I've never been into zombie movies, but, that is an interesting bit of trivia. Thanks for sharing. ;)

yes, I think Middle Earth got assigned around middle school.....the books were good stuff, and kept imaginations active.....I know I devoured it....

the movies turned out to be pretty decent too!!!

PS: some trivia, Peter Jackson also did one of the goriest movies ever, at least at the time....I saw this long before he did any Tolkien, and thought it was brilliant (if you like that kind of movie, it is very graphic)...

Braindead, released as Dead Alive in North America, is a 1992 New Zealand zombie horror comedy gore film co-written and directed by Peter Jackson.

The film was written by Jackson with his partner Fran Walsh and Stephen Sinclair. It was a commercial failure at the time of its release, but has since gained a cult status following Jackson's fame with The Lord of the Rings trilogy, receiving positive reviews from contemporary critics.[2][3]
