I'm choosing to do my paper on how one specific rule of physics is broken in three different films: John Carpenter's Vampires, Dawn of the Dead and Shawn of the Dead. Though if I can think of/get my hands on another fitting film I might swap out Dawn of the Dead (if only just because its two zombie films and one lonely vampire film ;P)
