WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:08.080
Hello, my spookys, and welcome
to a very special I wasn't Halloween.

2
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:13.599
Wow, I'm like completely brain burned. It feels like it for us because

3
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:17.480
we just love Christmas so much,
especially I do love Christmas a whole hell

4
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:19.839
of a lot. And one of
my favorite things about Christmas is it gets

5
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:22.679
spooky. And as you just heard, that was the voice of my good

6
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:28.120
friend and do you even movie co
host David Denyer. And you might remember

7
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:35.359
David from last season in October when
he did an exhaustive list of the best

8
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:40.640
Halloween horror films. Well, he's
back for more, this time with an

9
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:48.119
exhaustive list of holiday Christmas season horror
films. And it is pretty exhaustive.

10
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:52.240
And I do want to mention if
you email us at Weeklyspooky at gmail dot

11
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.000
com, we do have a pdf
of all of the titles we're going to

12
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:58.520
talk about, or at least that
Dave has written down. I don't know

13
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:00.719
what, who knows what. I
might run. We may grab some more

14
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.400
stuff along the way, but uh, and I do want to mention real

15
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:10.200
quick, this is airing on a
Thursday, and the Tuesday before I aired

16
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:14.319

19
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.560
good chance of it. Make sure

21
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.599
is Bonex content for you. We
have Dave here this week, and next

22
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:38.280
week we'll have Cameron Cheney back from
Library Macob talking about the best holiday scares

23
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.480
to read in book form. I'm
gonna have to listen to that one myself.

24
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.760
Well, I mean Cameron's must listen. Yeah, I can't lie.

25
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.200
I love him to death. His
knowledge like just puts me to shame sometimes,

26
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:52.280
well you don't even know how to
read. So all right, so

27
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.319
dive in ked. All right.
So last time, as you remember,

28
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.239
dear listeners, we had it broken
up into four categories. That is exactly

29
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.280
the same as this time. I
will say that this list is a little

30
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:06.280
jumbled, more so because of the
fact that the family scares section there's not

31
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:14.680
really a lot of kid friendly family
But I have I have gotten here a

32
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.599
list for you all that is going
to get you into the spooky season.

33
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:23.879
One thing with the Enrique and I
Spooky Christmas Hookie Christmas season. My bad

34
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:27.759
is that we are big fans when
it comes to holiday horror, to where

35
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.400
we'll watch both the good and the
bad, which predominantly there's a lot more

36
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.840
bad than there is good. Unfortunately, there's the good, there's the bad,

37
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.560
and then there's elves. Those elves, yes, so, and we'll

38
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.879
get to elves, don't you worry. So as we started last time,

39
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.400
let's go ahead and start into the
family scares section. The first one that

40
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.919
I have for family scares of the
holiday time is a Christmas Carol, and

41
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.479
I don't have a specific because let's
just face it, any rendition of a

42
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.960
Christmas Carol is a great ghost story, Yes, a great morality tale,

43
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:59.319
Christmas out the ass and overall,
just there's so many good versions of it

44
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.520
it's hard to pick. Well.
Dickens wrote lots of ghost stories for Christmas

45
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.319
time. Yeah. The thing with
Christmas Carol is it is the one that

46
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.599
kind of stood the longest test of
time, and it's been a tradition in

47
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.000
the United Kingdom for a very long
time to tell ghost stories on Christmas Eve.

48
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:20.919
Yeah, but Christmas Carol actually also
directly involved Christmas, which is what

49
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.080
kind of made it the legendary staple
that it is. I'm actually a big

50
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:30.120
fan of reading the Signalman on Christmas
Eve, but which is another one he

51
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.840
wrote, Yeah for that time period, but a Christmas Carol, super classic

52
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.599
and yeah it's a ghost story.
Yeah. I'm a big fan of the

53
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.080
nineteen eighty four version with George C. Scott and David Warner. I think

54
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.400
that version, Georgey Scott just has
a performance in it that is really just

55
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.719
it grabs you because you get to
see screwge is such a hard ass,

56
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.560
but like once the emotion hits,
Georgey Scott was always great about delivering those

57
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.120
emotions. I mean, he was
a professional act It's almost like he was

58
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.479
one of the greatest actors of all
time, I could say. But also

59
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.400
I'm also a big fan of the
Christmas Carrol with the Patrick Stewart from ninety

60
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:04.879
nine. That one, I have
a very big soft spot for it.

61
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:09.000
I really like it. And actually
going with spooky, I really like the

62
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.199
two thousand and nine Jim Carrey one
that they did with the Disney one,

63
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:16.000
the animated one. It's super dark, like it is really really dark to

64
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.240
see it. It's really dark for
an animated movie. It's a smart ass

65
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:24.560
really dark for an animated movie,
and also really sticks to the text more

66
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.920
so than a lot of versions do, because it just is one of those

67
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.600
stories that you know it if you
read it in high school like I did,

68
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.160
or even junior high like I did. It's it is a very eerie

69
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.519
tale. But also it's like the
perfect Christmas ghost story. As you said,

70
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.680
Yeah, no, I mean every
version of Christmas Carol has something to

71
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.160
like. I'm a big fan of
that Patrick Stewart one, which was a

72
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.600
TNT television movies, and I well, I'm a huge Star Trek fan.

73
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.800
Yeah, so I remember I taped
it and would watch it again and again

74
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.720
around Christmas time. Such good.
So yeah, Christmas Carol, that's gonna

75
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.759
kick us off for family scares.
That is the ultimate pick. I think

76
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.040
you're saying any rend diish, any
rendition. I really haven't seen a bad

77
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:05.600
one. I actually really enjoyed.
I think it was the Albert Finney version

78
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.480
Scrooge for the first time like a
couple of years ago. Oh yeah,

79
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.000
that's okay. Yeah, So moving
up the list, we are going to

80
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:17.879
go into the monsters Scary Little Christmas, the nineteen ninety six TV movie where

81
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:23.319
basically everyone was recast. Yeah,
that was the much later one. It

82
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.439
was Yeah, what year was that
again? Nineteen ninety six, ninety six?

83
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.519
Oh wow, so you've got well, they had to be everybody.

84
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.759
Herman Monster is played by Sam mc
murray. Lily Munster's played by Anne Munkson.

85
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:39.600
Bug Haul goes into Eddie Munster and
the story of this is it says,

86
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.240
get ready for Holiday Spirits as the
first family of fright rallies to show

87
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.439
melancholy Eddie Munster some of the holly
jolly magic that only Santa can bring.

88
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.879
They're basically trying to bring Eddie's Christmas. You think, yeah, just is

89
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.959
that what they're trying to Just maybe, just maybe I've seen it a couple

90
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.600
of times. You might be even
lucky enough to catch it on some TV

91
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.560
showings if you still have cable at
this point. But for the most part,

92
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.519
that one is going to be a
rental. I know that some if

93
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:08.399
they're even still carrying movies at stores
nowadays, they do usually put that one

94
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.920
out for their Christmas section. Munster
Scary Little Christmas is really fun. If

95
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.199
you haven't seen it, It has
a lot of that monsters, you know,

96
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.759
love of the macab but also with
the new actors. They do a

97
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.560
really good job with the characters.
I think you like them. I like

98
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:25.319
them. Yeah. The hardest thing
about that one is the monster. The

99
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.839
monsters being in color is always a
little awful, a little weird. Yeah,

100
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.120
And I think it's probably one of
the best, if not the best

101
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:39.439
remakes of the series or characters,
because even the later ones like Mockingbird Lay

102
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.319
that they did. I just was
not a big fan of those. Do

103
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.079
you hear that Rob Zombie Dave hates
you. I we and me both watched

104
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:46.480
that one together. I didn't hate
it. That's fun. Yeah. So

105
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.439
yeah, Munster Scary Little Christmas.
You are going to probably have to go

106
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:53.439
rent that one, but it is
a lot of fun at nineteen ninety six,

107
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.240
make sure you check that out.
Moving up the list, the Nightmare

108
00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:00.839
Before Christmas nineteen ninety three. There's
always a huge bait with this one,

109
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.959
of course, being is it a
Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? We

110
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.120
even I think we even talked about
this on a previous show. Yeah,

111
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:11.399
I think so. Yeah. Night
Before Christmas is a perfect run time.

112
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.040
I think it's like write at like
the eighty minute mark. If that,

113
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.800
and you've got great songs by Danny
Elfman, Chris Sarandon as Jack Skellington,

114
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:25.040
You've got the the incredible voice of
Catherine O'Hara, William Hickey's in it.

115
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.279
I mean, Nightmare four Christmas.
If if you're not familiar with it,

116
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.839
I don't know how for what if
you're if you're a gen X or a

117
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.720
millennial, you have to know it. Yeah. Yeah. And to an

118
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.639
added bonus to Nightmare Before Christmas,
if you have not checked out Netflix's the

119
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:43.600
the movies that made us. They
have a really really good episode on nightmarefore

120
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.040
Christmas. That kind of doesn't put
Tim Burton in the best light when it

121
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.279
comes to this project. And that's
one of the things that I've chroned to

122
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:53.959
kind of appreciate is everybody behind the
scenes of Burton because even though his name

123
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.399
is on it, he really had
very little to do. Did we have

124
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.600
more to do with the corpse bread? Yeah, basically that and also Batman

125
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.920
was happy at the time that this
was this was being shot, the stop

126
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.800
motion everything. Is that why Jack
Skellington went, you want to get nuts

127
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.600
nuts? Lets get nuts. Of
course, Jack Skellington, the King of

128
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.720
Halloween, discovers Christmas Town, but
his attempt to bring Christmas to his home

129
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.879
causes confusion. And there's great songs. There's a lot of again Ma Cob

130
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.439
humor with it, and you know
they kidnapped Santa Claus at one point they

131
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.639
sing about it, and everything ends
on Christmas. I mean, what more

132
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.439
could you ask for out of a
spooky little family movie. Yeah, no,

133
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.120
I would say that Nightmare Before Christmas
is probably the ultimate spooky Christmas movie

134
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.959
for a family. Oh absolutely,
yeah. So moving up the list,

135
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.960
we are going to go to one
that has really kind of grown on me

136
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.639
over the last couple of years.
I wasn't the hugest fan of this for

137
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:39.440
the first time I saw it,
and it being in the family category is

138
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.200
a little bit of that's a small
stretch there, but I mean it's it's

139
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.519
kind of like Monster Squad for Christmas
in a sense. Monster Squad didn't have

140
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.480
Naked Man. But I think there's
also Dong too. I'm pretty sure why

141
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:58.879
is wrong with you? Twenty tens
Rare Exports the finish film in the depths

142
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.919
of the Core of Mountains four hundred
and eighty six meters deep lies the closest

143
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.080
everguarded secret of Christmas. The time
has come to dig it up. This

144
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.679
Christmas, everyone will believe in Santa
Claus. This is the story of a

145
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.559
young boy who works with his father
in the mines and what happens is they

146
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:20.440
end up uncovering the initial creature that
is Santa Claus and so many hyjiingks ensu

147
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.600
is. This is both a scary
movie and also a lot of fun,

148
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:30.720
but there is definitely some malevolent forces
in this one because the Santa is probably

149
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.440
one of the scariest Santa's on cinema
in the last decade. I would say

150
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:39.559
one of the most bizarre Christmas movies
of all time. It really goes far

151
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.879
out of there. Man, it
is way out there. The reason the

152
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.159
first time I watched it my jaw
was on the floor. Yeah. No.

153
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.519
I got to show it to Ali
for the first time last year and

154
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.600
I remember, like, right as
one of the climaxes happens with this huge

155
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.200
helicopter scene which I'm not gonna spoil
because you just have to see it,

156
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:56.399
Ali was like, what the hell
are we watching? Because, I mean,

157
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.600
you just don't believe when you start
watching Rare Exports where it goes trigger

158
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:03.799
warning here. I will tell you
too that there is some pretty heinous animal

159
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.399
violence in it because the Santa goes
after I think it's is it the Reindeer?

160
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.639
Yeah, it's a finish movie,
so it's got a lot of kind

161
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.840
of that way of life in it. Yeah, but no. Rare Exports,

162
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.639
directed by Hamira Hallander, is definitely
one that you want to check out,

163
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:20.600
and it's become pretty available over the
years, I know right now with

164
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.159
a streaming on as of this recording. It's on Shutter, it's on Peacock.

165
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.440
You can find on Pluto, fandor
MC yeah, AMC plus yep.

166
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.120
So make sure you check out Rare
Exports. That is a great one.

167
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:33.960
Like I said, it's in the
family section, but keep in mind it

168
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.120
is rated R. There is some
nudity and violence, but overall, I

169
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:43.000
mean it's it's good for the Manson
family. Yeah. Moving up the list

170
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.720
another question one, but I think
you'll actually agree with this one more.

171
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.399
Scrooge nineteen eighty six. Now,
I know you'll think cuts into a Christmas

172
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:56.000
Carol, but Scrooged is Scrooge is
Scrooged Well, if I would have debated

173
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.360
you, but the horror moments are
so well done. Yeah, I mean,

174
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.120
Scrooged Is it was a movie that
I it was always on TV.

175
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.279
The Bill Murray, Caroen Allen.
I mean, there's a bunch of names

176
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.639
in this one. Directed of course
by the great late Richard Donner. Scrooged

177
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.399
Is Bill Murray is basically a cynical
television executive who is trying to get a

178
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:22.799
lot of ratings in for his big
Christmas Carol promo or screw yeah yeah yeah

179
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.240
program, and in doing so has
basically become as cynical as you can even

180
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:33.679
imagine. Like he's avoiding family,
he's lost his love and she comes back

181
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.360
into his life, but he's possibly
gonna lose her again. Everything that can

182
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.320
go wrong for him with his morality
in this does, and then that's why

183
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.720
he ends up getting visited by three
spirits to go back into his life and

184
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.679
show up. It's exactly a Christmas
Carol again. It has all the ties

185
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:50.120
of being on the set. There's
a lot of great humor. One of

186
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.360
the best Bompcat gold Wave performances as
well. Yeah, golf Waight's really good,

187
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.879
And I mean calling it family friendly. I mean I guess it was

188
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.840
it PG thirty three. Okay,
then I'll give you a TV that one,

189
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:05.879
and I'll give you that one then
because I just remember. Because it's

190
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.639
a very adult humor wise like,
and I don't mean adult like dirty jokes.

