    Dark Humor

    Standing in line for the roller coasters at Six Flags, I often wondered what would happen if there was a zombie infestation at a theme park. It didn't take long for me to think of long lines as a convenient buffet for the zombie horde on the go. My simulations usually took place right as the apocalypse was happening; however, Zombieland answers the zombie/theme park question a couple months after zombies have taken over. I'm not giving anything away but it did have some nice suggestions. The theme park was just a part of Zombieland and on the whole it was a fun, hilarious movie rife with dark humor. And zombies.

    Besides from my deep love for zombie movies, I'm also particularly fond of dark humor and have a few favorites.

    1. Black Sheep
    What's not to love about giant weresheep and carnivorous wooly flocks terrorizing the New Zealand hills?

    2. American Werewolf in London
    I can't mention sheep without bringing up this particular werewolf and all the rotting victims that follow him.

    3. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
    This book became infinitely more entertaining to me once zombies and ninjas were included.

    Any other suggestions while I knit on the giant scarf and maybe whip up a few more of these Halloween themed washcloths for myself?

    Have you read or listened to The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman? I recommend listening to it. The author reads it, and he has a lovely voice and style.

    I've heard of it but haven't really given it a close look.  Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to check it out.

    I like the themed washcloths! And now I have a giant craving for a zombie movie.
