The zombie comedy,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Night of the Living Dorks )〕 often called zom com or zomedy, is a film genre that aims to blend zombie horror motifs with slapstick comedy as well as dark comedy. ==History== The earliest roots of the genre can be found in Jean Yarbrough's ''King of the Zombies'' (1941) and Gordon Douglas's ''Zombies on Broadway'' (1945), though both of these films dealt with Haitian-style zombies. While not comedies, George A. Romero's ''Dawn of the Dead'' (1978) and ''Day of the Dead'' (1985) featured several comedic scenes. ''An American Werewolf in London'' (1981)〔Nelson, Resa (2004). ("Science Fiction Weekly Interview" ). ''SciFi Weekly, Issue 388'', paragraph 4. Retrieved April 9, 2007.〕 and the ''Return of the Living Dead'' series (1985)〔Dellamorte (January 22, 2003). (''Return of the Living Dead'' ). ''Classic Horror Review''. Retrieved April 9, 2007.〕 (especially the first two and the last of the series) can be considered some of the earliest examples of Zombie-comedy using the modern zombie. Other early examples include ''Mr. Vampire'' (1985), ''Evil Dead II'' (1987), ''CHUD II: Bud the CHUD'' (1989), ''Braindead'' (1992), and ''Bio Zombie'' (1998). Modern zombie comedies include Edgar Wright's ''Shaun of the Dead''〔Edelstein, David (September 23, 2004). ("The Importance of Being Undead: A Zombie Comedy of Manners" ). ''Slate Magazine''. Retrieved April 9, 2007.〕 (which was in fact a self-dubbed Romantic Zombie Comedy, or RomZomCom). This movie made many in-jokes and references to George A. Romero's earlier ''Dead'' films, especially Dawn of the Dead. Andrew Currie's ''Fido'',〔Capt. Xerox (March 16, 2007). ("Critics Love the New Zombie Comedy ''Fido''" ). ''The Website @ The End Of The Universe''. Retrieved April 9, 2007.〕 Matthew Leutwyler's ''Dead & Breakfast'', and Peter Jackson's ''Braindead'', are also good examples of zombie comedies.〔Frazer, Bryant. (''Braindead'' (review) ). ''Deep Focus''. Retrieved April 9, 2007.〕 Sam Raimi's ''Evil Dead II'', although a horror film, contains some light hearted and dark comedy elements, and its sequel, ''Army of Darkness'', is even more comedic. ''The Evil Dead'' series does not, however, feature any traditional style zombies. Other films that could be considered zombie comedies include the 1986 film ''Redneck Zombies'', 1993's ''My Boyfriend's Back'', 1986's ''Night of the Creeps'', 1998's ''Bio Zombie'', 1999's ''Idle Hands'', starring Devon Sawa and Seth Green, 2005's ''Tokyo Zombie'', 2005's ''Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead'', 2008's ''Dance of the Dead'' and ''Zombie Strippers'', as well as 2009's ''Dead Snow'' and ''Zombieland'', starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin, Zombie Dearest, 2011's DeadHeads, 2013's Warm Bodies, Buck Wild Movie, Zombie eXs, First Platoon and Cockneys vs Zombies, 2014's ''Life After Beth''. and Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead, and 2015's Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse. Bollywood (Hindi) movie "Go Goa Gone" is also such movie. Another example of the genre is "Juan De Los Muertos" (2010), released in the UK and US as "Juan of The Dead". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zombie comedy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
