There aren’t enough holiday horror films, which is why I’m a bit excited to see what Joe R. Lansdale’s Christmas with the Dead turns out like. This morning the official website updated production adding that Terrill Lee Lankford will take over directing duties.
Joe R. Lansdale, prolific author of such notable stories as the “Hap and Leonard” series of novels, “The Bottoms” and the unforgettable “Bubba Ho-Tep,” the first of his works to be made into a movie, is about to bring his very own zombies to the big screen.
Lansdale’s latest short story, to be released in early 2011, is ready to be made into a movie: “Christmas with the Dead”. The author has previous undead entries with “Dead in the West”, “On the Far Side of the Cadillac Desert With Dead Folks,” and most recently “Deadman’s Road,” as well as an entry in BOOM!’s comic, “Zombie Tales”.