191
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.080
I mean just adult like. They
make jokes about taxes, you know,

192
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.279
and credit rating and getting older.
But uh, Scrooge is a movie

193
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.840
I really love. My favorite thing
about that movie is the thing a lot

194
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.919
of people don't like, which is
Bill Murray going off the rails at the

195
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:30.720
end. I love his speech,
I really do. Before that way he

196
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.480
says like and if you if you
get it, then you'll get greedy for

197
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:35.600
it. It's it's really scrooged is
a great one. And if you're if

198
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.960
you feel like it's not very horror, yeah, about every ghost in it

199
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.679
is pretty pretty solid. It's at
least eerie. Well, and I think

200
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.759
I think what I love about Scrooge
most is that it goes. It goes

201
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:54.240
in every possible direction of your of
your emotions. Like if you get terrified

202
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.879
at some point at the end,
if you're not bawling, you didn't watch

203
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.039
it, right. That's how I
judge I mean now that it's definitely a

204
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.360
cryey movie. Do you remember when
I booked the theater for everybody at christ

205
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.879
That was so much fun When the
lockdown had just started to ease up.

206
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:13.960
At Christmas of twenty twenty here in
Ohio, I rented the theater, the

207
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:18.879
local one of the local multiplexes.
I rented a room and showed Scrooge for

208
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.200
everybody wanted to come. And it
was a beautiful thing too, because you

209
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.960
know, we had friends who were
more concerned and less concerned about the pandemic,

210
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.799
so we were like, sit wherever
you want. Yeah, if you

211
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.360
got an invitation, you could just
walk on in. It was free.

212
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.200
I mean I think you Me,
Jeff and Keith paid for it, and

213
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.240
everybody else was just welcome to show
up. It was It was just a

214
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.679
great movie to bring people well.
And the sing along at the end.

215
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.960
I made everybody actually sing along at
the end because it was our theater,

216
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.240
so I was just yelling at feel
was like, hey, yayyy over there,

217
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.360
come on, come on, come
on. And it also has one

218
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.679
of the best fake movies that I
still want to see to this day.

219
00:13:52.799 --> 00:14:01.440
The reindeer died, so that is
Scrooge nineteen eighty eight of available on Paramount

220
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.799
Plus at this recording along with Pluto
and Prime Video. So make sure you

221
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.039
check it out if you haven't seen
Scrooge. That is a high, high

222
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.399
recommend and you'll laugh your ass off. Yeah. And then finally Ryan rounding

223
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.879
out the family scares section, how
could we not go with the nineteen eighty

224
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.720
four Mortal classic Joe Dante's Gremlins.
Okay, yeah, yeah, Gremlins,

225
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.679
which which is one of the movies
that forced them to come up with PG

226
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:28.000
thirteen. Yes it is. So
you're really stren stretching, as you know,

227
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.840
but I can appreciate what you're laying
down well, and I think,

228
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:35.360
honestly, Gremlins for me has another
one that like, It's never one that

229
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.200
I disliked, but I've always just
loved Gremlins two more. And it wasn't

230
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:41.919
probably until like the last like five
years or so, that I've really really

231
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.279
come back to Gremlins just because of
how much fun it is for both a

232
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.000
Christmas horror film and just I mean, it's it is out of time.

233
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.600
I've always liked Gremlins one more than
two. I like two a lot.

234
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:58.960
Yeah, but Gremlins has Gremlins has
a grounding to it that makes it scary.

235
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:03.200
Yeah, I feel like Gremlins two
is not scary, it's just funny.

236
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.559
Gremlins one has a scary factor to
it, has a mysterious factor to

237
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.639
it. I think that the way
to to judge Gremlins two perfectly is the

238
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.559
fact that Gremlins one had such an
emotional center. Yeah, that there's the

239
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.559
Phoebe Kate's moment. I know,
I know it's bizarre, and you know,

240
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:20.919
I don't want to spoil it for
Aybod who hasn't seen Gremlins. But

241
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.080
in Gremlins two, they thought of
that, Yeah, we have time for

242
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.200
this. And I'm not saying that
that makes Gremlins too bad, but I'm

243
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.279
saying that set the tone that,
like Gremlins two is not gonna have this

244
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:39.679
heavy emotional tone. So in Gremlins
two, when people are getting killed by

245
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.039
the Gremlins, it's kind of for
laughs, but like when the old lady

246
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.320
is terrorized by Gremlins, it's scary. When the mom the mom fighting the

247
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.039
Gremlins and the kus. You to
hear what I hear. Anytime I hear

248
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.159
that song, I immediately think of
Gremlins because that scene has me on edge

249
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.639
every time, even though I've seen
it, you know, ten plus times.

250
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:56.559
Yeah, it's damn good, but
I mean Gremlins. If you're not

251
00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:58.960
familiar with Gremlins, with how the
hell are you not? A young man

252
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.279
and in advertently breaks three important rules
concerning his new pet and unleashes a horde

253
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:08.720
of malevantly malevolently mischievous monsters on a
small town. This is the story of

254
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:15.120
Billy who receives Gizmo a magua and
unfortunately Gizmo gets wet, spawns a bunch

255
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.279
of other gremlins, and then they
take over the town. And of course

256
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:21.759
Howie Mandel the voice, I'm Mendel's
the voice. I mean. Gremlins also

257
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:26.679
has an amazing cast. You've got
Zach Gallian, Phoebe Kds, Judge,

258
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.200
Ryan Hold, the late great Dick
Miller. I mean, there's so many

259
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.519
names in this and it's Dick Miller
gets a real great role in it too.

260
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:36.080
He's not just he doesn't just do
a cameo like he often does.

261
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:38.200
He's he's a major role. Yeah. And also written by Christopher Columbus too,

262
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:44.600
Yes, yes, who discovered America
and no, Chris Columbus for those

263
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:48.159
who don't realize, he's the man
behind Home Alone and Home Alone two.

264
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.759
He's the man behind the Harry Potter
movies directed miss A Doubt, Fire,

265
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:56.200
Missus Doubt. Yeah, yeah,
I mean phenomenal history. And also another

266
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.639
Christmas movie you might like that he
did, is that one for Netflix,

267
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.919
that Christmas Chronicles. Yeah, it's
not a horror at all. Christmas Chronicles

268
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.839
and Christmas Chronicles two was done by
Chris Columbus so much. They're really good

269
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:10.720
times. But yeah, Chris Columbus
wrote that screenplay and Joe Dante took it

270
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:18.440
to the screens level. Don't go
away weekly Spooky. We'll be right back,

271
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.000
all right. So that wraps us
up on family scares. As I

272
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:26.640
said, there's not a lot,
unfortunately. So we are gonna move into

273
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.799
our second chart, which is seasonal
revisits. Now, I will say before

274
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:34.960
we start this, some of these
may not necessarily be Christmas horror films,

275
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:38.119
but oh, here we go.
The time period works for it, and

276
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.960
that is why I have to introduce
that with one of my personal favorites that

277
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.640
I don't know if you've seen or
not. Here we go. We're going

278
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:49.400
to talk about the Legend of Hell
House from nineteen seventy three. Now the

279
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:53.680
Legend of Hell House takes place the
week before Christmas. It starts on December

280
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:59.319
seventeenth and ends Christmas Eve. I
think I've seen it, Roddy McDowell.

281
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.000
You have Roddy McDowell in it.
You have Gail Huntcutt, Pamela Franklin,

282
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.759
and Clive Revel. This is directed
by John Hoague. This is the story

283
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.160
of a psychic, a psychia yeah, oh my god. A psychic,

284
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.279
his wife and two mediums are hired
to investigate the Potesco House where twenty seven

285
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:19.000
guests have inexplictedly died in nineteen twenty
seven, along with most of a team

286
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:23.640
of paranoral investigators that were sent in
the early nineteen fifties. This is a

287
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:30.480
slow burn haunted house movie that really
does not let up even as the credit

288
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.000
starts roll. You have one of
the most unhinged performances from Rody McDowell,

289
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:37.559
where he is one point just like
yelling at the house. He's one of

290
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.319
the survivors that comes back with the
paranormal team. Okay, so he's like

291
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.279
yelling at the house at one point. You've got all this Haunted House food

292
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.880
that just goes throughout the entire thing, and it's just written by Richard Matheson.

293
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.079
So I mean, you have a
really really good horror story here that

294
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:55.279
takes place around Christmas time. So
while it's necessarily not a Christmas one,

295
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:59.799
I find myself revisiting this every other
year because I always just get sucked into

296
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:03.720
this movie. One hour and thirty
five minutes nineteen seventy three, The Legend

297
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:06.279
of Hell House. It is one
you're gonna probably have to rent. It

298
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:07.640
is not available to stream it anywhere
at this time, but you can rent

299
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.480
it from Prime and I think Voodoo
as well, So make sure you check

300
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:14.599
out Legend of Hell House. It
is phenomenal, it's unsettling, and it

301
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.200
actually takes place at Christmas, so
it works barely. No, no,

302
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.640
that sounds I might revisit that this
year. I would gladly bring it over

303
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:25.640
for you. All right, Moving
into a true Christmas movie, To All

304
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:30.480
a Good Night nineteen eighty really really
I had to. Oh it's fun.

305
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:33.240
I had to All a good Night. The tricky thing with to All a

306
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.640
good Night is that it's so derivative. It's so derivative, even though it

307
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:40.759
predates Silent Night Deadly. Well,
it's not derivative of Silent Deadly. It's

308
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:44.880
derivative of Happy Birthday, to be
in April Fool's Day that might be after

309
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.599
them actually actually, but it's definitely
derivative of when a Stranger calls. It's

310
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.880
derivative of a lot of those early
slasher movies, but not the successful ones.

311
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.279
It's not derivative of Front of the
Thirteen. No to all A good

312
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:00.000
night is so nineteen eighty David Hess
gave us this horror film. David has

313
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.119
of course from the House on the
Edge of the Park Last House on the

314
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.920
Left. He was a very famous
actor in exploitation films. Yeah, and

315
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:08.200
this I believe was the only film
he directed, and want to direct it.

316
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:11.039
Yeah. So, a group of
teenagers at a party find themselves being

317
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:15.400
stoked by a miniacal killer in the
Santa Claus costume. Actually, what happens,

318
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.079
from my description is, you have
it's Christmas break at an all girls

319
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.079
school and they decided to throw a
little Christmas party in their dormace and their

320
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.240
their house, and in doing so
they may or may not just have ended

321
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:30.599
up being stalked by a killer in
a Psycho Santa costume. Yeah, and

322
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:34.000
this is in many ways one of
the first Psycho Santa movies. I mean,

323
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:38.039
you had Tales from the Crypt,
the British amicist film Tales from the

324
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.480
Crypt. Yeah, I'm actually I
wish I had had more time. This

325
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.640
season's been crazy, guys. I
hope you all, you spookies, how

326
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.720
much I love you, because I
am working NonStop through December to get you

327
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:51.119
lots of content. I have a
book I've been reading in my free time

328
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:56.039
which is an entire breakdown of all
Christmas horror movies, and I'm really excited

329
00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:00.279
to learn more of like the history. Absolutely, but this is definitely one

330
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.400
of the earliest Psycho Santa movies that
there is, and it was so unavailable

331
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.640
in a good version for a long
The first time I watched it was a

332
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.240
bootleg, yeah, because you couldn't
get it anywhere and all of the night

333
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:15.079
scenes were too dark to see.
Yeah, it was a hell to try

334
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:18.319
and track this down before about twenty
fourteen, when I think Keino released it.

335
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.680
And to be honest, as we've
already said, it's not a good

336
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.000
movie, but it's great. It
has some really hilarious kills in it.

337
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.279
It has some very interesting characters that
are trying to portray younger than they are.

338
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:34.400
It's a beer and nachos. It's
a beer in nachos movie To a

339
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:37.720
te So to All a Good Night, currently streaming on Shutter and AMC Plus

340
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.680
nineteen eighty Make sure you check that
out if you are a Slasher fan,

341
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.759
that is one to knock off the
list. Moving into even more of a

342
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:52.519
deep cut, We're gonna go with
Elves from nineteen eighty nine. Earl Haggarty

343
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.279
now, and I want to mention, by the way, Haggerty, Dan

344
00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:00.720
Haggerty, Merle Haggerty, that's the
singer is Dan Haggerty? Who was?

345
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:07.960
He was Grizzly Adams. Yeah,
and Repo Jake and Repo Jake. My

346
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.720
god. I want to point out
that, like Dave has a list that

347
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:14.839
I have not seen, I'm the
opposite of Santa. I didn't make a

348
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.240
list. I didn't check it twice. So what when you hear my reaction,

349
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:22.519
that's my first reaction to these being
on the list. Elves, that

350
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.880
was us, That was us discovering
well, I mean, we had heard

351
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.400
about el Elves is probably the most
insane Christmas movie ever made. I know

352
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:37.119
that I talked about. I know
that I talked about like rare Exports being

353
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:44.720
wild. Rare Exports doesn't have Nazis
and incest and and Elves gets out there.

