Whereas Romero’s original film was in part a metaphor for American consumerism, the title sequence for the updated Dawn of the Dead touches upon the idea of Holy War as harbinger to the apocalypse, and details the consequences for the media when it decides to ask tough questions as the feeding is already upon us (they are shot).

Kyle Cooper’s design dovetails what appears to be real war-torn footage with actual human blood as Johnny Cash raises the stakes in newfound context. Remaining shelters have been compromised and the machine we are trapped in is bleeding to death.

With the backdrop of a high school science text book this opening brilliantly weaves its deliberately cliché-ridden tale, taking every sitcom formula and soap opera stereotype, and crafting it into pure comedic gold. The amazing writing, performances, music, art direction and animation could only lead to one thing - cancellation - which MTV did in 2003 after only 13 episodes.
