Through a strange convergence of events, the new stop-motion animated film "ParaNorman" arrives at the crossroads of two topics that are big these days (albeit in different sections of the newspaper): zombies and bullying.

Opening Friday, the film follows a young boy, Norman, who can see and talk to ghosts. When a dreaded curse unleashes zombies upon his town, Norman must save the day, while avoiding the local bully and other unsavory folks.

amNewYork spoke with the film's directors, Chris Butler and Sam Fell.
