How many times can you hear "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer" before you want to jam sharp sticks into your ears? While I haven't done a scientific study, I know that I have reached my limit. Here are some darker carols (or "scarols") to lighten your holidays.
Disneyland's Haunted Mansion Holiday truly started the "scarol" tradition. A recording of those scarols (with titles like "We Wish You a Scary Christmas," "Wreck the Halls" and "The 13 Days of Christmas") will now cost you an obscene amount on eBay but you can get the lyric book for a very reasonable price.
"We wish you a zombie Christmas / We hope you have a death wish / We wish you a zombie Christmas / 'Cause you won't see next year."
Zombie Christmas album, $9 to download / $15 for the CD
