Finding Christmas time a little to much? Well, it could be worse…much worse! Luke Snellin brings a little Christmas Time (of the Dead) to the season’s festivities, soundtracked by Emmy The Great and Time Wheeler’s latest Christmas collab ‘Zombie Christmas’.

Playing off some classic zombie film clichés (shopping centre anyone?) and adding some top-notch Brit-com humour, Luke’s definitely made a winner. Some notable moments include Tim Wheeler embedding half his Flying-V into a Zombie’s shoulder, undead Santa and the arrival of a gang of courageous zombie ‘sleighing’ festive friends. It’s as comforting as a cup of cocoa, but with more zombies.

Looking forward to Luke’s upcoming feature debut ‘The Wanderers’ which is a “non-conventional Brit pop teen musical” with music by Emmy, Tim and Blur’s Graham Coxon.

“It was a lot of festive/undead fun which overcame a challenging budget,” says Luke about Zombie Christmas. “I worked with actors I’d used on a variety of projects before like Ben Dilloway, Bill Milner (Son of Rambow, X-Men: First Class) and David Fynn (Game of Thrones, Pete Vs Life) and some new ones like Robert Emms (War Horse, Mirror Mirror, Kick Ass 2) and Sarah Sweeney. All an absolute pleasure to work with.

“I ended up writing a really ambitious film script with dialogue scenes and other bits which then got compressed and tightened into what the video is now in order to make things achievable. We shot in an old abandoned mall in Colindale which had no power, running water or heating but it was a really cosy and festive shoot and I want to thank everyone that came down and got their zombie on and to the label for being so cool with everything!”
