A US university is offering a course on zombies.
Author Arnold Blumberg - who wrote a book on movies about the undead and is the curator of Geppi's Entertainment museum, which specialises in American pop culture - will teach the course at the University of Baltimore and college officials are confident students will learn many useful skills.
It's a back door into a lot of subjects
Jonathan Shorr, chairman of the university's School of Communications Design said: "It's a back door into a lot of subjects. They think they're taking this wacko zombie course, and they are. But on the way, they learn how literature and mass media work, and how they come to reflect our times."
Students will watch 16 classic horror films and read zombie comics while instead of a final research paper they may write scripts or draw storyboards.
