"Weird In The Face Of Death": How Shaun of the Dead Inspired Finn Wolfhard’s New Horror Comedy

Finn Wolfhard reveals how Shaun of the Dead inspired his new horror comedy Hell of a Summer, influencing its focus on the character’s personal struggles in ways that allowed them to be “weird in the face of death“. Wolfhard and Billy Bryk’s directorial debut stars the two as summer camp councilors that find themselves stalked by a masked killer the eve before the campers arrive. Shaun of the Dead starred Simon Pegg as a slacker who’s forced to address his shortcomings and frayed relationships when the dead rise and shamble through the streets of London.
