flatmate Ed, his best friend. After a night of drinking, he has an epiphany and resolves to sort his life out. An epiphany is the sudden realization or comprehension of the (larger essence or meaning of something

Unfortunately, this revelation comes at the same time as an uprising of the undead, who begin to attack and devour the living. Shaun comes to realise the gravity of the situation after having a close shave with a zombie. Shaun, along with Ed, proceeds to rescue his loved ones, deciding to take Liz, along with Shaun's mother Barbara, and step father Phillip. Liz's friends, David and Dianne also come with them to the Winchester Pub to survive the plague.

During their journey, Phillip is mortally wounded but manages to make his peace with Shaun before turning into a zombie, forcing the group to abandon him, and their car, and go the rest of the way on foot. The remaining group find the Winchester surrounded by zombies, and they approach the pub by impersonating zombie behaviour, but they are discovered after the zombies hear them talking and arguing. Luckily Shaun manages to draw the undead away while the others barricade themselves inside. Shaun returns to the pub thinking that he gave the zombies the slip, but the zombies followed him, and soon break in. Barbara is shot by Shaun after becoming a zombie, David is pulled through a smashed window, torn apart and eaten, Dianne charges outside in a vain attempt to save David, exposing the others to the zombies. Ed decides to stay behind after being bitten, and Shaun has a final confrontation with a zombified Pete. Shaun and Liz, who have reconciled over the course of the day, prepare for one last great battle against the zombie horde, but are saved by the British Army.

Six months after the zombie outbreak, society has returned to normal, and the remaining zombies have now become a part of everyday life, being used as cheap labour and game show participants. Shaun and Liz move in together, along with undead Ed, who is kept in the garden shed, leashed and playing TimeSplitters 2. TimeSplitters 2 is a First-person shooter Video game available for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube

Pegg and Wright also scripted a one-off tie-in comic strip for the British comic magazine 2000AD entitled "There's Something About Mary".

It features expanded appearances from many of the minor or background characters who appear in the film. The strip was made available on the DVD release of Shaun.

George A. Romero was so impressed with Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright's work that he asked them to appear in cameo roles in Land of the Dead, the fourth part of his "Dead" series. Land of the Dead (also known as George A Romero's Land of the Dead) is the fourth film in George A Pegg and Wright insisted on being zombies rather than the slightly more noticeable roles that were originally offered (as revealed in a DVD interview).

Cultural references

As with Spaced, in keeping with Pegg and Wright's adoration of the horror genre and specific films within that genre, as well as popular culture in general, there are many in-jokes and references to other films, television programs and pop-culture artifacts. Many of these references are mentioned in the 'Trivia Track' subtitling feature on the film's DVD and take the form of character names, scenes, snippets of dialogue and background materials. They are made both overtly (such as David's death scene in Shaun, which reflects the similar death of Captain Rhodes in Day of the Dead, and the use of the sentence "We're coming to get you, Barbara!" from Night of the Living Dead) or in a more subtle fashion (such as Foree Electronics, Shaun's workplace, being a reference to Ken Foree, a star of Dawn of the Dead). Kentotis Alvin Foree (born February 29, 1948) is an American actor

Prominent are many references to George A. Romero's earlier Dead films (Night, Dawn and Day of the Dead, with Dawn in particular being referenced). George Andrew Romero (born February 4, 1940) is an American director writer editor and actor Night of the Living Dead (1968 directed by George Romero, is an independent Black-and-white Horror film. Dawn of the Dead (also known as George A Romero's Dawn of the Dead, Zombie internationally Zombies in Britain, and alternately called Day of the Dead (also known as George A Romero's Day of the Dead) is a Horror film by director George A In particular, the plot of Shaun relates directly to the plots of Romero's zombie films — all of which involve several people trapped in a building, with flesh-eating zombies attempting to break in to devour them, without a direct explanation for the cause of the zombie plague. The title Shaun of the Dead is also both an obvious parody of and homage to the title Dawn of the Dead. Numerous lines, scenes and background details also directly refer to the Romero films, including the music playing over the Universal logo, which is the synthesizer soundtrack to Dawn of the Dead. The film also features a Kid Koala remix of "The Gonk," which was used over the closing credits of Dawn. Eric San (born 1974 in Vancouver, Canada), who records under the name Kid Koala, is a Montreal, Quebec based DJ and A remix is an alternative version of a song different from the original version A Gonk is a small furry soft toy which was extremely popular in the 1960s and 1980s as a gift Closing credits, inside a Motion picture or Television program come at the end of a movie or show and list all the cast and crew involved in the production

Other than Romero's work, many other references to horror films are made, such as the The Evil Dead series, 28 Days Later and the films of horror directors Lucio Fulci and John Carpenter. The Evil Dead (also known as Evil Dead, The Book of the Dead, Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead and 28 Days Later is a 2002 British post-apocalyptic Science fiction film directed by Danny Boyle. Lucio Fulci ( June 17, 1927 – March 13, 1996) was an Italian film director, Screenwriter, and Actor John Howard Carpenter (born January 16, 1948) is an American Film director, Screenwriter, producer, film score More diversely, references to Blade, The Deer Hunter, Reservoir Dogs, the films of James Cameron and the Star Wars trilogy can be found.

Pegg and Wright have referred to Shaun of the Dead as being the first film in their "Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy" with Hot Fuzz as the second. Hot Fuzz is a 2007 British action Comedy film written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright and starring Simon Both films feature substantial amounts of blood, and the main character eating Cornetto ice cream (red for Shaun of the Dead, blue for Hot Fuzz).
