Anna and the Apocalypse: Go behind the scenes of the holiday zombie musical
“Christmas is fast becoming my least favorite ‘C’ word.”
Find out about the making of the holiday musical zombie comedy movie ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE.
’Tis the season! For our list of the funniest zombie movies, we had to include the seasonal zom-com musical, Anna and the Apocalypse.
A zombie apocalypse threatens the sleepy town of Little Haven—at Christmas—forcing Anna and her friends to fight, slash and sing their way to survival, facing the undead in a desperate race to reach their loved ones.
But they soon discover that no one is safe in this new world, and with civilization falling apart around them, the only people they can truly rely on are each other.