354
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:47.880
Nineteen eighty nine, a young woman
discovers that she is the focus of

355
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:52.359
an evil Nazi experiment involving selective breeding
and summoned Elves an attempt to create a

356
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.599
race of superhumans, and two of
her friends are trapped in a department store

357
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.279
with an Elf, and only Dan
Haggerty as the rent gay loose cannon Santa

358
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:06.039
Claus can save them. That's not
even a good synopsis to be I mean

359
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.759
it just it just barely touches on
every the first like twenty minutes. Yeah,

360
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:11.960
no, it barely gets through it
all. And you may be thinking,

361
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:15.839
Okay, Elves, it's gonna be
like Santa's Elves. No, this

362
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:21.119
is this is basically like demons from
Hell. Well they're made by Nazis,

363
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:26.400
made by Nazis. Yes, elves
Is is the epitome of what the fuck

364
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.359
did I just watch? And I
want to watch it again immediately because it's

365
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.799
insane. It's so insane. The
mafia is involved at one point, there's

366
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:38.559
Nazis, there's the Mafia. There's
Dan Haggerty hilariously smoking a cigarette next to

367
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:42.599
a chalk outline of the guy that
he previously took over for Haggarty. I

368
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:48.160
mean had to be paying off gambling
debts by being in this movie and put

369
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:51.559
Jake Well, yeah, but I
mean this movie is insane. It is

370
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:55.440
every scene Dan Haggerty in is in
as hilarious. He's I can't imagine he

371
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:59.680
was ever sober on that sne No, that's a movie that is I mean

372
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:06.039
nachos a beer. This is a
na chosen hard liquor and also readily available

373
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:08.240
on YouTube. And it's entirety because
I think that, Yeah, it's completely

374
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:11.000
out of print. I mean you
can't you can't buy an official copy of

375
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.799
it, so I don't feel guilty
saying you should just download it. It's

376
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.519
on YouTube. I'm sure you can
find in other places too. But yeah,

377
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:22.279
Elves is one that if you have
not seen and you're looking for something

378
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.319
that you've never seen before from a
Christmas horror film, Elves will give that

379
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:30.079
to you. And how and hi
God. Moving on, we are going

380
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.960
to go into one of the most
famous, if not the famous Christmas horror

381
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.880
series Silent Night Deadly Night for the
initiation, which, oh, so we're

382
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.480
starting with four. Yeah, because
I want to mention that Rachel and I

383
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:44.680
are going to be doing a cutting
deep into horror about the original Silent Night

384
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:48.319
Deadly Night this season. So we're
going to try and do as many cutting

385
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.279
deep in horrors as we can fit
into our December, which is hopefully more

386
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.200
than one one. Yeah, Rachel
and I work like dogs. Yeah,

387
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.279
But Silent a Deadly Night. For
for those of you who are out of

388
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:04.359
where, Silent at Deadly Night technically
has six sequel or six movies off of

389
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:08.400
it until you have the five seat
or the four sequels, so Silent Night,

390
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.759
Deadly Night one through five, and
then you have the remake Silent Night

391
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:14.480
in I think twenty ten or twenty
eleven. I can't remember having it on

392
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:18.279
here somewhere well twenty twelve. But
Silent at Deadly Night four is probably the

393
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:25.359
most estranged from the entire series.
It strays massively. A reporter investigating the

394
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:29.440
bizarre deaths of a woman who leaped
from a building in flames finds herself mixed

395
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:33.319
out a cold of witches who are
making her part of their sacrificial ceremony during

396
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:36.880
the Christmas season, and Silent at
Doudely Night four is an example of something

397
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.599
I've been talking about a lot on
dou even movie, which is absurdity fatigue.

398
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:44.359
Yes, I've had people tell me
after watching Silent at Deadly at four

399
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:47.400
that they're like, well, it's
just a repackaging. It doesn't even have

400
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:52.359
Christmas in it. I was that
guy. But it does have Christmas set

401
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.799
around Christmas. Yeah, but you
have to also like there's so much going

402
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:03.119
on with giant people, giants,
a giant bugs, and flaming Santa Claus

403
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:06.240
is falling off a building. This
is one of the sequels directed by Brian

404
00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:10.200
Usna, so you know it's gonna
be gooey and gross. The man behind

405
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:14.000
Society and Animator Yeah, well,
I mean he produced, Yeah, he

406
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:18.279
produced three, Animator directed Bride of
Re Animator, The Man in Return,

407
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:21.519
liking Dead three. The man's a
nut and we just had to make a

408
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:23.839
nutty movie. And this movie is
nuttier than a squirrel turn. And if

409
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:26.960
you're a Clint Howard fan, oh
boy, you are going to have a

410
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:30.519
blast with Silent at Deadly Night for
the initiation. Yeah no, that one's

411
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:33.079
crazy. And I want to point
out one of my favorite things you mentioned

412
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:34.720
to me because when we we talking
about the list, you were like,

413
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:38.279
can I what was he realized?
Should I break them up? Or should

414
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:41.079
they be all in one and one? Like? And I was like,

415
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:44.559
David, how a like a all
the Deadly Night movies? You were like,

416
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:47.799
got it? Yeah? Because because
literally, like some of them are

417
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:51.240
legit, some of them are ridiculous, some of them are insane. You'll

418
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:52.240
see because I'm sure it's coming up
quite a bit. Yeah, this,

419
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:56.759
the Silently four is probably the most
different of the entire series, and for

420
00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:00.480
a damn good reason, because it
makes it probably one of the most memorable

421
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:04.160
with those sequels. Absolutely, yeah
four, I mean, how could you

422
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:07.640
forget it? Yeah? How could
you? You can't hope to forget it?

423
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:10.720
All right? So that is Silent
and Deadly Night four initiation. H

424
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:12.480
you are probably gonna have to rent
that one. I know for a fact

425
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:15.920
that all the Silent at Deadly Night
sequels I've told you this before, Silent

426
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:19.480
at Edadly Night one through five are
available on Voodoo, but you can only

427
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:23.079
fucking rent the first movie. I
can't buy Silent Deadly Night and have it

428
00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:26.400
in my voodoo. Well that's your
problem. Yeah. All right. Moving

429
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.200
up the list, we are gonna
go to a favorite that came out a

430
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.039
few years back. We were talking
about Better watch Out from twenty sixteen.

431
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:36.519
That's another one Rachel wants to do
on the show. It's that I mean

432
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.319
Funny Games Christmas say, yeah,
no, no, Better watch Out?

433
00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:45.559
Talk about for a Christmas movie starring
children. Yeah, a very mean spirited

434
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:49.559
film. I mean we jokingly called
it the Funny Games Christmas Special because the

435
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:53.200
first time we watched it, I
had gotten my Blu Ray and we we

436
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:56.079
watched it. The credits came up, and I was just like, I

437
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:00.400
don't feel any better. But I
really did like that movie. I know

438
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:03.799
it does not make you feel good. Uh. It's twisted as hell.

439
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:07.920
Twisted as hell. On a quiet
suburban street, a babysitter must defend a

440
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:10.799
twelve year old boy from intruders,
only to discover it's far from the normal

441
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:15.079
home invasion. Spoiler alert. The
kids are orchestrating the home invasion. That's

442
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.920
all I'm gonna say, because one
of these kids is real fucked up.

443
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:23.519
Better Watch Out is definitely not one
that you want to put on for just

444
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:27.680
a lighthearted Christmas watching because it's gonna
hurt you. Yeah, it's it's it's

445
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:33.000
it's got all the the violence of
Home Alone with none of the charm.

446
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:37.839
Yeah, and I mean it for
one, going to the home alone aspect

447
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.319
of it. They actually if you've
ever wanted to see what would happen to

448
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.799
a human body with the paint can
test, they do. The paint can

449
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:49.880
test with the human body. I
mean the paint can swing. Yeah.

450
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:53.880
Yeah, it's not pretty, it
is brutal. It's full of Christmas because

451
00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:56.400
I think it literally takes place on
Christmas, even though yeah, it taken.

452
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:00.759
So if you are looking for one
that is a bit of a deep

453
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:03.079
not a deep cut, but a
bit of a cut into you better watch

454
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.440
out aka Safe Neighborhoods. When it
was a big festival hit is one that

455
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:11.440
I cannot recommend enough. You will
not see the ending coming and even after

456
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:14.119
credits you still won't see that coming. Yeah. No, it's it's absolutely

457
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:15.680
worth a watch. It's an edge
of your seat kind of movie. Yeah.

458
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:19.279
Ed available right now on shutter AMC
plus Peacock Plex, so you can

459
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:22.599
find it pretty easily. It is
one that you definitely want to throw into

460
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:26.880
the rotation if you're looking for something
that's gonna hurt you a little bit.

461
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:27.960
And they like to call it a
comedy, but it's pitch black. It

462
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:34.160
is pitch black. Pitch black.
Don't go away, Weekly Spooky, We'll

463
00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:41.119
be right back, all right.
Moving up the list, we are gonna

464
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:45.759
go with a Shutter original from twenty
eighteen. All the Creatures Were Stirring Christmas

465
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.720
anthology. Yeah. I like that
one. I really really like All the

466
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:53.160
Creatures Were Stirring. This is a
anthology film that is brought to us by

467
00:29:53.359 --> 00:30:00.960
re Think of Rebecca Rebeca mckenreie and
her husband of the former show Shockways.

468
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:04.200
I think now she's also on Colors
of the Dark podcast. But this is

469
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.319
an awkward date on Christmas Eve leads
a couple into a strange theater. They're

470
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.720
treated to a bizarre and frightening collection
of Christmas stories featuring a wide ensemble of

471
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.480
characters doing their best to avoid the
horrors of the holidays. From boring office

472
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:19.519
parties and last minute shopping to venteul
stalkers and moral demons, there's plenty out

473
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:25.319
there to fear this holiday season.
All the Creatures Were Stirring really just has

474
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:30.720
a great assembly of stories in it, because you have one where you have

475
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.279
what would happen if a serial killer
and beaded your office Christmas party? Which

476
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:36.079
I really do love that story.
Yeah, that's pretty coot. You've got

477
00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:41.960
one. And in regards to these
guys that are they're having a Christmas party

478
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:47.559
in Aliens Invade and they try to
basically figure out what their Christmas means to

479
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:49.519
them and what are Christmas means to
them. There's a lot of thinking in

480
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:53.319
these stories. They're not like traditional
slashers. There's a lot of great fear

481
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:56.279
and a lot of comedy too.
Because one of the best things in regards

482
00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:00.240
to the setup for this is that
thing they said about the date is you

483
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:03.319
have a couple going to a show
that's basically a really rundown theater. Yeah,

484
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:07.000
and they're doing like a performance with
like two people, and it's just

485
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:11.960
a really weird presentation to set up
the stories, but it also works so

486
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:15.799
well, especially for the wrap around. It's super awkward in a fun way.

487
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:18.799
Yeah. Yeah, No, All
the Creatures Restoring has a lot of

488
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.160
comedy. It's got a lot of
terrors in it, and it's probably something

489
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:23.880
you haven't seen before. In regards
to the twist that it has too.

490
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:27.880
One of my favorites is there's a
story where a guy is trying to pick

491
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:30.960
up like I think milk for his
wife and kids at the last second and

492
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.880
he makes a change in his life
that's going to last the rest of his

493
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.960
life because of Tepe he runs into. So all the creatures were stirring.

494
00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:42.559
Available on shutter, you can also
find it streaming in and rentable in all

495
00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:45.359
places. Twenty eighteen A lot of
fun and a great one if you want

496
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:49.359
to put on something for anthology horror
fans out there. Moving up the list,

497
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:53.519
let's go back into the Silent at
Deadly Night series with Enrique's ultimate favorite,

498
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:57.640
Silent at Deadly Night three, Better
Watch Out. Yeah. I do

499
00:31:57.759 --> 00:32:00.759
love that one, I really do. And you know what, the more

500
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:04.799
people like you say I should love
it, the more I love it even

501
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:07.119
more. You got me to come
around on it, because, dear listener,

502
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:10.960
there was a time where the Silent
at Deadly Night sequels were not available

503
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:15.000
to find very easily unless you either
had a VCR and could find a VHS,

504
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:17.359
or if you wanted to find a
bootleg of them, and then I

505
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:23.640
think it was right around the tail
end of twenty ten that Lionsgate licensed three,

506
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:28.079
four and five gave us a DVD
of them, and that's how they

507
00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:30.680
were available for probably the last which
was in and out of print all the

508
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:36.920
time. Sometimes you'd never find it
ord be expensive. I was a big

509
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:39.960
fan ever since two thousand and it
was two thousand nine Chrismas two thosand and

510
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:43.960
nine, maybe two thousand and eight. Yeah, I was spending the holiday

511
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:51.720
by myself and I went on my
secret super powered download site that is not

512
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:53.759
like a pirate bay. I mean, it's a place for movie nerds,

513
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:58.160
yeah, to get really rare movies, and I just downloaded. They had

514
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:00.519
a pack silent at dead night one
through five. I had never seen past

515
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:05.920
one. Oh wow. So I
watched them all in a row on Christmas

516
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:08.519
Day, just one by one by
one by one by one. That's like

517
00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:13.200
shell shock my god. Oh it
was amazing. And that was that's when

518
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:19.400
I got my incredible affinity for all
five of the original run well, and

519
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:24.279
I think honestly, with three what
is forgotten is that it is a sequel

520
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:30.480
to two. Because Ricky is a
Yeah, Ricky Callwell the comatos Ricky Cadwell

521
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:34.160
reawakens and begins to stalk a blind
woman who he shares a psychic connection with.

522
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:37.640
This one. Is it takes place
on Christmas Eve? Or is it

523
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:39.920
Christmas Eve? Is it eve?
Yeat? Is he? Because they're going

524
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:45.480
to grandma's house and you have Laura, who is played by Samantha Is it

525
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:50.759
school, Yeah, Samantha Scully.
She is going to her grandmother's house with

526
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:54.880
her brother. She's blind and she
keeps having flashbacks of Ricky and there's a

527
00:33:54.920 --> 00:34:00.559
whole play in the hospital and everything
with Ricky being connected to her through his

528
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:04.880
coma. And then Ricky suddenly wakes
up. And Ricky's played by Bill most

529
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:10.199
famous for Texas Chainsamasacer two and Devil's
Rejects. But his head he has like

530
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:14.280
a fish globe on top of his
head. You can see his brain,

531
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:17.480
his brain because they've been doing medical
experiments on him since he's comatose. Yeah,

532
00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:22.719
and he's psychically linked to this young
woman. The movie's nuts, but

533
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:27.039
it's it's it's got a weird it's
weird how the movie's crazy, but it's

534
00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:30.880
also very grounded at the same time. And that's actually one of the reasons

535
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.239
I really love it. Yeah,
I've always loved part three. I've always

536
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.199
had a big soft spot for it. I felt bad when I when I

537
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:38.199
told you I wasn't a fan of
it, because I said, nothing ever

538
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:40.679
happens. And then I think it's
twice now that you and I have watched

539
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:44.960
this movie both with him. There's
car crashes low, I mean, there's

540
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:49.840
multiple multiple attacks on people and car
crashes, and of course magic tricks.

