Ever since Daily Dead Managing Editor Heather Wixson gave it a five-star review, we've been excited for Daily Dead readers to unwrap the holiday horrors of the zombie Christmas musical Anna and the Apocalypse. We're thrilled that Heather will be hosting a special Q&A with director John McPhail and co-star Chris Leveaux this Friday in Los Angeles, and to give you an idea of what to expect, Orion Pictures released a new clip from the film that features the rise of the living dead and an oblivious dance number in the midst of their carnage.

Directed by John McPhail from a screenplay by Alan McDonald and Ryan McHenry, Anna and the Apocalypse stars Ella Hunt, Malcom Cumming, Ben Wiggins, Sarah Swire, Christopher Leveaux, Marli Siu, Mark Benton, and Paul Kaye.

Orion Pictures will release Anna and the Apocalypse in select theaters on November 30th, followed by a nationwide release on December 7th.

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..."
