Scared to Death
Jasper, a young filmmaker, seizes a chance to direct when his crew attends a séance in a haunted children's shelter. Trapped inside, they're haunted by ghostly orphans and a sinister force.
Shaun of the Dead
Shaun lives a supremely uneventful life, which revolves around his girlfriend, his mother, and, above all, his local pub. This gentle routine is threatened when the dead return to life and make strenuous attempts to snack on ordinary Londoners.