541
00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:53.559
Who could forget the magic I love
the d story with the investigator and the

542
00:34:53.599 --> 00:35:00.320
doctor Doctor Neuva great. Yeah,
so Manti Hellman directed it in nineteen for

543
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:05.760
two eighty Laptop and Iguana nineteen eighty
nine. Silent a Deadly Night three,

544
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:07.639
Better Watch Out. That one is
available for rent. You can find it

545
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:10.800
pretty easily. And if you have
not picked up the Silent at Deadly Night

546
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:15.559
three pack of three through five that
Vestron put out last year, you really

547
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:17.960
should do that. It's loaded with
bonus if you're a movie collectors, it's

548
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:22.000
a dream. Yeah, and it's
also super affordable. So Silent a Deadly

549
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:23.840
Night three, nineteen eighty nine,
Better Watch Out. Moving up the list,

550
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:28.119
we are going to two thousand and
seven. Another big personal favorite of

551
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:30.800
Enrique's wind Chill. Oh Man,
wind Chill is one of those I can't

552
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:34.760
believe more people don't know it.
Yeah. So, I mean this is

553
00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:40.480
a very scary, eerie, atmospheric
and snowy movie. Yeah. I have

554
00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:45.559
a big love for snowy movie.
Yes. And wind Chill is all about

555
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:51.960
bad weather. I love snow because
snow is beautiful until it literally makes everything

556
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:53.159
more dangerous. Yeah. You know, you're like, oh, it's beautiful,

557
00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:55.639
it's snowing, and you know what, you know, when snow is

558
00:35:55.679 --> 00:36:00.119
wonderful, when you have nowhere to
go, where to go, you need

559
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:05.159
to go somewhere, whether it's to
work or to safety. Yeah, it

560
00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:08.519
gets a lot scarier very quickly.
And wind Chill is just is just a

561
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:13.079
cut above it really is so.
Wind Chill is the story of two college

562
00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:15.280
students share a ride home for the
holidays, but when they break down on

563
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:19.320
a deserted stretch of road, they
are preyed upon by the ghosts of people

564
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:23.119
who have died there. And wind
Chill it's so simple, it's so much

565
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:25.119
more. I mean, but it's
but it is basically that. Yeah,

566
00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:30.440
it's basically that wind Chill takes place
one hundred percent of Christmas and it doesn't

567
00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:32.559
have a lot of Christmas vibes to
it. But what I love I mean

568
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:36.880
the fact that it plays rocking around
the Christmas tree every time it shows up.

569
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:38.119
I forgot about that. Yeah,
yeah, no, there's there's so

570
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:42.199
much Christmas to it. Yeah,
the car, they have Christmas gifts in

571
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:45.119
the car. I mean. No, it's a very Christmas movie and also,

572
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:51.280
like like Enrique said, very scary. Also really one that more people

573
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:52.880
need to see, as he said, because this, for one, stars

574
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:57.400
Emily Blunt before she was very bill
in her career. Yeah. Yeah,

575
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:01.800
And it's just a really really fun
ghost story, really unsettling in parts,

576
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:06.880
and one that you'll definitely walk away
from not forgetting anything of it, because

577
00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:09.280
my god, it has an impact. Yeah, and it's it's funny.

578
00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:12.760
There was another movie around that same
time, which I'm sure is on your

579
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:15.159
list as well, which is dead
End. Yeah yeah, dead Ends here.

580
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:19.800
They're very similar but very different,
and they're both at Christmas time on

581
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:22.440
a haunted piece of road. I
love them both. No, it's a

582
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:25.800
lot of fun. Windschill is definitely
one to add into the list if you're

583
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:30.599
looking to get some spooky into your
Christmas two thousand and seven Windshill available via

584
00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:34.480
rental from Prime and Voodoo right now, so make sure you check that out.

585
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:37.239
Moving up the list, we're going
back again to the Silent at Deadly

586
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:42.280
Night series with the twenty ten or
twenty twelve remake Silent Night, starring Malcolm

587
00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:46.480
McDowell. I really have grown to
enjoy this one more and more. You

588
00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:50.800
convinced me to love it. I
know, it was not that I was

589
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:52.880
not that into it at first.
Now I do really like it. So

590
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:57.559
the police force of remote midwestern town
search for a killer Santa who is picking

591
00:37:57.559 --> 00:38:00.239
off citizens on Christmas Eve. First
off, if you think this is a

592
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:02.280
remake of Silent at Deadly Night,
it is not. It is only really

593
00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:06.480
in name, and you have a
psycho Santa. That's really about it with

594
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:08.880
it. This was one of those, really, I mean, I'm trying

595
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:13.280
to think when they kind of went
out of when Anchor Base stopped doing a

596
00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:15.360
lot of these, because they were
doing those remakes for a while, like

597
00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:17.559
Mother's Day and stuff. In regards
to producing. Yeah, I think they

598
00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:21.719
ended around twenty thirteen. Yeah,
so this is like probably one of the

599
00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:25.320
last ones Malcolm McDowell plays your sheriff. You've got a great performance by Jamie

600
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:30.760
King, who was in My Bloody
Valentine as one of the other lieutenants.

601
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.760
Donald Logu is in it as Santa
Jim and saying I love anything with Donald

602
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:37.920
Logu's fantastic. He's the dad from
Grounded for Life. That's how most people

603
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:40.920
probably remember. And also Deacon Frost's
Henchmen and Blade, Yes, Yes,

604
00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:46.199
and Silent Knights directed by Stephen Miller. He was known for Margo and he

605
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:51.840
also did the Marauders film in twenty
sixteen. He's done Under the Bed in

606
00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:54.440
twenty twelve. That was another one
that was kind of an underrated one.

607
00:38:54.440 --> 00:39:00.920
But this is a very fun,
straightforward slasher that's also very mean. Yes,

608
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:04.199
you get a lot of shout outs
to especially so at Deadly Night one

609
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:07.480
in it with some of the kills, and overall it's just a really fun

610
00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:10.480
time. If you're looking for one
of those like late aughts slasher films like

611
00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:14.440
this, this is the perfect tea
for a Christmas slasher film. Yeah,

612
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:17.079
like I said, grew on me
a lot. Initially I wasn't that impressed,

613
00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:22.880
but now upon subsequent viewings, I
really appreciate what they were going for

614
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:25.199
with it. And also, if
you want a huge selling point, Santa

615
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:29.480
does have a flamethrower the last twenty
minutes of the movie, which was based

616
00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:32.920
on a real story. Yeah.
I feel I'm ashamed to say I can't

617
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:37.519
remember because I covered it last year
on Terrifying and True right here on Weekly

618
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:42.280
Spooky. It was a California murder
where it was a Santa with a flame

619
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:45.639
flamethrower. Yeah, and god,
I feel so guilty. I can't remember

620
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:46.760
the name of it right now,
but like, it was very scary,

621
00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:52.000
no, very scary concept, very
scary fun movie. And also this is

622
00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:55.400
one of the killer Santa's in regards
to wearing a mask where the eyes are

623
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:59.440
just blacked out, so it's even
more terrifying every time he's on screen.

624
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:01.599
Yeah. Baby, So that is
Silent Night remake from twenty twelve. Make

625
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:04.480
sure you check that out if you
have, and it's a really good addition

626
00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:07.239
to the series. Going back a
little bit, we are going to go

627
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:12.119
to nineteen seventy two with the original
e C Comics film of Tales from the

628
00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:17.159
Crypt, which a fifth of it
is Christmas. But it really clicks so

629
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:21.360
I'll tell you a quick story about
the original Tales from the Crypt Amicus was

630
00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:24.760
it seventy four seventy two? I
Love So and All through the House?

631
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:28.880
Yeah, is the name of the
segment. It's one of the one.

632
00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:31.840
It's one of the first examples of
a Killer Santa. The ec comic I

633
00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:36.239
think Collins was one of the was
one of the first examples of a Killer

634
00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:40.280
Santa in popular culture? Was that
ecy comic that they're basing the Amicus film

635
00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:45.119
on. Yeah, but I love
the version, both the version from the

636
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:46.599
Tales from The TV show and the
Tales of a Crypt movie. Yeah,

637
00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:50.679
they're very different. I mean,
well, this one's very British obviously.

638
00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:54.559
But one year on Christmas Eve,
instead of watching the Tales from Crypt TV

639
00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:57.039
show, which is what I always
do, I was like, Hey,

640
00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:00.000
Rachel, let's watch something different.
Let's watch the Amicus Tales the Crypt segment.

641
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:04.800
Yeah, and no joke, we
were supposed to just watch that segment.

642
00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:07.760
We watched the whole film, yeah, because it's super good good And

643
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:12.039
then we ended up watching Vault of
Horror view years just because we wanted to.

644
00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:14.320
We just were really digging it.
So yeah, no, that's a

645
00:41:14.360 --> 00:41:17.760
great one. Yeah. Freddy Francis
directed this for Amicus in seventy two.

646
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:22.360
This is a the first anthology of
the ec comics. So you have five

647
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:25.519
strangers get lost at crypt and after
meeting the mysterious crypt keeper, who was

648
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:30.119
played by Ralph Richards, they receive
visions of how they will die. Has

649
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:32.679
one of the best reveal endings I
think. I mean that you can kind

650
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:37.440
of predict well. The reason you
can predict it is because they did it

651
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:40.679
early. Yeah, but now it's
just it's always always the twist. Yeah.

652
00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:45.519
But Joan Collins is your your woman, your actress in the All Through

653
00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:50.320
Woman. Your woman is the actress
in the all Through the House segment and

654
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:54.119
if you're familiar with the HBO version
of it, the God I can't think

655
00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:58.880
of her name, and I'm gonna
kick myself for not but she is really

656
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:00.639
really good in that series, and
Larry Drake is really really good as the

657
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:06.039
killer Santa. There is something just
way more unsettling about it being an older

658
00:42:06.119 --> 00:42:09.440
time period and also the reveal in
regards to when she kills her husband with

659
00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:13.440
a newspaper. Yeah, no,
it's there's something very like I said,

660
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:17.199
it's very British, very dry,
very matter of fact and creepy. Yeah,

661
00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:20.719
and it's if it's one that you
have not seen or it's been a

662
00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:22.639
while, it's definitely worth revisiting.
As Enrique said, you may end up

663
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.199
watching the whole movie because once you
start you just can't stop. Yeah,

664
00:42:25.239 --> 00:42:29.400
it's like Pringles Kid. That's exactly
like Pringles. So. Tales from the

665
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:31.639
Crip is currently available on pltz,
Roku, to a channel and to b

666
00:42:31.800 --> 00:42:36.320
It's also available on Crackle and you
can get a very awesome Blu ray if

667
00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:39.239
it's still in print from Shot Factory
that has both Tales from the Cryp nineteen

668
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:44.000
seventy two in Voltive Horror from seventy
four, really really good collection. If

669
00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:45.840
you haven't seen either of those,
it's definitely worth picking up. Moving up

670
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:50.039
the list, we are going to
take a little detour from horror again,

671
00:42:50.079 --> 00:42:52.800
but I think it counts in regards
to the contest. Hey, let me

672
00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:55.840
see her. This one, Eyes
Wide Shut from nineteen ninety nine. What

673
00:42:55.920 --> 00:43:01.599
are you talking about? Takes place
a Christmas time, okay, And also

674
00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:07.119
it's a pretty unsettling movie shut.
I mean yeah, it's a settling but

675
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:09.760
like on your list, It's on
my list because I showed it to Ali

676
00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:14.000
for the first time last year,
and I hadn't seen Eyes Wide Shut probably

677
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:16.880
been like five or six years.
The reason I included Eyes Wide Shut is

678
00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:21.280
because it is a Christmas movie and
does play on the christas element a lot.

679
00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:27.480
The ending portions of it, with
the secret society and the rothschild aspect.

680
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:30.480
The stuff of it is really unsettling
and pretty much a horror film in

681
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:35.519
itself because you really don't know once
Tom Cruise goes into that house if he's

682
00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:37.719
coming back out right, and there
is a lot of secrecy to it.

683
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:44.039
There's a lot of not knowing what's
going to happen in regards to his actions

684
00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:50.039
that he completely he he is trying
to have sexist essentially in the movie,

685
00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:52.320
he's not happy in his marriage and
he finds out that his buddy has this

686
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:58.440
ticket to this like secret like brothel
sex meeting. Everything that under the sun

687
00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:01.320
goes, where the people robes,
they wear masks, they meet in a

688
00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:06.360
secret way, and this is all
under the under the element of Christmas time.

689
00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:09.599
So I personally lobbed it in the
list because I have included it in

690
00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:13.639
my lineup for the last couple of
years. I get again it's a bit

691
00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:15.679
of a cheat, but Ice White
Shut really does have some horrific moments in

692
00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:19.360
it that does I think make it
qualify for the list in this case,

693
00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:23.199
Well, I guess I'll revisit it
because I see where you're coming from.

694
00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:27.480
But I'm still list. It was
it was a it was a not a

695
00:44:27.519 --> 00:44:29.760
last minute edition, but it was
one of those that I was like,

696
00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:31.559
you know, I bet people people
know Ice White Shut. I mean,

697
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:34.920
it was a big hit when it
came out, but I feel like people

698
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:37.400
forget it for Christmas time. And
and I've seen that hilarious poster that's been

699
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:40.239
going around where it's eyes wide shut, but it's the four Christmases posts,

700
00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:45.280
so they've got They've got Tom Cruise
standing on a box and Nicole Gibbens at

701
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:49.039
the back of him. It's so
good, but no Ice Wide Shut for

702
00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:52.679
one super adult movie. So if
you're if you're not comfortable with NC seventeen,

703
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:55.880
really, honestly, it's almost it's
pretty much an X, especially if

704
00:44:55.880 --> 00:45:00.760
you get the European cut. It's
a very sexual, sexual packed film,

705
00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:05.159
but a really good performance from both
Kidman and Cruise, and also a really

706
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:09.320
good performance by Sydney Pollock as well
so directed by Stanley Krupick. I think

707
00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:13.679
it's his last movie. Actually might
be. I think it is. If

708
00:45:13.679 --> 00:45:15.920
you haven't seen Eyes Wide Shut,
if you don't want to watch it a

709
00:45:15.960 --> 00:45:19.159
Christmas time, completely lead to stand. But it is qualifying for the Christmas

710
00:45:19.239 --> 00:45:22.320
time, and it is a really
really good thriller that leaves you unsettled even

711
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:25.440
as those credits roll, and it
kind of does have a happy ending even

712
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:30.719
more so that makes it unsettling in
my opinion. Okay, you need to

713
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:32.960
revisit I Wide Shut. I you
I let you write the list. Yes,

714
00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:37.599
yes you did. For Better nineteen
eighty nine. Eyes Wide Shut not

715
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:40.400
necessarily a horror film, but the
actions and set pieces and everything else in

716
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:46.679
it kind of qualifies for that category. Don't go Away Weekly Spooky will be

717
00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:54.280
right back. Moving up to the
second to last of the seasonal revisits.

