As long as we're talking about zombies...

Shaun gets a release on DVD on Dec 21 in the US, just in time for Christmas. Which leads to some silliness on my part. During an email conversation with the ex, I happened to mention that there's never been any zombie Christmas movie ever done, at least not any I've heard of. So I started brainstorming an idea for a zombie Christmas movie, in which Santa has to stave off an army of zombie elves. There was an idea for a scene ripping off Resident Evil, only instead of a zombie doberman, it would be a zombie reindeer about to stomp Santa flat. At which point Rudolph comes in and mows the zombie reindeer down with automatic weapons fire, with the catch phrase for the trailer "I got your reindeer games RIGHT HERE!" But I digress...

The point of mentioning this is that the ex and I came up with a couple of zombie Christmas carols that I wanted to share with you for your amusement. If you can come up with additional lyrics, please feel free to leave them in the comments.

Zombie Family Christmas (to the tune of O Tannenbaum) courtesy Brea and myself.

O Zombie Mom O Zombie Mom
Upon fresh brains you're dining
O Zombie Mom O Zombie Mom
Upon fresh brains you're dining
Your little brats, they used to bleat
But now they're all just zombie meat
O Zombie Mom O Zombie Mom
Upon fresh brains you're dining

O Zombie Dad O Zombie Dad
Across your lawn you're shuffling
O Zombie Dad O Zombie Dad
Across your lawn you're shuffling
Under your roof, you were the law
Now human flesh, you like it raw
O Zombie Dad O Zombie Dad
Across your lawn you're shuffling

Oh zombie son oh zombie son
Poor Rover you’ve dismembered
Oh zombie son oh zombie son
Poor Rover you’ve dismembered
He was man’s best friend but now
He’s just Purina zombie chow
Oh zombie son oh zombie son
Poor Rover you’ve dismembered.

I'm Dreaming of an Undead Christmas (one lyric, via Brea)


I’m dreaming of an Undead Christmas
Just like Romero used to know
Where the elves are zombies
Humans walking salamis
And the reindeer set fire traps in the snow.

I know we need help, but there's gotta be a market for it out there somewhere...
