Pegg plans comedy zombie film

Simon Pegg is planning to write a comedy horror film abour zombies.

But the Spaced star says he wants it to be genuinely scary, not a simple spoof.

He told Ananova: "I want to make sure it has equal amounts of comedy and horror. I don't want it to end up like one of those ironic comedies.

"I want the horror bit to be horrible and the comedy bits to be funny. Something like they achieved when they made An American Werewolf In London.

"It made audiences laugh but it also scared them."
