Pumpkinhead Zombies

When a radioactive meteor crashes into Oakridge Cemetery on Halloween night, the dead don't just rise—they rise wearing pumpkins.

High school janitor Frank only wanted a quiet night and a lukewarm beer. Instead he's trapped in a gothic mortuary with a panicking teacher, a handful of terrified teenagers, a property-obsessed mortician, and a shotgun-wielding groundskeeper while an army of pumpkin-headed corpses, glowing-eyed rats, and other produce-wearing undead claw their way out of the graves.

The meteor slime turns ordinary jack-o'-lanterns into sticky, radioactive helmets. It mutates animals. It turns a crematorium into a forge for ceramic-plated juggernauts. And the only things standing between the survivors and a valley-wide harvest of brains are a cow femur, a truckload of cartel cocaine, several gallons of illegal moonshine, and pure, exhausted spite.

Pumpkinhead Zombies is a relentless, gore-soaked horror-comedy that treats the zombie apocalypse like a municipal code violation and a high-school field trip gone catastrophically wrong. If you like your undead with seasonal decorations, your heroes one bad decision away from a felony, and your body count measured in both corpses and decorative gourds, welcome to Oakridge.

The warranty is void. The pumpkins are hungry. And Frank is out of patience.
