Concerning in-between bodies, zombie films have a unique vantage on miscegenation. Exploring earlier films alongside contemporary romantic comedies, it becomes clear that whereas earlier films shut down symbolic interracial fantasies, contemporary films do not. This isn't without problems, as some films still rescue zombies from zombiness (and hence, their blackness)
