** It's also harsh considering that Simon Pegg, so he could convey the character's emotions better, imagined ''his own mother'' dying and turning into a zombie, so the emotions were real.

Moving "damn, Simon Pegg needs an award for that scene" to YMMV


** Even worse than that was the moment where he breaks down in the Winchester basement. "I couldn't save any of them!" Just for a second he's way over the DespairEventHorizon, and he just thinks this caps off all the failures in his life...damn, Simon Pegg ''needs'' an award for that scene.

* Shaun exploding at Ed when the latter decides to take a phone call ''[[TooDumbToLive while zombies are still around]]''. Shaun bluntly states how much he covers for and enables Ed's antics, and all it gets him is more trouble. He might have said a lot more if not for it being pointed out to him that the zombies are paying attention.

** During most of her short time as a zombie, Barbara isn't hostile, simply staring blankly at her son, even as he has a gun pointed at her. The most she does before being shot is snarl viciously and even then, that was only after David demanded Shaun to shoot her, notably turning her head to David instead of Shaun despite her son being the closest. It's almost as if, even in her undead state, Barbara seemed to recognise Shaun and didn't want to harm him... But he had to put her down for everyone else's sake...

* The blink and you'll miss it moment showing a father and a couple of kids running out of a house form the zombified mother, and her catching one of the kids and dragging him back.

** And the bit just before that, when Diane asks Shaun if 'his dad' is all right, Shaun repeats the old refrain of "He's not my dad!" and Philip looking heartbroken.

* While he was a colossal twat for the entire movie, David's death is a little sad due to its sheer gruesomeness, the rest of the group trying in vain to save him and him being just about to apologize to Shaun for his behavior throughout the movie. There was also a deleted scene that showed him successfully apologizing before getting killed.

* Shaun having to shoot his zombified Mom is heartbreaking. His soft apology to her just before pulling the trigger and his expression after doing so makes it oh so much worse...
** Before that, when David points the gun at Barbara as she's dying, Shaun's scream at him to put the gun a way from his mom is palpable...
