Above you lay the three-part tale of Ed Helms as a Zombie-American.
Below the threshold you’ll find two more short tales of comedy mixed with horror.
We long forgot where this was found.
Try as we might we can’t un-see it.
Cheekyboy‘s Halloween Haunt Megamix has hootenanny written all over it.
The end of Halloween 2009 has creeped upon us. It’s time to clear out some Halloween tags and ready for the November break.

More collected Halloween and Halloween adjacent comics under the cut.
Vampires, zombies and werewolves. The trinity of terror. The monsters that do not die. The monsters Hollywood won’t allow die.
