Description This paper inspects David Cronenberg’s 1975 film Shivers through philosophical concept of desiring-production by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The paper explores the connection and goes on to propose that a new, hybrid and subversive, type of undead is born somewhere in-between during the process of desiring-production at work in Shivers. The paper then explains the subversive hybridization as one of the typical perceptions of the Zombie and the Vampire cultural phenomena.
