THE iconic Shaun of the Dead film is being shown at Ayr's Astoria Cinema in the coming weeks to mark its 20th anniversary.

Shaun Of The Dead first graced cinema screens in 2004, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon and solidifying its place in the annals of horror-comedy history.

Directed by Edgar Wright and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the film has since amassed a dedicated following who have eagerly awaited its return to the big screen.

When flesh-eating zombies are on the hunt for a bite to eat, it’s up to slacker Shaun and his best pal Ed to save their friends and family from becoming the next entrée.

The Astoria in Burns Statue Square has announced two showings of the film to mark two decades since its release. 

It will be shown on Saturday, September 28 and Thursday, October 3. For tickets go to ayr.merlincinemas.co.uk/home.
