Plus, doing a zombie movie is quite liberating. It's fun not to take myself seriously all the time.

I love zombie films like Danny Boyle's '28 Days Later' - I thought it was so brilliantly done and so grounded in reality. I was definitely thrust into the zombie world watching that film.

I can't say I was like a die-hard zombie fan, but I've definitely seen a few different zombie movies and TV shows.

A non-frightening zombie is a lame zombie.

I do like the zombie movies quite a bit. I know there are purist zombie guys that don't like the running zombies, but I dig the infected thing. I think that's a scarier incorporation of an element into the genre.

A zombie apocalypse isn't the most jovial situation.

I am a huge zombie fan. I have probably seen the George Romero movies 100 times each, without exaggeration.

When I started writing, there was nothing about zombies. It was all teen movies, which to me are scarier than zombies, but that's another story.

I think the fascination with zombies is that they don't obey the rules of monsters. The first rule of monsters is that you have to go find them. You have to make a conscious choice to go to the swamp or the desert or the abandoned summer camp.

I always look for an intense experience, an intense ride. There is nothing better than a good zombie movie where you run crazy and blow at monsters! It was a physical shoot and I enjoyed it.
