First, it was Pride and Prejudice that got the zombie treatment<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

Then, we learned that Abraham Lincoln was in fact a vampire hunter<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

Now, it seems that the nativity story is getting a remix of its own.<\/p>\n

From best selling author, Seth Graham-Smith, comes Unholy Night<\/a><\/em>\"\", an imaginative retelling of the nativity story in which the three wise men are actually three murderous\u00a0thieves\u00a0who escape from Herod\u2019s prison,\u00a0accidentally\u00a0run into Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus as they are fleeing Herod\u2019s slaughter of the newborns, whereupon the three thieves \u201chave no choice but to help them escape to Egypt.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve gotta imagine this book is going to go over really well with the fundamentalists. [insert sarcasm font]\n<\/p>

Anyway, check out the trailer below and let us know what you think.<\/p>\n
