Who is Team Unicorn, why haven't I heard of them until now, and why is
"A Very Zombie Holiday" the best thing ever? Is it the best thing ever?
It's the best thing ever. Redundancy be damned, be damned! There is no
emoticon for the anger I'm feeling for not being aware of this troupe!
Team Unicorn is apparently a small comedy team comprised of four
hilarious and incredibly gorgeous women whose entire shtick revolves
around comedy shorts. This one in particular is called "A Very Zombie
Holiday." What do you do when you're preparing for holiday festivities
and that darned zombie apocalypse comes banging down your doors? Well,
you would be better off watching this classic fifties PSA from Team
Unicorn who advises the more conscious zombie fighting house wife in the
audience on what to do in case a gut muncher appears at your door the
night before the big family gathering.

Don't finish your pies before
dropping some dead heads, always be sure you can identify a
dead head in a crowd of carolers, and always give Junior and
Sally their own glocks to pop a cap in grandma's ass, should
she rise from the grave to feast on their innards under the
tree. Filled with incredible zombie make up effects, and
creepy moments where the Team examine the ill-advised
housewife over the prepared housewife, "A Very Zombie
Holiday" is a wicked good time worthy of a full length
comedy spoof that can take these four beauties and turn them
in to a June Cleaver meets Rambo combo we can root for. |

While only three
minutes in length, "A Very Zombie Holiday" sports some great gore,
tongue in cheek humor that's quite laugh out loud funny, and a firm
grasp of the PSA format that makes this feel insanely genuine, even when
delivering the scares. You also have to love fantastic moments including
one house wife bringing down a group of zombies with a machine gun in
her kitchen while pulling pies out of her oven, and two toddlers yanking
AK-47's and semi-automatics from their gift boxes to bring down their
undead granny. You'd have to be a grinch to not appreciate this
veritable buffet of beauty, laughs, and creeps.
I've sadly never heard
of Team Unicorn until now and I intend to rectify this error by
schooling myself in their shorts. But as an introduction, "A Very Zombie
Holiday" is a funny, creepy, and entertaining short revisiting of the
classic movie reels that you'd be watch in case judgment day comes
pounding down your doors before Christmas.
