A Christmas Slay
A Christmas slasher. move on. It’s not that its the worst of the lot, but there isn’t much here to stand out. Some sexy women. Mental patient dressed as Santa kills them. the acting may not be the best, but I really don’t think they got great direction. Too much unsteady camera. Get it on…
Black Christmas
There are 3 versions of this movie. The original is considered a classic, and helped set the stage for Christmas slasher horror movies. I’ll talk a bit about each version. 1974 – This is the original and considered a classic. Christmas Eve at a sorority and a crazed psycho comes to kill them. In the…
Cambridge Ohio Victorian Christmas
Cambridge Ohio sets up their town as a Victorian Christmas every year. It’s a fun little activity for the entire family. It’s very focused on Dickens and his life. Throughout the town you can see statues with a bit of information about the people and the times. If you like history, this is very enlightening.…
Hale Farm & Village Lantern Tour
We have a wonderful resource in our area. It was an old farm for about 200 years ago and the entire complex was donated to the local historical society. It’s been kept up and the run many different events throughout the year. At Christmas they do a lantern tour. a group of people take actual…
Christmas Evil
I’m not much of a slasher movie fan. And when it comes to Christmas horror, there are a lot of slasher movies. A whole lot. Much attention is placed on Black Christmas because it was one of the first. While Christmas Evil was later (even after Friday the 13th), I would argue it’s a better…
Christmas Bloody Christmas
Does having a DOJ robotic Santa on a killing spree make it a better Christmas slasher? No it doesn’t. Love the cut in half with the axe kill and the face stomp on the stairs kill. Kind of lame sex for a slasher.
Dead Snow and Dead Snow 2: Red vs Dead
Not really Christmas, it’s Easter, but there’s a lot of snow. The sex scene in the outhouse when it’s like 50 below. Hmm. Zombies breathe in this one because you can see their breath in the snow. I’ve never seen so many uses for intestines – especially ones still connected. This is basically Evil Dead…
All Through the House
Another Christmas horror of a psycho slasher that uses song lyrics for the title. It takes quite awhile to get the ‘motivation’ for the killer Santa, but you can probably guess it right now. You killed my daughter and ruined my life – now I’m back for revenge. I’ve never seen anyone take so long…
And to all a good night
This obviously was greenlit after the success of Black Christmas and Friday the 13th. Story is around a sorority that had an accidental death years ago and now they’ve come back to get revenge. If you’re looking for a heavy plot, keep looking. This is 1980 and about college girls – so it’s trying to…
All the Creatures Were Stirring
Another anthology movie. Takes place on Christmas Eve with a couple attending a play. Like most of the anthologies, some of the short stories are better than others. Not as good as Creepshow but about on par with Tales from the Darkside. There is a SAW story, another similar to Advent, A Christmas Carol (of…
A Christmas Carol comparisons
What would Christmas be without a good ghost story? What you say? You don’t tell ghost stories at Christmas? Well, why not! This is an old Victorian tradition that has fallen out of favor. But its still a part of our culture. What about the Andy Williams song – The Most Wonderful Time of the…
Advent Calendar
This one is French, so there’s closed caption. The story is pretty good, nice quality production and acting. Follow the rules of the Advent calendar or Ich will kill you. Spooky being in the other realm each time she opens a door. Good quality horror. Worth watching.
