I thought _How to Survive a Horror Movie_ was pretty good. Maybe I’ll buy the zombie thing after all.

So let’s re-imagine classic movie lines, but all zombie-fied!

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give up brains!”

“Luke – I am your ZOMBIE FATHER!”

“Maybe you don’t eat brains now, but if you don’t you’ll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon – and for the rest of your unlife.”

You gotta get the title format right. For a Hornblower story, you’d have either:

**Hornblower and the Zombie** (the quirk with this format is that _Zombie_ would necessarily have to be the name of his ship.

or

**Zombie Hornblower**

Other possible titles include **The Zombie Return** (or the much better American title: **Beat to Zombies** ), **A Zombie of the Line** , or **Flying Zombies**

Bonus points for **Zombie Midshipman Hornblower** or short story titles like **Hornblower and the Zombie McCool**

“Slap Shot” with Paul Newman had a zombie in it. Or am I thinking of a zamboni?
