Here’s a fun Easter egg. In the original script, the pub was called The Queen’s Head. They changed it to The Winchester. Why? Probably to avoid being too on-the-nose with Britishness. But also, “Winchester” sounds tougher. It’s a rifle. It’s a cathedral. It’s a solid name for a zombie-fighting pub.
The pub itself has a personality. It’s not fancy. It smells like stale lager and regret. But that’s exactly why we love it. It feels real.
The Bit with the Jukebox
Let’s not forget the jukebox. The whole bar fight sequence is choreographed to Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now.” The jukebox starts playing. The zombies get smashed. It’s pure, joyful chaos. The music turns a horror scene into a comedy ballet.
And the bartender just keeps serving. Even as patrons get eaten. That’s dedication. Or just British politeness. “Your usual, Shaun?”