718
00:45:54.679 --> 00:46:00.920
You can listen this episode all about
this movie, Don't Open to Christmas nineteen

719
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:04.559
eighty four. On do You Even
Movie? We went into a large,

720
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:07.280
large tangent about our love for this
movie, especially with the fact that it's

721
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:12.360
not a good movie. It's a
great movie. Don't Over Till Christmas is

722
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:15.480
a euroslasher from nineteen eighty four directed
by Edmund Perdam, one of three directors

723
00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:17.639
on the movie. Again, listen
to Do You Even Movie for the full

724
00:46:17.679 --> 00:46:22.639
description on the insanity of this movie. But it's essentially the story of what

725
00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:25.320
happens in London when a serial killer
decides that he's just gonna pick off Santa's

726
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:30.320
and anybody wearing any Santa Claus garb
in nineteen eighties London. It's a crazy

727
00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:35.960
film. It really is out of
its mind. It's you really don't even

728
00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:38.559
understand the lengths that they go to
in regards to and killing the kill scenes,

729
00:46:38.599 --> 00:46:42.719
and I'll just end it here.
If you're really curious about Don't Over

730
00:46:42.760 --> 00:46:45.599
Until Christmas. It is currently available
on shutter but make sure you listen to

731
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:49.400
our Do You Even Movie episode afterwards. We got a lot of history about

732
00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:52.880
it and also just go into the
exact zaniness of it if you want to

733
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:55.280
listen to us describe it before you
even watch it. That's a truly insane

734
00:46:55.280 --> 00:47:00.000
film. I enjoy the hell out
of it, but that movie is bizarre

735
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:02.760
as hell. It's it is something
that you have to see with your eyes

736
00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:06.320
in order for you to believe it. Well, if you uh see with

737
00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:08.599
your ass? Yeah, I mean, how do you usually watch things with

738
00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:13.039
your butt? I always forget that
and closing out seasonal revisits, And don't

739
00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:15.960
hate me for putting it on this
list. I will Black Xmas two thousand

740
00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:19.320
and six. I love that movie. No, I know, but I

741
00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:21.239
could have put it on the Christmas
eve list. But we'll get to that.

742
00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:23.599
Uh oh, god, n I
know. Two thousand and six Black

743
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:29.440
x Miss the remake of Black Christmas. This honestly is one Enrique that you

744
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:32.320
made me love. It was I'm
the one that got you back into the

745
00:47:32.320 --> 00:47:37.840
way. Well, I have a
different experience with Black Xmas than most people.

746
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:40.119
I saw it in the theater on
premiere night, Yeah, Thursday night

747
00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:45.239
at the previews, packed house.
We all loved it. I know it

748
00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:50.159
flopped and everything, but like the
audience I saw it with, we were

749
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:54.199
all going crazy for it because it's
a wild ride. It's it's two thousands

750
00:47:54.239 --> 00:48:00.360
as hell. Hell, it's it's
Scott Michelle Trachtenberg in it from Nickelodeon Fame.

751
00:48:00.440 --> 00:48:05.480
It's got all kinds of people from
like the area, Mary Elizabeth Winstead

752
00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:08.239
before she was even big Kate Cassidy. It's also got the alum of Andrea

753
00:48:08.280 --> 00:48:12.039
Martin, who plays one of the
students in the original Black Christmas. She

754
00:48:12.039 --> 00:48:16.519
plays the dead mother. But it's
just it's a nasty, gross, silly

755
00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:21.760
movie. It's got laughs, it's
got scares, it's got everything. And

756
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:24.280
I because of my experiencing in the
theater, I didn't know that it was

757
00:48:24.360 --> 00:48:29.239
maligned by so many people until years
later, So I guess that makes sense

758
00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:30.039
why I was like, when you
were you and I talked about it,

759
00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:34.480
I was like, no, it's
great, come on, Black Black Xmas.

760
00:48:34.559 --> 00:48:38.960
For me a I didn't discover it
until I was in my sophomore junior

761
00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:42.760
year of high school, so I
think that was like two years after it

762
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:45.760
came out. I was just always
blown away by how gross it gets,

763
00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:49.360
because like it's really you think at
one point you're like, well, I

764
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:52.360
can't get any grosser than this,
and then somehow it ups the annie even

765
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:54.719
more. Stepping on a human eyeball
with a barefoot, stepping on the human

766
00:48:54.719 --> 00:48:59.360
eyeball, back cookies made of skin, that that we get to watch it

767
00:48:59.360 --> 00:49:02.559
get munched while the cops are invading
the house. I mean it's Black Christmas

768
00:49:02.639 --> 00:49:07.000
Is. Black Aximis is the remake
of Black Christmas, the Bob Clark nineteen

769
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:10.119
seventy four classic. This is the
up to version of it with everything under

770
00:49:10.119 --> 00:49:15.000
the Sun from Sex Gore and I
mean just really unsettling premises that give a

771
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:17.760
backstory to Billy that we really didn't
even know we need it. Oh,

772
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:22.360
they ramp everything to eleven, ramp
everything to eleven. Black Axmis is definitely

773
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:28.719
a I don't even know where like
how to express the importance. If you

774
00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:31.639
haven't seen it and you love those
like really good gory remakes that we got

775
00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:36.199
in the early two thousands, this
is one of the best and also has

776
00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:40.039
a really haunting way of the sugar
plum fairy theme. Oh yeah, god

777
00:49:40.559 --> 00:49:44.960
no, everything about that movie's extra. It's so good. Black Black AXMBS

778
00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:49.559
two thousand and six currently available on
shutter Free v Pluto and it also it

779
00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:52.559
is one that is not available on
Blu Ray unrated, So if you want

780
00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:54.000
to see the unraided cut which has
everything, you got to either buy it

781
00:49:54.000 --> 00:49:58.880
on Voodoo or get the DVD.
Yeah no, I have a German Blu

782
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:01.280
Ray, but it's the r rad
I mean it's nice because it looks great.

783
00:50:01.320 --> 00:50:06.000
But all right, so we are
finished up with our seasonal revisits,

784
00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:08.320
We're gonna move into the underrated Christmas
horror. This is a list that I

785
00:50:08.360 --> 00:50:13.679
have composed of movies that I have
either watched repeatedly or they're ones that I

786
00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:15.719
feel that just don't get enough respect
and need to have more eyes especially.

787
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:20.920
We're gonna start off with one that
I just saw last year. I didn't

788
00:50:21.119 --> 00:50:27.239
personally love this movie, but I
enjoyed it. And this is Christmas Christmas

789
00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:31.280
Cruelty from twenty thirteen. This is
another finish film, and this was one

790
00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:35.639
that was kind of hard to get
a hold of until it was last year

791
00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:38.960
that Unearthed Films put it onto Blu
Ray and our good buddy Rob Fields.

792
00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:45.000
Rob if you're listening to this.
You gave me this as just because he

793
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:46.800
didn't like it, and he's like, I'm gonna send this to you for

794
00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:51.639
Christmas. It's the story of a
serial killer and his victims as they all

795
00:50:51.679 --> 00:50:53.679
prepare for the Christmas in their own
ways. This year, it doesn't matter

796
00:50:53.719 --> 00:50:57.320
if you've been naughty or nice.
Santa is coming to town no matter what,

797
00:50:57.400 --> 00:51:01.440
and he knows where you live.
This is the story of like four

798
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:06.119
or five friends that live together that
are kind of fuck ups. You meet

799
00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:09.960
them after ten minutes of the opening, which includes rape, torture, the

800
00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:14.360
murder of an infant with a handsaw. Okay. It is the story of

801
00:51:14.400 --> 00:51:16.800
a serial killer that dawns a Santa
costume and basically terrorizes people, but he's

802
00:51:16.800 --> 00:51:22.800
also a social worker with a family. The movie itself is really how do

803
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:27.000
I put this movie itself is really
extreme, but you also have to wait

804
00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:29.599
for it because, like you have, it kind of spread out with character

805
00:51:29.639 --> 00:51:34.159
development. This is one that if
you're into like the Untold Story or any

806
00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:37.679
of the other like extreme horror films
like Serbian film esque, this is one

807
00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:42.280
for you. Christmas Cruelty is as
heinous as it gets. I mean you

808
00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:45.119
get to see Santa go to work
with a chainsaw, a hammer, a

809
00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:46.639
saw. I mean he literally puts
it to a baby, and like they

810
00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:50.119
show it for like the first in
the first ten minutes of the movie.

811
00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:52.719
Well, you know you know what
you're in for exactly. So Christmas Cruelty

812
00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:58.719
available from On Earth Films on Blu
Ray right now twenty thirteen. It is

813
00:51:58.960 --> 00:52:01.559
not readily avail except on two B, but you can also get that blue

814
00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:05.360
Rat pretty easily, and I don't
think it's a available durnt except on Prime

815
00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:07.239
right now, so this are the
only two places you can get it.

816
00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:09.280
So if you are into extreme horror
for Christmas and you want something you haven't

817
00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:14.079
seen Christmas, Cruelty is one that
will definitely what you appetite. A little

818
00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:17.679
something disgusting extra under the tree absolutely
Moving up into the list, we have

819
00:52:17.800 --> 00:52:22.079
one that I just discovered a couple
weeks ago called Hosts from twenty twenty.

820
00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:27.519
This is a British horror film about
a family that invites their neighbors over for

821
00:52:27.519 --> 00:52:30.199
a Christmas dinner with disastrous consequences.
And those consequences are the fact that their

822
00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:36.519
neighbors have just been infected by aliens, so alien beans have invaded their bodies.

823
00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:42.960
This is not a fun watch again
because I'm gonna sell this scene or

824
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:45.800
myself this movie with one scene.
So they're all sitting down to Christmas dinner.

825
00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:49.159
You have the two neighbors, you
have the father, the mother,

826
00:52:49.239 --> 00:52:52.440
and the two kids that are visiting
with their families as well, and the

827
00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:58.000
mother interrupts Christmas dinner to basically go
on this speech about how they know she

828
00:52:58.079 --> 00:53:00.000
has cancer and there was a fear
it came back, and she just got

829
00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:02.480
the test results back and they've said
that they don't want to go further with

830
00:53:02.519 --> 00:53:07.119
any more testing because she's in remission. So they give this whole, like

831
00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:09.920
five minute spiel of her being in
remission and everybody's happy, and then the

832
00:53:09.960 --> 00:53:15.119
one chick that's been infected by the
alien literally reaches over the table with a

833
00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:17.599
hammer and pounds her head in for
about a solid forty five seconds in front

834
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:22.199
of this family, after she's just
delivered this whole tribe I'm being free of

835
00:53:22.239 --> 00:53:27.119
cancer. There's a lot of menace
in this one, because this is essentially

836
00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:30.639
a twist on a home invasion story. A twist A twist, yes it

837
00:53:30.679 --> 00:53:36.760
is, I think a very yeah, eighty nine minute runtime. Not one

838
00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:39.519
that you want to put on for
a light watch, but if you're into

839
00:53:40.039 --> 00:53:45.760
home invasion films such as a kidnapped
or a trespass or anything along those lines,

840
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:49.440
and you want something with a little
more oomb for your Christmas watching.

841
00:53:50.039 --> 00:53:52.639
There's only like one Christmas scene,
so you know, you got a long

842
00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:54.679
ride to the in laws, so
you want to put some on the iPad

843
00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:59.360
for the Kid in the back Seat, The You Go So Host twenty twenty.

844
00:53:59.760 --> 00:54:02.000
It is one I would recommend,
and it's also readily available right now.

845
00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:05.960
I actually streamed at myself on FREEB
you can get on two B and

846
00:54:06.039 --> 00:54:09.360
plex. Definitely worth a watch if
you're into the home invasion thrillers, because

847
00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:13.000
it definitely does not hold back on
them. Moving up the list. We

848
00:54:13.039 --> 00:54:15.159
are going to go back to Shutter
for one of their other originals, twenty

849
00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:20.079
twenty one, The Advent Calendar.
Was this one we watched last year?

850
00:54:20.119 --> 00:54:22.960
Or was this a couple of years
ago? I think that was two years

851
00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:24.960
is two years ago? Yeah?
So The advant Calendar in twenty twenty one

852
00:54:25.079 --> 00:54:28.679
is the story of Eva, as
a peeraplegic. On her birthday, her

853
00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:31.199
friend Sophie gives her a strange Advent
calendar. It's not the traditional treats you

854
00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:37.920
find when you open each drawer,
but quirky gifts that are scarier and scary

855
00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:42.280
and get bloodier. This movie is
nothing but dread. I'm gonna put that

856
00:54:42.320 --> 00:54:45.000
out there right now. The Advent
Calendar is a very dark French film.

857
00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:50.119
Well, I mean that's saying something. Yeah, the French love their dark

858
00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:53.639
movie. Yes they do. This
is one that has a Christmas you know,

859
00:54:53.639 --> 00:54:57.480
in another area, so you're not
gonna get like the full Christmas vibe

860
00:54:57.480 --> 00:55:02.480
that you get, but there are
Christmas parties. It has really unexpected scenes

861
00:55:02.480 --> 00:55:07.400
of violence in regards to what the
Advent Calendar reveals that you can guess almost

862
00:55:07.400 --> 00:55:09.679
in a final destination way, what's
gonna happen to the characters. Oh yeah,

863
00:55:09.679 --> 00:55:15.440
I mean I would agree. It's
got very very dark plot to it,

864
00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:17.920
and the character. The acting in
this is also spot on. You

865
00:55:19.000 --> 00:55:21.679
really start to feel for Eva because
she gets to a point where she doesn't

866
00:55:21.679 --> 00:55:23.760
want to open the calendar but she
has to. Yeah. Yeah, No,

867
00:55:23.840 --> 00:55:27.920
it's it's a fun one in that
it's, uh, it's got a

868
00:55:27.960 --> 00:55:30.559
lot of twists and turns. You
don't really know where it's heading. Yeah,

869
00:55:30.599 --> 00:55:34.760
and I remember being pretty engrossed it
was the whole way through. It

870
00:55:34.800 --> 00:55:36.599
was it was a lot of it
was I don't say a lot of fun,

871
00:55:36.599 --> 00:55:39.119
but it was a good watch.
Advent calendar one that you definitely want

872
00:55:39.119 --> 00:55:43.559
to get, probably into the Christmas
season a little earlier with because like I

873
00:55:43.559 --> 00:55:45.960
said, it has Christmas in it, but it kind of strays away from

874
00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:47.320
it to like that last twenty minutes
if I remember correctly, Yeah, yeah,

875
00:55:47.360 --> 00:55:52.119
failures, so they haven't. Calendar
twenty twenty one currently available on Shutter

876
00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:54.719
and AMC Plus. Check it out
if you are in for the if you're

877
00:55:54.719 --> 00:55:58.719
into the French films, this is
definitely one of the better ones. Moving

878
00:55:58.760 --> 00:56:00.800
up the list, we are gonna
go with a another recent discovery, nineteen

879
00:56:00.880 --> 00:56:06.800
seventy two's Whoever Slew Anti Rue?
This was one that Joe Bob kind of

880
00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:09.519
illuminated me too. I've never seen
this, so this is the story.

