for Zombie Horror films. This movie rocked. I loved the sequence where they formulate the plan to get Shaun's mom and then visualize the scenario followed by having tea.

That was their one 'Spaced' moment. Both director and star (Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg) were behind the UK tv show called Spaced, during which they came up with the idea of doing Shaun (one episode aluded to zombie films).
In the film they deliberately avoided a lot of techniques they used in Spaced, but that 'planning' sequence they couldn't help themselves and call it the 'Spaced' moment in the film.
Check out Spaced if you liked Shaun. Not available in the US (music copyright issues) but available for import.

PS The Idle Hands comparison is a good one, a little gem of a movie that.

I concur with Dave. He turned me on to SPACED and I've loved every moment of it. It's not available on DVD in the States but from what I understand Bravo has the television rights and from time-to-time they do air the episodes. They just never seem to announce when.

Very fun movie. I thought the part where they first discover the zombies in the back yard was hilarious. Especially the part with Shaun's album collection.
I like when Ed takes a pic of Shaun fighting the girl in the backyard.
And when Shaun and Ed are on the way out of the bar, singing "dibby dibby dibby ...." [zombie groans]
