    I’ve always wanted a zombie movie that focused on the absurd boredom and how you might combat it. Like setting up Rube Goldberg killing machines

      I’m pretty sure I’ve read some zombie stories that brought up that very idea, killing the zombies in fun ways just because they were bored. One I can think of would be Newsflesh. Not about boredom per se, but humanity has learnt to more-or-less coexist with the Z virus. Post-post-apocalyptic setting. Killing zombies in fun and novel ways isn’t the theme, but comes up now and then. Really interesting novel.
