‘Shaun of the Dead’ Returns This Halloween!
Even though the long-promised Shaun of the Dead sequel appears to be deader than the zombies in the film, the characters of both Shaun and Ed are going to return in an upcoming Halloween special!
Simon Pegg revealed on Twitter that he and Nick Frost will once again play their Shaun characters in “Phineas and Ferb’s” upcoming Halloween special.
“Phineas and Ferb” is a Disney Channel animated comedy about two stepbrothers who find inventive things to do on each day of their summer vacation such as building a roller coaster out of materials you would find in your everyday home like Popsicle sticks, indoor plumbing, etc. Unbeknownst to them, their pet platypus, Perry, leads a double life as a secret agent.
Here’s news, @nickjfrost and myself will be once again stepping into Shaun and Ed’s shoes for the #PhineasAndFerb Halloween special. W00t!!