881
00:56:10.000 --> 00:56:15.920
This is a film for SETI two
that has Shelley Winters and also has Mark

882
00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:20.159
Lester Innitt, who was famous for
being Oliver in the sixties Oliver musical Ron

883
00:56:20.199 --> 00:56:24.400
Moody one of my favorite movies.
It's the story of a widow who basically

884
00:56:24.480 --> 00:56:29.920
every Christmas invites some orphans over to
her house to give them the best Christmas.

885
00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:32.800
But she's also dealing with a loss
of her recent child. So one

886
00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:36.679
of the kids this year looks a
lot like her daughter, and she decides

887
00:56:36.679 --> 00:56:38.760
that she kind of wants to keep
her. It's a spin on Hanzel and

888
00:56:38.800 --> 00:56:45.119
Gretel. Well is aren't you allowed
to keep or bulls. This is not

889
00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:46.760
the point of adoption. I mean
in a sense, yes, I don't

890
00:56:46.760 --> 00:56:51.119
think she wants to go through the
proper channels. Shelley Winters plays the demented

891
00:56:51.159 --> 00:56:58.519
widow, and this movie is you
have Christmas in it centrally with the Morning

892
00:56:58.559 --> 00:57:00.719
of Christmas when the kids are like
going through the toys and then the initial

893
00:57:00.760 --> 00:57:04.920
inviting them over and whatnot. It
doesn't have a lot of Christmas in it,

894
00:57:04.960 --> 00:57:07.800
but it's definitely falls into the category
Joe Bob even said it did.

895
00:57:07.280 --> 00:57:12.719
This is also a little bit of
a haunted house in a sense because this

896
00:57:12.880 --> 00:57:16.480
mansion has different levels to it.
Shelley Winter's dresses as a princess at like

897
00:57:16.519 --> 00:57:20.480
one point and like has the corpse
of her daughter in a crib that she

898
00:57:20.559 --> 00:57:24.239
talks to got So you have the
kids fighting back against her because Mark Lester

899
00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:28.360
as the little boy is trying to
save the little girl and Shelley Winters is

900
00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:30.760
one hundred percent trying to kidnap this
kid and try to get away with it,

901
00:57:30.840 --> 00:57:34.199
so like they're trying to fake her
death at one point so she can

902
00:57:34.440 --> 00:57:38.599
the orphanage like drops it and everything. It is a really really good thriller,

903
00:57:38.719 --> 00:57:44.440
and I was pleasantly surprised with it, and the performances in it even

904
00:57:44.440 --> 00:57:46.960
sell it more so. Okay,
who slew Auntie Roue? I need to

905
00:57:47.039 --> 00:57:51.519
see that? Whoever slew Auntie Roue? Shelley Winters, Mark Lester, Chloe

906
00:57:51.559 --> 00:57:53.679
Franks, directed by Churris Harrington.
This is one that you're gonna have to

907
00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:58.239
rent, or you can find the
old MGM DVD like I did, which

908
00:57:58.280 --> 00:58:01.599
also had what What's wrong with Aunt
Helen? Or whatever Happened to Aunt Helen?

909
00:58:01.960 --> 00:58:05.920
It's another one. Michelley Winters,
she did two really weird movies and

910
00:58:05.920 --> 00:58:07.760
they put him together on the same
disc. Fair enough, nineteen seventy two.

911
00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:12.199
Whoever slew Anti rou If you're looking
that rhynd, you're looking for a

912
00:58:12.519 --> 00:58:15.320
If you're looking for a weird one
but also fun one, that is one

913
00:58:15.320 --> 00:58:17.719
to check out. Moving up the
list, let's go back to our favorite

914
00:58:17.800 --> 00:58:22.800
Christmas horror series of Silent at Deadly
Night five the Toy Makers. This one.

915
00:58:23.679 --> 00:58:28.960
You know, people expect series to
lose steam as they go on,

916
00:58:29.840 --> 00:58:35.760
but just when you thought the fourth
Silent Night Deadly Night movie was Batshit,

917
00:58:36.519 --> 00:58:40.920
we get Silent Night Deadly Night five, which is extremely christmasy, maybe the

918
00:58:40.920 --> 00:58:45.840
most Christmasy since the first one,
and also stars Mickey Rooney, who famously

919
00:58:46.119 --> 00:58:51.480
lambasted Silent at Deadly Night original.
Yes, he hated the first one,

920
00:58:51.519 --> 00:58:55.360
the original one. He said that
everybody's ashamed for making it and now here

921
00:58:55.400 --> 00:59:00.519
he is starring in Part five to
get Liquor money yep, and has Joe

922
00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:07.920
Pedo, Joe Peto and I but
Silent Night, Deadly Night five super Christmas.

923
00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:10.000
Y. It's about a toy maker
who makes toys that kill children.

924
00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:15.719
So it's not for kids, no, but it's a really fun one.

925
00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:17.039
And I'm not kidding though, like
Part one and Part five are the most

926
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:21.320
Christmasy of all of the film.
Yeah, in the series, this one

927
00:59:21.360 --> 00:59:24.119
is super fun. It's produced by
Brian Usena but not directed by him.

928
00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:30.480
Yeah. Martin Martin Catrosser, Yeah, Katrosser who's famous for being Quentin Tantino's

929
00:59:30.559 --> 00:59:31.400
editor and a bunch of ns.
Right, that's where I know that name

930
00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:35.920
from. And uh, it's a
it's a wild film. The ending will

931
00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:38.119
leave your jaw on the goddamn floor. You will not see it coming.

932
00:59:38.159 --> 00:59:40.920
I love that end. Ding.
Even if you think you see it coming,

933
00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:44.880
you don't see it coming. Yeah, and also eighty six minute runs

934
00:59:44.920 --> 00:59:47.199
on which a lot of those sequels
are super short. This one will fly

935
00:59:47.360 --> 00:59:52.440
by because again it's that absurdity.
Yeah, I won't believe what you're seeing.

936
00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:55.239
Silent, Deadly Night. Five The
Toy Maker nineteen ninety one, currently

937
00:59:55.280 --> 01:00:00.320
available to rent on Amazon and Voodoo. If you have not seen any of

938
01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:02.119
those sequels, make sure five goes
to the top of the list, because

939
01:00:02.119 --> 01:00:05.960
that's one that will keep it going
in the series. They're all pretty self

940
01:00:06.000 --> 01:00:09.480
contained that you don't have to watch
them in order. No, don't go

941
01:00:09.599 --> 01:00:17.920
away weekly, Spooky will be right
back. So moving up the list,

942
01:00:17.920 --> 01:00:22.079
we're gonna go to twenty nineteen.
One that you and I discovered last year

943
01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:23.840
that I think, honestly, I
was pretty impressed by it. I Trapped

944
01:00:23.840 --> 01:00:28.639
the Devil. Oh yeah, yeah, this is a This is a slow

945
01:00:28.639 --> 01:00:32.000
burn from I think I have c
might be behind it if I'm not mistaken.

946
01:00:32.840 --> 01:00:37.800
This is the story of Aman descends
into paranoia after trapping what he believes

947
01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:39.320
to be the devil in his basement, but things take a dark turn when

948
01:00:39.320 --> 01:00:44.760
his family unexpectedly arrive for Christmas.
That one was it was out there,

949
01:00:44.920 --> 01:00:49.039
Yeah, It was really really intense. It was I Trapped the Devil is

950
01:00:49.039 --> 01:00:52.079
not a light watch. You have
a very, like I said, slow

951
01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:54.559
Burn movie of a guy who's trying
to convince his family that he has caught

952
01:00:54.559 --> 01:00:58.360
the devil and that he's not insane, and that they also can't let the

953
01:00:58.360 --> 01:01:04.000
devil out. Meanwhile, the devil
figure is taking voices and trying to manipulate

954
01:01:04.039 --> 01:01:07.559
them into making it think that he's
kidnapped somebody. Yes not. It is

955
01:01:07.800 --> 01:01:14.400
really really a tough watch in parts
in regards to just how dark it goes

956
01:01:14.440 --> 01:01:19.639
into the abscess of the psyche,
especially some great lighting tricks in it,

957
01:01:19.760 --> 01:01:24.000
some great cinematography, and the Christmas
element is because he has his Christmas tree

958
01:01:24.000 --> 01:01:27.360
and everything set up with the Christmas
lights outside. But other than that,

959
01:01:27.440 --> 01:01:30.440
there's like no Christmas carols or anything. This is one that if you are

960
01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:35.800
into those darker watches of wanting to
find out psychologically what the hell's going on.

961
01:01:36.199 --> 01:01:38.760
I Trapped the Devil I cannot recommend
enough because you really have no idea

962
01:01:38.800 --> 01:01:42.920
what you're getting into. Yeah,
that's a dark, intense view. If

963
01:01:42.920 --> 01:01:45.519
ever, there was one for the
holiday season, mm hmm. Yeah,

964
01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:47.760
Now that one's a hell of a
flick. So that is available currently on

965
01:01:47.880 --> 01:01:52.599
AMC, Plush, Shutter, IMC
Films Unlimited. You can also rent it

966
01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:55.559
easily on Voodoo or Amazon. I
Saw the Devil twenty nineteen. Make sure

967
01:01:55.639 --> 01:02:00.719
you have I Trapped. I Saw
the Devil's my favorite moves. I Trap

968
01:02:00.800 --> 01:02:02.480
the Devil. Make sure you have
a light watch warm warmed up for after

969
01:02:02.519 --> 01:02:07.440
it. Yeah, but that's maybe
it's time to watch Home Alone after that

970
01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:09.440
one. Yeah. Moving up the
list, we're gonna go back to one

971
01:02:09.480 --> 01:02:13.559
that Enrique had already mentioned. You. Actually, I don't know if you

972
01:02:13.599 --> 01:02:15.119
realize this. You made me find
this movie. I had heard about it,

973
01:02:15.159 --> 01:02:19.440
but I didn't realize how Christmasy it
was two thousand and three is dead

974
01:02:19.639 --> 01:02:22.960
End? I did me that was
you. That was all you, because

975
01:02:22.000 --> 01:02:24.400
you posted about it one year and
I was like, I've heard about that,

976
01:02:24.440 --> 01:02:28.920
but dead End. This is a
great one. Very similar to well

977
01:02:28.960 --> 01:02:30.719
what was the wind Chill? Windchill? Thank you? Very similar, but

978
01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:34.840
also very different. Yeah, it's
got a different twist. It's got a

979
01:02:34.840 --> 01:02:39.000
different setting. It's set in California, there's not snow. I love this

980
01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:42.800
one. I really do. Christmas
Eve on his way to his in laws

981
01:02:42.840 --> 01:02:46.079
with his family. Frank Harrington,
played by the amazing Ray Wise by the

982
01:02:46.119 --> 01:02:49.920
way, Yes, decide to try
a shortcut for the first time in twenty

983
01:02:50.000 --> 01:02:52.719
years. It turns out to be
the biggest mistake of his life. His

984
01:02:52.760 --> 01:02:55.800
wife, also played by the amazing
Lynche Yeah, famous for the Insidious films.

985
01:02:55.880 --> 01:03:01.920
Yeah. Dead End is is a
mix of a road trip movie and

986
01:03:01.960 --> 01:03:06.280
ascent into Hell. I would say, of sorts, Yeah, I mean

987
01:03:06.320 --> 01:03:10.079
it's it's another endless it's an endless
road movie. And that's one part where

988
01:03:10.079 --> 01:03:14.320
it's very different from Windchill Winchill.
They're trapped on a road that kind of

989
01:03:14.360 --> 01:03:16.519
never ends, and this one they're
trapped on a road driving it and it

990
01:03:16.599 --> 01:03:21.440
never ends. And they're on their
way to you know, to spend Christmas

991
01:03:21.440 --> 01:03:24.559
with family. So there's like pie
and in the car and hip Pie.

992
01:03:25.079 --> 01:03:30.199
There's all kinds of great moments in
dead End. But also it's legitimately creepy.

993
01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:32.960
It's legitimate clear py. We also
forgot to mention that there's a hearse

994
01:03:34.039 --> 01:03:37.719
basically stock stalking them every bit of
the way, and slowly but surely some

995
01:03:37.760 --> 01:03:40.639
of the family members get taken away
in it, and they keep going down

996
01:03:40.679 --> 01:03:44.280
the road to try and get them
back. Yeah, they keep chasing after

997
01:03:44.320 --> 01:03:47.480
them and chasing after them, and
it becomes clearer and clearer that what's going

998
01:03:47.480 --> 01:03:52.679
on is not easily explainable. But
ray Wise brilliantly plays a father who's just

999
01:03:52.360 --> 01:03:57.000
unwilling to accept the idea that something
supernatural is going on. Yeah, a

1000
01:03:57.880 --> 01:04:01.159
great comparison to if you're a fan
of the Rest Stop series. This is

1001
01:04:01.159 --> 01:04:04.519
a bit of a rest stop at
Christmas almost. I would say it's somewhat

1002
01:04:04.519 --> 01:04:09.480
fair. Yeah. So dead End
two thousand and three currently available on freeb

1003
01:04:09.679 --> 01:04:14.280
Plex Prime Video and two b also
not on the not on Blu Ray at

1004
01:04:14.280 --> 01:04:15.480
this point, I believe. I
think it's only still on DVD. Yeah,

1005
01:04:16.119 --> 01:04:18.599
so make sure you check that one
out. It is a fun one

1006
01:04:18.639 --> 01:04:21.000
and a weird one at that.
Yeah. Moving up the list, we're

1007
01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:27.239
gonna go to twenty ten. Saint
Nick aka Saint or Sint depending on which

1008
01:04:27.320 --> 01:04:31.639
version of FINDI. This is a
insane one because while this is a Christmas

1009
01:04:31.639 --> 01:04:36.079
movie, this deals with Saint Nicholas
as a murderous bishop who kidnaps and murders

1010
01:04:36.159 --> 01:04:40.119
children when there is a full moon
on December fifth, So we're not at

1011
01:04:40.159 --> 01:04:44.239
Christmas time. We're also across the
country and across the world, across the

1012
01:04:44.239 --> 01:04:51.719
world. Apologies, And this is
one of those movies that you don't understand

1013
01:04:51.880 --> 01:04:57.719
how fucking crazy it's gonna get,
even when you're watching police chase Sanna on

1014
01:04:57.800 --> 01:05:00.599
rooftops with his reindeer or whatever while
they're bullets like it. It looks like

1015
01:05:00.639 --> 01:05:04.119
a chase scene from Spot at one
point, and it's it's just Saint Nicholas.

