Dreidel of the Dead

When there's no room in Hell, the dead come to this website

Dreidel of the Dead is a stop-motion love letter to horror cinema. When the dead overrun New York City, movie-obsessed Eli Katz and his loyal dog, Babka, barricade themselves inside their Upper West Side apartment, hoping to survive until rescue arrives.

As eight nights of Hanukkah unfold, Eli discovers that a lifetime of horror movies may have prepared him for the apocalypse. While fending off undead neighbours, he reflects on unrequited love, grieves the loss of his mother, and learns that survival means confronting both the living and the dead.

Festivals

The plan was always to make this a bit of fun, a tabletop movie to show what I can do with some balsa wood, glue, wallpaper, action figures and an iPhone 11. With no plans to commercialise or distribute it, the plan is to see if it can go out to a festival or two worldwide, and then hopefully someone will us me, and as an extension of me my team of actors and helpers, to make something new.

I have a feature script idea for them. If they like my type of animated mayhem then they will definitely love SABER TOOTH ZOMBI.

The list of festivals where you can watch DREIDEL OF THE DEAD will appear here, as if a Hanukkah miracle.
