― Shaun after seeing Pete as a zombie in the bar

Pete is the short-tempered flatmate of Shaun Riley and Ed in the film Shaun of the Dead. He has a very low tolerance for Ed and continually attempts to persuade Shaun to evict him. When turned into a zombie, he infects Ed after following him to The Winchester and is eventually killed by Shaun with the Winchester rifle.

Background[]

Pete met the pair at university, once selling marijuana to Shaun. On one occasion he stayed up all night drinking schnapps with Shaun and Ed. Pete's view of Ed went downhill from there, and he now sees him as only holding Shaun back. Ed dislikes Pete in return, and these tensions escalate the night before Z-Day when Pete screams at the pair for blasting music "at four in the fucking morning." Here it is revealed that Pete was bitten on his way home from work.

Z-Day[]

Having already been infected, Pete turns into a zombie early in the morning, presumably while taking a shower. He encounters Shaun in the bathroom and later follows him from the house. At The Winchester, Pete infiltrates the pub along with the other zombies, and he is the one responsible for biting Ed. After this, Shaun shoots Pete in the face while shouting, "I said leave him alone!"

Physical Appearance[]

Pete had fair skin, dark hair, and blue-green eyes. As a human, he wore a dark suit, light-blue dress shirt, and a dark blue tie. As a zombie, Pete was naked and had pale skin, dark hair, and white eyes.

Trivia[]

  • Pete is seen answering his cellphone and talking to Dom. This is a reference to actor Peter Serafinowicz character Duane Benzie on the television sitcom Spaced, which was also directed by Edgar Wright.
  • Like all of the other characters in the film, Pete is oblivious to the zombie uprising, as he derides the zombies as "crackheads."
  • Because of the high amount of swearing Pete uses in his final scene as a human, there was a remake of the scene that Simon Pegg did, called "Funky Pete", in which Pete's swearing is replaced with "funk".
