Freak Out Friday — Joe R. Lansdale’s classic Christmas Zombie tale, “Christmas With The Dead”

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, I really am starting to appreciate Holiday Horror thanks mostly to Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving – such a dope film. Anyway, to kick off the season with a good holiday horror read, “Christmas With The Dead.

Deck the halls with boughs of zombies! In his original short story, Christmas with the Dead, acclaimed author Joe R. Lansdale delivers a holly-jolly horror story like no other.

Meet Calvin, a man determined to bring the Christmas spirit back to his zombie-infested town, even if it means risking life and limb to hang up those Christmas lights.

This festive compilation includes the original short story, the screenplay adaptation by Keith Lansdale that brought the nightmare to life on screen, and a foreword by the film’s director T.L. Lankford which provides an inside look at how this yuletide terror came to life-filmed under the blazing Texas sun, no less.
