Tonight at 6:30 p.m., the Littlewill screen Shaun of the Dead (Edgar Wright, U.K. / France / U.S., 2004, 99 min.)—inexplicably as part of their Science on Screen Series followed by a discussion with virus experts Dr. Luis Martinez-Sobrido, and Dr. David Topham.

There comes a day in every man's life when he has to get off the couch… and kill some zombies. When flesh-eating zombies are on the hunt for a bite to eat, it's up to slacker Shaun (Simon Pegg) and his best pal (Nick Frost) to save their friends and family from becoming the next entree. Satisfy your bloodthirsty appetite with the movie that masters of horror and film critics alike hailed as the funniest and scariest movie of 2004. Novelist Stephen King gushed, "It's a 10 on the fun meter and destined to be a cult classic" and Newsweek called Shaun of the Dead "a bloody hoot!" It's a screamingly hilarious zomedy that will have you dying with laughter.
