Cartoon Network's Regular Show pays homage to the horror genre

This week's episode of Regular Show (Grave Sights) on Cartoon network payed tribute to films such as Suspiria, Army of Darkness and Evil Dead.

The two main characters, Mordecai and Rigby, propose an idea to show a horror movie at an abandoned cemetery. Benson accepts their idea and promises them a paid day-off, but will only reward them if it works.

Mordecai discovers this "classic of Italian horror" at a local video store. An obvious homage to Dario Argento and his films such as Suspiria


So, the two decide to rent Zombocalypse 3D, complete with a projector and numerous sets of 3D glasses. Later into the night, large crowds are drawn to watch the movie

However, due to a mistake while setting up the movie, it releases an electrical surge that somehow reanimates the corpses buried in the ground; thus, real zombies emerge and try to attack the crowd (who are unaware as they think the zombies are 3D effects).

Mordecai and Rigby fight the zombies, eventually destroying all of them. Meanwhile, everyone enjoys the movie. Benson also enjoyed it, and rewards Mordecai and Rigby with their paid day-off. However, Benson (unaware of what happened) wants the two to replicate their success with Horror Movie Night... (via Wikipedia)

Brendan Fraser had a guest appearance as the voice of the Ash-like character in the fake ZOMBOCALYPSE 3D film

Don't you mean Army of Darkness for the Zombocalypse cover?

It's difficult to see but I though it resembled Doom. Probably has some Army of Darkness too
