Ho Ho HOH MY GOD THERE ARE ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE!

Tis the season for the undead to walk the Earth. If the Chinese calendar could add one more animal to the cycle, somewhere between the rat and the pig you might find the zombie. It has been a big year for the undead, and what better way to celebrate the season than to finish off a few walkers.

How the Star Wars Christmas special should have been

Who can forget the original Star Wars Holiday Special? It was a time of cheer, when our favorite members of the Star Wars universe came together and shattered our childhood illusions by presenting an epically bad look at the universe we had all sunk our dreams into.
