Horror parody research

A parody is an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect. this is when you use someone else's idea and turn it into a mock film.  Examples of horror parody are: 
Shaun of the Dead (2004; parody of zombie films)

Shaun of the dead is a parody of zombie films, it is mocking zombie films because the zombies portrayed in here are not really how they are portrayed in Resident Evil. Parodies are made for people's entertainment, parodies just basically imitate other movies just like Shaun Of The Dead imitating Resident Evil. They also show how nothing is without flaw, much like human nature. Parodies show how each situation has humour in it, no matter how bad the situation may be. They show how trivial many things may be, especially those highly commercialized by society.
