What happens when the gang from the hit series The Walking Dead find themselves in a very Romero-Esque shopping mall with a Christmas theme?
Check out the short written by Benjamin Wilson and Matt Schenk that was entered in the Scriptapalooza Short Holiday Contest.

Damn! Is there any way you guys could have developed this into a full on spec episode without running into the issue that Glenn points out??
"I don't know…I think I've seen this movie before."
You captured the characters well. Even though Shane and Lori are dead, I can still see/hear them in the script.
Surprisingly, there wasn't any danger in the script, other than the brief moment with the Santa Walker. But I guess the theme and tone were meant to be light and comedic which is cool.
Fun read!
Thanks, John. That's a really good point about the danger. I think that would be easier to incorporate the danger aspect in a full episode. It'd be interesting to do one over ten pages too…have a short that's just one long, tense situation. It would be interesting to expand that short into an hour long spec. I think we could avoid running into a problem by stretching out the opening and the ending. Not a bad idea to have in our back pocket…when we finish our other current scripting projects.
