West Des Moines Redbox Rentals: What if Abe Had to Battle Zombies, Too?

Ever thought about taking one of the statesmen from the 19th century and mixing him with a 21st century pop-culture craze?

Probably not. But for the sake of stimulating your imagination, let’s say Honest Abe had to fight off zombies at the same time he was figuring out what to do about Sherman’s Raiders.

Far-fetched?

It sure is. But it’s the plot line of Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies, an unrated film new at Redbox kiosks this week.

In West Des Moines, you can find Redbox vending machines at: area Hy-Vee stores, McDonald's, Walmart, and Kum & Go stores. Or go online to reserve a video at Redbox.com.
