"The Blackening," "Scream," and More Meta Horror Movies

This movie's title — a pun on the horror film "Dawn of the Dead" — already lets you know a little bit about what you're getting into. This horror comedy, released in 2004, follows two slackers who find themselves in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. "Shaun of the Dead" is filled to the brim with references to other horror movies, including "Night of the Living Dead," " From Dusk Till Dawn," and "28 Days Later," among others.