1016
01:05:04.199 --> 01:05:06.639
Yeah, no, no, this
is like Saint Nicholas is almost like

1017
01:05:06.639 --> 01:05:12.159
a super villain. Yeah, and
it is. It is a nutsy flick.

1018
01:05:12.239 --> 01:05:15.239
It's Christmas adjacent, yes, Christmas
adjacent, and very very fun.

1019
01:05:15.400 --> 01:05:20.039
Yeah. Directed by Dick Moss,
who gave us the amazing films such as

1020
01:05:20.079 --> 01:05:25.559
The Shaft and I think Lyft is
also one of his as well. Uh.

1021
01:05:25.599 --> 01:05:28.880
He was one of those crazy ass
directors when it came to his horror

1022
01:05:28.920 --> 01:05:31.719
films, Amsterdam being one of my
favorites in nineteen eighty eight. Dick Moss,

1023
01:05:31.840 --> 01:05:33.840
when you see that name on a
movie, you know you're in for

1024
01:05:33.880 --> 01:05:39.159
a good time. Saint is a
It has a bunch of suspense to it.

1025
01:05:39.239 --> 01:05:42.239
You've got high school kids fighting back
against Saint Nicholas at one point,

1026
01:05:43.199 --> 01:05:47.599
many decapitations, many explosions, a
lot of firefights, and the meaning of

1027
01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:51.119
Christmas at one point too, which
is what really the reason for the season.

1028
01:05:51.239 --> 01:05:55.639
Reason for the Season. Twenty ten
Saints and directed by Dick Moss,

1029
01:05:55.719 --> 01:06:00.000
currently available on AMC plus, Shutter
two, B and IFC. Definitely a

1030
01:06:00.039 --> 01:06:02.840
good one for the slasher fans out
there. If you're looking for something a

1031
01:06:02.880 --> 01:06:06.000
little different from the silent at deadly
night series, Saint will give you all

1032
01:06:06.039 --> 01:06:11.920
that and more. Moving up the
list, twenty fifteen's Christmas Horror Story.

1033
01:06:12.760 --> 01:06:16.159
This is one that I didn't like
the first time I watched it same and

1034
01:06:16.199 --> 01:06:19.599
then I watched it again when Joe
Bob Briggs hosted it and I loved it.

1035
01:06:19.719 --> 01:06:23.880
Yeah, I had a great time
with a Christmas horror story. Another

1036
01:06:23.920 --> 01:06:28.519
anthology one from RLJ Entertainment, again
released at twenty fifteen. If you're familiar

1037
01:06:28.599 --> 01:06:30.679
with how Walmart likes to edit their
movie sometimes, you may have seen this

1038
01:06:30.719 --> 01:06:34.519
one as a holiday horror story in
stores. From the slipcover. Yes,

1039
01:06:34.559 --> 01:06:40.840
and this features Bill Shatner playing a
radio DJ who's kind of the wrap around.

1040
01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:44.679
Yeah he is the rapper or the
stories within Yeah, and we have

1041
01:06:44.760 --> 01:06:47.079
interwoven stories that take place on Christmas
Eve, as told by a festive radio

1042
01:06:47.119 --> 01:06:50.880
host, A family brings more than
a Christmas tree home student documentary becomes a

1043
01:06:50.880 --> 01:06:56.639
living nightmare, a Christmas spirit terrorizes
and Santa slays evil. If there is

1044
01:06:56.719 --> 01:06:59.679
one selling point that I can give
you for this film, it's that you

1045
01:06:59.719 --> 01:07:03.880
get to see a buff ass Santa
take out zombie psycho elves ask Santa,

1046
01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:09.280
got it buff? No? No, it's it's no. This movie's super

1047
01:07:09.360 --> 01:07:12.840
fun. It's it's almost like,
you know, if you had older kids,

1048
01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:15.360
you know, like a teenager's,
you could watch it with them and

1049
01:07:15.360 --> 01:07:17.559
they'd have a blast. A great
Crampis story too, like one of the

1050
01:07:17.559 --> 01:07:20.480
most unsettling Crampis stories. I would
say, Yeah, no, I would

1051
01:07:20.480 --> 01:07:25.880
agree. Chrismas Horror Story twenty fifteen
currently available on Shutter and to be easily

1052
01:07:25.920 --> 01:07:29.039
available on Blu Ray as well from
RLJ one. That is a lot of

1053
01:07:29.079 --> 01:07:30.960
fun. A lot of the stories
go places you do not expect, and

1054
01:07:31.280 --> 01:07:34.039
Shatner is really having fun in this
role. Yeah, he's having a blast.

1055
01:07:34.159 --> 01:07:38.639
There's no sense of cynicism from him
at all. He's just having a

1056
01:07:38.679 --> 01:07:41.679
great time. Yep, Moving up
the list. One that you may have

1057
01:07:41.760 --> 01:07:45.000
heard of but maybe never seen.
Silent Night, Bloody Night from nineteen seventy

1058
01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:49.719
two, public domain movie that is
literally available on any horse that you get

1059
01:07:49.760 --> 01:07:53.760
nowadays. Yeah, you can find
it anywhere. I can't remember the other

1060
01:07:53.840 --> 01:07:58.639
titles for it, but they're I
feel like there was a don't title,

1061
01:07:58.679 --> 01:08:03.519
like a don't go into the sound
bloody and I. I can't remember,

1062
01:08:03.559 --> 01:08:08.280
but anyway, silent, bloody and
I and you're looking at I could find

1063
01:08:08.320 --> 01:08:11.039
it. A man inherits a mansion
which once has a mental home. He

1064
01:08:11.119 --> 01:08:14.519
visits the place and begins to investigate
some crimes that happened in old times,

1065
01:08:14.559 --> 01:08:18.239
scaring the people living in that region. This is essentially a haunted house story

1066
01:08:18.239 --> 01:08:21.000
in a town that wants nothing to
do with this house anymore, is going

1067
01:08:21.079 --> 01:08:24.920
in to do whatever they can to
get people to stop going in it.

1068
01:08:24.960 --> 01:08:28.239
Basically, yeah, no, that's
a good way to describe it. It

1069
01:08:28.279 --> 01:08:31.359
has a has an opening that you
won't forget because literally you meet your characters

1070
01:08:31.359 --> 01:08:35.039
and then they die in bed via
a really vicious axe murger that I'm surprised

1071
01:08:35.159 --> 01:08:40.880
got released. A Yeah, it's
it's vicious, super vicious and it's also

1072
01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:45.039
just a really eerie movie. You
don't really have any idea what's going to

1073
01:08:45.079 --> 01:08:47.159
be going on until like the last
ten minutes when you get the flashback information.

1074
01:08:47.640 --> 01:08:53.119
But you have a really good performance
as well from John Carradine as a

1075
01:08:53.199 --> 01:08:56.600
mute that kind of steals the movie
in any shots he's in as well.

1076
01:08:56.720 --> 01:09:00.560
Yeah, No, he's phenomenal in
its phenomenal in it. Enrique actually did

1077
01:09:00.560 --> 01:09:02.840
this one for a special episode of
Popcorn Fodder a while back, and that

1078
01:09:02.920 --> 01:09:05.760
was when I kind of rediscovered how
much I really do enjoy this one.

1079
01:09:05.800 --> 01:09:11.720
It's a really interesting watch and one
that's not talked about enough and has a

1080
01:09:11.720 --> 01:09:14.600
lot of Christmas to it as well. Yeah, it's kind of underrated in

1081
01:09:14.640 --> 01:09:15.720
a lot of ways, I would
say. Yeah, nineteen seventy two,

1082
01:09:15.800 --> 01:09:19.119
Sun Night, Bloody and Night.
Get it wherever you can find any public

1083
01:09:19.119 --> 01:09:23.960
domain. It's gonna be anywhere movies
are because nobody owns the rights to it

1084
01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:26.720
now, so it just gets published
everywhere. Two be's probably the best place

1085
01:09:26.720 --> 01:09:29.520
to grab it. Yeah, for
free, Sun Night, Bloody Night,

1086
01:09:29.560 --> 01:09:32.000
nineteen seventy two, one that definitely
could use some more eyes on it.

1087
01:09:32.039 --> 01:09:35.920
A lot of fun Moving up the
list All through the House twenty fifteen and

1088
01:09:36.079 --> 01:09:42.479
Indie that we discovered several years ago
and has become a one that we've gone

1089
01:09:42.520 --> 01:09:44.800
back to several times. Actually,
I think we actually had it for one

1090
01:09:44.800 --> 01:09:46.239
of your Christmas parties. That was
the final movie. Yeah, that was,

1091
01:09:46.279 --> 01:09:48.479
I mean, because that's been a
big thing with my Christmas parties as

1092
01:09:48.560 --> 01:09:53.159
we do a midnight scary movie.
Yeah, and that movie, I mean,

1093
01:09:53.359 --> 01:09:57.880
it's worthy of infamy. Deranged mass
sanak Slayer comes to town for some

1094
01:09:58.000 --> 01:10:00.520
Yule Tide terror. He leaves behind
a bloody t mutilated bodies as he hunts

1095
01:10:00.520 --> 01:10:03.560
his way to the front steps of
the town's most feared and notorious home.

1096
01:10:04.520 --> 01:10:11.680
What the synopsis fails to leave out
of this is that when it says a

1097
01:10:11.720 --> 01:10:16.880
bloody trail of mutilated bodies, this
Santa specifically is chopping off dis Yeah.

1098
01:10:16.960 --> 01:10:24.960
He is castrating people. Yeah,
and uh it is. It's a nasty

1099
01:10:24.960 --> 01:10:28.359
little flick. It's a nasty little
flick has some very vicious kills in it,

1100
01:10:28.399 --> 01:10:31.840
as we've was just illustrated beautifully.
But the Christmas surrounding of this,

1101
01:10:32.079 --> 01:10:35.840
you go to a house at one
point that is just Christmas has puked up

1102
01:10:35.880 --> 01:10:40.640
all over it. Yeah. No, the decorations are great. It's got

1103
01:10:40.680 --> 01:10:43.680
a lot of great Christmas music in
it. Yeah, it's it's a solid

1104
01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:46.960
Christmas slasher. It is not trying
to be anything. It's not. It's

1105
01:10:47.039 --> 01:10:50.800
just a nasty fun ride. Yeah, it's a It's a lot of fun.

1106
01:10:51.039 --> 01:10:56.039
You get to have some interactions with
some great characters, some of which

1107
01:10:56.039 --> 01:10:59.239
have some really great one liners.
I know Enrique's favorite is there's a grandma

1108
01:10:59.319 --> 01:11:02.119
in it that's in a whe chair
that just has no problem saying, what's

1109
01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:04.720
ever's on her mind? Oh man, no, I love that part.

1110
01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:10.920
Yeah. All Through the House twenty
fifteen, currently available on Free v Plex,

1111
01:11:10.960 --> 01:11:14.680
Pluto Prime Video. Also a pretty
cheap Blu ray if I remember correctly.

1112
01:11:15.399 --> 01:11:17.319
Definitely one. If you have not
seen, check it out because you

1113
01:11:17.399 --> 01:11:20.720
have no idea where this movie's going
or where it ends up at. And

1114
01:11:20.840 --> 01:11:25.479
also has a really creepy Santa mask
in it too. Yeah no, the

1115
01:11:25.520 --> 01:11:29.239
Santa mask alone is worth the price
of admission. No, it's definitely worth

1116
01:11:29.279 --> 01:11:31.560
it. Going up the list are
second to last in the underrated category.

1117
01:11:31.760 --> 01:11:36.600
Anna and the Apocalypse twenty seventeen.
I have not seen this, but people

1118
01:11:36.640 --> 01:11:42.800
keep recommending it Anna. The Apocalypse
was one that snuck up on me because

1119
01:11:42.920 --> 01:11:46.079
it was it was a Christmas I'm
guessing in twenty seventeen. I was just

1120
01:11:46.119 --> 01:11:50.039
going through probably Voodoo at the time, and it was all the new releases

1121
01:11:50.039 --> 01:11:53.399
for that, but I think it
was also the new releases for Christmas.

1122
01:11:53.399 --> 01:11:56.000
And I see this one in here. That's a zombie horror film. A

1123
01:11:56.119 --> 01:11:59.760
zombie apocalypse threatens the sleepy town a
Little Haven at Christmas, forcing Anna in

1124
01:11:59.760 --> 01:12:02.119
herds to fight, slash, and
sing their way to survival. Yes,

1125
01:12:02.199 --> 01:12:06.399
this is a musical about the end
of the world at Christmas time in London.

1126
01:12:06.600 --> 01:12:12.039
And there's so many good things that
I can say about this movie,

1127
01:12:12.039 --> 01:12:15.880
one of which being that the songs
have no business being as fucking good as

1128
01:12:15.920 --> 01:12:18.520
they are. Oh really. It
has a really great soundtrack to it,

1129
01:12:18.640 --> 01:12:23.720
a lot of likable characters, a
lot of great zombie action in it too.

1130
01:12:23.760 --> 01:12:27.319
At one point, one of my
favorite moments of this is the day

1131
01:12:27.319 --> 01:12:30.479
that the apocalypse hits. Anna's just
is in a great mood, going about

1132
01:12:30.479 --> 01:12:32.520
her day and doing like a whole
music number. Meanwhile, people are being

1133
01:12:32.520 --> 01:12:35.600
eaten by zombies around her. There's
fires going up everywhere, and She's just

1134
01:12:35.640 --> 01:12:40.880
not missing a beat going with this
song. There's so many zombie fights in

1135
01:12:40.920 --> 01:12:45.319
it, with Christmas, with Christmas
props like giant candy canes and stuff.

1136
01:12:46.199 --> 01:12:51.199
It's just a really sweet, fun
and pretty memorable flick. I mean,

1137
01:12:51.640 --> 01:12:55.720
Anna the Apocalypse is one that I
recommend to a lot of people now because

1138
01:12:56.039 --> 01:12:59.439
it kind of was hard to find
for a bit until it got released digitally,

1139
01:12:59.439 --> 01:13:01.359
and even phys it was only available
on DVD. Now, with the

1140
01:13:01.399 --> 01:13:05.920
popularity it's getting, it's getting more
releases and one that you really just don't

1141
01:13:05.920 --> 01:13:11.000
expect to be as fun and genuinely
Christmas as it is. Okay, no,

1142
01:13:11.119 --> 01:13:15.000
I it's been suggested to be for
the last three Christmases and I keep

1143
01:13:15.039 --> 01:13:15.960
not getting around to it. I
need to. I need to give it

1144
01:13:15.960 --> 01:13:20.119
a shot. You would probably benefit
it from right now, especially it would

1145
01:13:20.159 --> 01:13:23.279
moost your mood a lot. It's
oh, thanks, so what you say

1146
01:13:23.319 --> 01:13:24.840
I'm in a bad mood? You? Fuck? Yeah? I mean you

1147
01:13:24.880 --> 01:13:30.800
could be eah yeah, dick Ken
All right, moving up the list.

