(North Hollywood, CA) It’s the most frightful time of the year at Zombie Joe’s Underground Theatre Group! Running for one more weekend, Holiday Nightmare Fuel is a brand new production (directed by Charlotte Cocker) featuring a horrifying journey into the dark side of the Christmas season. With scenes of psychological terror and calamitous wintertime stories, you won’t soon forget a visit to this boundary-pushing show.
Over the weekend, I had the awesome opportunity to experience this fearsome Zombie Joe’s production, and I LOVED IT! There are still two more chances to face your holiday fears (December 13 & 14)! Will you survive a visit to this deranged North Pole?

More About Holiday Nightmare Fuel
Holiday Nightmare Fuel is the perfect combination of haunted house and live horror show. Guests begin their experience with a twisted walk through a Christmas-themed maze. By “following the Christmas lights,” audience members will come face-to-face with disturbing visuals, jump scares, and close encounters with creepy holiday characters.
After conquering the maze, guests will take their seats inside the infamous black box theater. Running approximately 40 minutes, Holiday Nightmare Fuel includes a series of short glimpses into a variety of sinister anecdotes and dark takes on classic Christmas characters. Whether a vignette stands alone as a singular moment or combines with other show pieces to tell a sordid tale, Holiday Nightmare Fuel is a nonstop procession of creepy images, disconcerting sounds, and uncomfortable topics.
After the show, guests can take a photo with Santa before exiting through a second version of the holiday maze!
*An Important note: please be advised that due to the nature of this production, Holiday Nightmare Fuel includes disturbing imagery, adult content, sexual situations, and full nudity. There are many scenes that can be triggering for those dealing with past traumatic experiences. This show is intended for 18+ audiences only.
