Christmas Horror

by sfpx

Dec 2018
Hey, it's Christmastime everyone - there needs to be a Christmas themed horror movie thread here at Trash Epics, right? RIGHT???

So this is it here. Post whatever you want about Christmas horror movies.

With Christmas being my favorite holiday, and horror being my favorite movie genre, it would only make sense that, when the two merge together, it has the potential to cure CANCER. No, I'm kidding. Just thought it'd be funny to say "CANCER" in a holiday-themed thread.

I love this time of year, I really do, and get all gushy over lights and decorations and yes, even the dreaded Christmas music. Call me a masochist, but I love that shit. And then there's the food. Oh boy. The food.

But back to movies. I watched Christmas Evil aka You Better Watch Out (I like this title better) the other night. I really enjoyed it, probably even moreso than the one time I saw it however many years ago. The movie isn't your traditional slasher flick, despite the fact that it's sometimes lumped in as one, and I think that's what I admired so much about it this time. If viewed as a twisted black comedy it seriously rocks. Brandon Maggart, the main dude who wants so badly to be Santa Claus and just make kids happy, is great in the role. I never knew this until recently, but he's Fiona Apple's dad, which I found interesting, for no particular reason really.

Anyway, I liked the film a lot, enough to possibly start including it in my yearly watches 'round this time of year, next to unbeatable classics like Black Christmas and Silent Night, Deadly Night.

So...post anything you want about Christmas horror films, recommendations, traditions you have with your own personal movie viewings, etc. Whatever.

Christmas and horror go together better than such a jolly season would suggest. Obviously, they made horror films out of any and every holiday and season, so Christmas time is no exception.

Personally, I'm not as crazy about this season as most people. I never buy anyone gifts, and that upsets people, but I don't know what to get anyone. I don't even know what to get myself. I tend to zone out in my own world a lot, so I have a difficulty with empathy and whatnot. I just have a hard time getting the xmas spirit, and my only means to remedy that is by watching xmas xlassics.


Last year, we had a Christmas themed challenge for December. I had a lot of fun with that, considering that it didn't need to be horror, but since we're all horror nuts here, we did get a bulk of those.

Everyone knows about Silent Night Deadly Night and Black Christmas. Personally, I love both. SNDN is some perfectly moody slasher sleaze, and Black Christmas is creepy as fuck. Christmas Evil was a bit off to me, but it wasn't terrible. I watched Santa's Slay (great for that opening scene mostly), All through the Night (decent/forgettable), and Better Watch Out (solid home invasion). Apparently, I also watched David Hess's "To All a Good Night", and I remember liking it, but I honestly don't remember shit about it.
