Questions for Charlie Higson:
What was your inspiration for The Enemy?
George Romero’s early zombie films – Night of the Living Dead & Dawn of the Dead mostly. But there are bits of Lord of the Rings, fairy tales and the tales of the Greek heroes.
Which character was the most fun to write?
Small Sam and the Kid. They’re a good double act.
Are any of your characters based on real people?
I use my own kids and their friends for inspiration, but there is no one character that is based on one particular person.
What was the last film that blew you away?
Pan’s Labyrinth was amazing. Special effects and fantasy are used for more than just pretty pictures.
Who would you choose to be if you could be a celebrity for the day?
That idea is just too scary to contemplate. My God, imagine !

Charlie Higson loves what could be THE debut of 2011, Undead by Kirsty McKay: 'A kick-ass teen-action zombie-fest. Fast, furious, freaky, funny and seriously sick. Oh, and did I mention it kicks ass ?'
