Saw a trailer for the film Wasting Away, which is a horror/comedy where a group of 4 people become zombies.
When the film is from the zombie perspective it's in colour, and the zombies talk and act like normal people. But, when it's from the human perspective it's in black and white, showing the zombies as rotting corpses staggering about.
One clip that stands out for me, is when one of the zombies is dancing, and from it's perspective he's doing dance movies and speaking. Than it cuts to the human perspective and shows the zombie shaking, staggering about, jibbering and moaning.
The film looks like it could be a giggle.

Wached this last night, and the way they did the colour vs black and white worked well. It wasn't overly gorey, unlike standard zombie films, hardly any blood or such which actually worked in the favour of the film as if it'd been full of gore the humour wouldn't have worked.
It's no Return of the Living Dead funny, but it's got enough in it to be fun with several laughs throughout.

I must say i watched this ages ago and didn't enjoy it that much. After werewolves, zombies have become my 2nd favourite genre so i've been watching all the offerings that the horror channel have shown and this was one of them. Your right though the use of colour vs black & white was good but it just wasn't funny enough for my liking. Return of the Living Dead remains the supreme zombie comedy. Mind you some of those old italian ones could give it a run for its money and they're not even supposed to be funny!

I agree with you, that Return of the Living Dead is pretty much the top zombie comedy film around. It's interesting that even though shaun of the dead is a zombie film, I tend not to put it in the zombie catagory, for me it's a comedy first and formost, where as RotLD is zombie first.
I watched the prequal 'Night of the Living Dead - Re-animated' over the weekend. It's a prequal to the 2006 remake of Day of the Dead. But it's not a remake of the original night of the living dead. It's set in a funeral home, where the dead have started getting up and the funural director is trying to control the situation.
It's not a great film, but watchable. Main reason I bought it was because it has Andrew Divoff and Jeffrey Combs in it.
