...creators of Zombieland - writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick and director Ruben Fleischer, all of whom have worked for MTV - know this. They start with a premise that sounds like a horror-comedy remake of National Lampoon's Vacation.

"If you don't hit it," DeGooyer explained, "you'll hear some dissonance or you won't hear anything at all." (It's a very forgiving game.) (See the top 10 fake bands...
