Available for streaming on Amazon Prime.
Life After Beth
Zach is utterly devastated by the death of his girlfriend Beth. When she unexpectedly returns, his whole world is suddenly flipped upside down! Beth begins an unseemly transformation from the woman he loves into something…well, you’ll see. It’s snarky, sweet, and of course darkly humorous.

Warm Bodies
This quirky teen romance horror comedy is the perfect date night choice. A witty, snarky adaptation of the novel by the same name, Warm Bodies tells the tale of an unlikely romance between the living and the dead.

Rife with plenty of humor to entertain teenagers and adults alike, this is a clever take on the zombie apocalypse story.

ParaNorman
Norman has a special ability. He can speak to the dead! He’s so good at it, in fact, he prefers chatting with them instead of the living.

Shaun of the Dead
This comedy-horror classic by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright has worked its way into so much of popular culture already.

But in the event you’ve never heard of it: the fate of London lies in the hands of a dingus salesman and his bumbling buddies! It’s good. Trust us.
Available to rent or buy on Amazon.
