Last week, Rob G., Zomb-Ian, and myself headed into a Borders’s in Manhattan for an in-store signing with Shaun of the Dead stars Simon Pegg (Shaun) and Nick Frost (Ed). The guys were there to sign copies of the recently released DVD and give away a signed script to whomever came in the best zombie costume. While I didn’t have time to dress-up, as you can see, Icons of Fright’s own Zomb-Ian did. Both Simon and Nick were a pleasure to meet, graciously pointed out that I had red on me, and happily signed a DVD for our friend to read, “Happy Birthday Fuckface.” (followed by an apology from Simon) Even better, they let everyone who wanted pictures with them take one. They even took a picture of Ian’s costume. Unfortunately for Zomb-Ian, the prized signed script went to the gentlemen pictured below. Well deserved, we must say. Also check out the awesome “record zombie” costume. – Mike C.

Mike’s not sure what Zombian is moaning about. We’re about to meet Simon Pegg & Nick Frost!

Who says zombies can’t learn anything new & exciting?

Icons Of Fright staffers Mike C, Zomb-Ian, and Rob G eagerly await Shaun’s arrival!

M-uuuughhhh!

At last! Simon Pegg (Shaun) & Nick Frost (Ed) meet and love Ian’s zombie costume.

Wilkie’s excited to meet his screen counter-part, Ed.

“You’ve got red on you,” Simon proclaims to Mike about his hair.

Thumbs up for Rob G from the boys! Aces!!!