1148
01:13:30.880 --> 01:13:33.359
So that was twenty seventeen. Anna
and the Apocalypse twenty seventeen, available on

1149
01:13:33.399 --> 01:13:36.560
Shutter and AMC Plus. Right now, we are going to go to the

1150
01:13:36.600 --> 01:13:42.199
final underrated and once again I'm just
gonna say, do you even movie really

1151
01:13:42.239 --> 01:13:46.079
really has a great episode on this
coming out soon. Mercy Christmas twenty seventeen.

1152
01:13:46.279 --> 01:13:51.880
I love Mercy Christmas. That's one
of my favorite discoveries in the realm

1153
01:13:51.920 --> 01:13:59.880
of Christmas horror is the film Mercy
Christmas. Phenomenal movie, mean spirited,

1154
01:14:00.079 --> 01:14:04.079
pitch black humor, but super super
good, super well done, super satisfying.

1155
01:14:04.199 --> 01:14:08.319
Yeah, we talked at length about
this on our episode, so if

1156
01:14:08.560 --> 01:14:11.199
by the time this is out,
that episode is available. If not,

1157
01:14:11.359 --> 01:14:14.000
just wait for it. But we
go into lengths about our love for Mercy

1158
01:14:14.039 --> 01:14:18.119
Christmas. The essential story is you
have a very hard working but Christmas loving

1159
01:14:18.159 --> 01:14:23.960
guy who unfortunately gets an invitation to
a Christmas dinner that is a family of

1160
01:14:23.960 --> 01:14:27.920
cannibals, and now he has to
figure out how he's gonna survive that.

1161
01:14:28.520 --> 01:14:30.720
Meanwhile, they are trying to break
his Christmas spirit. In every point,

1162
01:14:30.760 --> 01:14:35.319
you meet some interesting characters, you
meet a terrible family that also that has

1163
01:14:35.319 --> 01:14:40.199
some great one liners as well.
So much Christmas in this movie, and

1164
01:14:40.319 --> 01:14:43.880
just by the end of it,
you are cheering because of how great a

1165
01:14:43.920 --> 01:14:45.640
time you've had, and also just
the character arc in this moe. Yeah,

1166
01:14:45.640 --> 01:14:48.600
the characters, there's no wasted motion. All the characters are really well

1167
01:14:48.640 --> 01:14:53.880
developed. The story is really good
and matters. Yeah, and I just

1168
01:14:53.920 --> 01:14:58.840
love this movie. I will evangelize
Mercy Christmas for as long as people will

1169
01:14:58.880 --> 01:15:01.439
listen. Yeah, Mercy Chris SMSs
twenty seventeen. It is available on free

1170
01:15:01.520 --> 01:15:05.199
v Plex, Pluto two B.
Basically you can find it anywhere if there

1171
01:15:05.279 --> 01:15:11.760
is one off this list that if
you want the ultimate Christmas suggestion further horror

1172
01:15:11.840 --> 01:15:15.560
this year, Mercy Christmas needs more
eyes and people to see it. It's

1173
01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:19.239
such a great flick. Yeah,
damn good film. Don't go away,

1174
01:15:19.880 --> 01:15:28.359
weekly spooky, We'll be right back. So that is going to end us

1175
01:15:28.359 --> 01:15:30.920
for the underrated. We are moving
into the final and last category. This

1176
01:15:31.039 --> 01:15:36.560
is the final and final and lost. Okay, Christmas Eve favorites Now,

1177
01:15:36.640 --> 01:15:41.680
this is basically what I did last
time with the Halloween. This is you

01:15:41.680 --> 01:15:45.199
know, it's Christmas Eve, You've
gotten your presence wrapped, everything's done,

1179
01:15:45.359 --> 01:15:47.199
You've maybe got maybe got a glasses
scotch or some eggnog, and you're just

1180
01:15:47.239 --> 01:15:51.159
sitting down and you want to watch
something that's a great Christmas horror this is

1181
01:15:51.279 --> 01:15:56.640
your top picks for this season,
starting off with twenty twenty two's Christmas,

1182
01:15:56.680 --> 01:16:00.680
Bloody Christmas. Enrique and I got
the chance to see this theater. Yes

1183
01:16:00.760 --> 01:16:03.479
we did, Yes we did.
And this now I'm gonna stress this.

1184
01:16:03.880 --> 01:16:08.600
If you are not a Joe Begos
fan in regards to his films, like

1185
01:16:09.159 --> 01:16:14.319
I mean, you've got VFW,
You've got Bliss, almost human. He

1186
01:16:14.640 --> 01:16:17.159
is a director that has no problem
with the fucks, no problem with the

1187
01:16:17.159 --> 01:16:21.600
gore, no problem with the chaotic
camera. Christmas Buddy, Christmas is a

1188
01:16:21.560 --> 01:16:26.600
one hundred percent of his film,
and it is a Christmas Eve story and

1189
01:16:26.640 --> 01:16:29.960
Tory just wants to get drunken party, but when a robotic Santa Claus at

1190
01:16:29.960 --> 01:16:32.600
a nearby toy store goes haywire and
begins a rampant killing spree through her small

1191
01:16:32.640 --> 01:16:35.840
town, she is forced into battle
for survival. If you've ever wondered what

1192
01:16:35.960 --> 01:16:41.359
Silent at Deadly Knight and Terminator would
look like cross together Christmas Bloody Christmas,

1193
01:16:41.439 --> 01:16:44.119
Yeah, that's a fair assessment.
It's a it's a ridiculous movie. If

1194
01:16:44.159 --> 01:16:45.600
you're not into indie films, you
won't be able to dig on it.

1195
01:16:45.720 --> 01:16:49.640
Yeah, because the first half,
why they build up the characters is very

1196
01:16:49.680 --> 01:16:54.960
indie movie, very indie movie.
But the ending, the last twenty minutes

1197
01:16:55.039 --> 01:17:00.920
is unbelievable. Yeah, it's it
is one that I was super amped for

1198
01:17:00.199 --> 01:17:02.479
and when we saw it in theaters
it was still a good time. My

1199
01:17:02.560 --> 01:17:05.439
biggest takeaway from this and I'm just
gonna say this here I think I've already

1200
01:17:05.479 --> 01:17:09.760
said it too. Uh. If
you don't like the word fuck, this

1201
01:17:09.800 --> 01:17:13.000
movie is gonna tire you out on
it. Yeah, there's a lot of

1202
01:17:13.039 --> 01:17:15.279
swear. There's a lot of swearing. There's a lot of character build up

1203
01:17:15.279 --> 01:17:19.680
that you may or may not be
into. Pop culture nerd stuff a bunch

1204
01:17:19.760 --> 01:17:24.720
throughout this, But overall this is
a pretty fun one and you are going

1205
01:17:24.760 --> 01:17:28.359
to see some shit you never thought
you would see from a robotic killer Santa

1206
01:17:28.439 --> 01:17:30.680
movie. I mean there's a sentence, there's a sentence. Indeed, twenty

1207
01:17:30.720 --> 01:17:34.119
twenty two Christms Buddy Christmas available right
now in AMC Plus and Shutter You can

1208
01:17:34.159 --> 01:17:38.199
get the blue ray pretty easily as
well. That is one to check out

1209
01:17:38.359 --> 01:17:41.880
moving up the list. This is
one that I show or that I that

1210
01:17:41.960 --> 01:17:44.840
I suggested either last year or the
year before. I can't remember when it

1211
01:17:44.880 --> 01:17:48.279
was, but this is Silent Night
from twenty twenty one. This is the

1212
01:17:48.319 --> 01:17:54.199
really sad movie. Yes, the
really really sad movie. The unspeakably sad,

1213
01:17:54.399 --> 01:17:58.760
unspeakably sad films. Oh god,
when we say horror in this take

1214
01:17:58.800 --> 01:18:02.119
of Silent Night, this this sees
horror in regards to how much this film

1215
01:18:02.199 --> 01:18:04.960
is gonna grab your heart and just
rip it into peace. So this is

1216
01:18:05.000 --> 01:18:12.319
about absolute, unrelenting terror. Neil
Suman, Tail Simon, and their three

1217
01:18:12.319 --> 01:18:15.760
sons are ready to welcome friends and
family for what promises to be a perfect

1218
01:18:15.800 --> 01:18:18.840
Christmas gathering. Perfect except for the
one thing. Everyone is going to die.

1219
01:18:18.920 --> 01:18:23.359
That is the synopsis of this movie. What is going on in Silent

1220
01:18:23.479 --> 01:18:27.119
Night is you have a final gathering
of a family for Christmas because there is

1221
01:18:27.199 --> 01:18:30.920
a wave of some virus that is
sweeping through the nation and they all have

1222
01:18:31.039 --> 01:18:33.600
basically account done as to when it's
gonna hit it and the end of the

1223
01:18:33.600 --> 01:18:38.399
world is happening, So they're gonna
have one final Christmas and in doing so,

1224
01:18:38.439 --> 01:18:41.399
they're also going to poison each and
every one of them to make sure

1225
01:18:41.399 --> 01:18:45.359
that they don't have any pain once
the storm hits. Yeah, Silent Night

1226
01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:51.960
features amazing performances by Kierra Knightley Matthew
Good. It is directed by Camille Griffin.

1227
01:18:53.479 --> 01:18:56.199
This was one that was a big
hit at festivals. Not a lot

1228
01:18:56.279 --> 01:18:58.960
of people have talked about this movie. It kind of came out a little

1229
01:18:59.239 --> 01:19:02.239
quietly last It's the most feel bad
movie I've ever yet. I mean,

1230
01:19:02.279 --> 01:19:06.239
I liked it. Ye like it. It's not fun, It's not funny.

1231
01:19:06.319 --> 01:19:13.159
It's just so soul crushing. It
is really really great performances, dark

1232
01:19:13.399 --> 01:19:15.960
as dark can get. There may
be some humor mixed in there here and

1233
01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:18.920
there, but my god, this
is one that if you're wanting to be

1234
01:19:19.000 --> 01:19:24.279
like, Okay, Christmas can't hurt
me, you want to bet yeah you.

1235
01:19:24.600 --> 01:19:28.880
Silent Night twenty twenty one currently available
on Shutter and AMC Plus. Again

1236
01:19:29.039 --> 01:19:32.800
make sure you have the lightest possible
watch like maybe the old rankin Bass Christmas

1237
01:19:32.840 --> 01:19:36.960
specials after this one. Yeah,
you're gonna want to watch Frosty the Snowman.

1238
01:19:38.119 --> 01:19:41.399
Yeah, moving up the list.
One of the newest on the list,

1239
01:19:41.399 --> 01:19:44.640
if not the newest. It's a
wonderful knife from twenty twenty three.

1240
01:19:44.880 --> 01:19:48.079
We actually got the pleasure to see
this in theaters last week and This is

1241
01:19:48.159 --> 01:19:54.520
the new Christmas horror film that Shutter
has gotten. Uh. It is eighth.

1242
01:19:54.600 --> 01:19:57.720
It is a remake essentially of It's
a Wonderful Life. But I wasn't

1243
01:19:57.760 --> 01:20:00.840
expect I wasn't. They were just
using a funny time the same, but

1244
01:20:00.880 --> 01:20:03.239
it's no. It's very much a
slasher movie. It's a wonderful light yet,

1245
01:20:03.279 --> 01:20:05.760
which I love. It's a Wonderful
Life. After saving her town from

1246
01:20:05.760 --> 01:20:10.359
a psychonic killer, Winnie Carruther's life
is less than wonderful. When she wishes

1247
01:20:10.359 --> 01:20:14.279
she'd never been born. She finds
herself in a nightmare parallel universe where without

1248
01:20:14.279 --> 01:20:17.680
her things could go much much worse. This is a small town story that

1249
01:20:17.720 --> 01:20:20.479
she stops a serial killer, and
that is the opening of the movie.

1250
01:20:20.520 --> 01:20:25.279
Than she has a terrible Christmas the
next day, wishes that things work next

1251
01:20:25.359 --> 01:20:30.000
year, next year. Yeah,
wishes that things were the things didn't go

1252
01:20:30.079 --> 01:20:31.920
back the way they did. She
wishes she didn't exist, just like in

1253
01:20:32.000 --> 01:20:36.800
It's a Wonderful Life. Yeah,
justin long performance with probably Oh my god,

1254
01:20:36.840 --> 01:20:42.960
his teeth in this movie and contact
lenses and stuff is Joel McHale's in

1255
01:20:43.039 --> 01:20:45.520
it. This is a this is
a comedy. It's a horror film.

1256
01:20:45.680 --> 01:20:49.439
It's really well done. In my
opinion, I thought it was a lot

1257
01:20:49.520 --> 01:20:53.680
of fun. It goes places you
don't expect it to, but also just

1258
01:20:53.760 --> 01:20:57.720
has really good character arcs as well
with it really good for just a quick

1259
01:20:57.720 --> 01:21:00.840
throw on eighty seven minutes, You're
in and out. It is now available

1260
01:21:00.840 --> 01:21:02.920
on shutter. It's a Wonderful Knife, a little good slasher if you are

1261
01:21:02.920 --> 01:21:06.199
looking for a new holiday slasher.
This is in the same vein as like

1262
01:21:06.319 --> 01:21:10.960
Freaky and Happy Death Day. To
me, yeah, no, I would.

1263
01:21:11.079 --> 01:21:14.359
I would say that's a good combination
or good comparison. Rather available right

1264
01:21:14.399 --> 01:21:15.960
now on Shutter. It's a Wonderful
Knife. Twenty twenty three, Make sure

1265
01:21:16.000 --> 01:21:18.800
you check it out. It is
a fun one. Next we are going

1266
01:21:18.840 --> 01:21:23.560
to do a cheat, which I
already approved of Enrique, because this movie

1267
01:21:23.600 --> 01:21:28.079
fucking kicks ass and also is just
a great Christmas movie in itself. Twenty

1268
01:21:28.119 --> 01:21:31.640
twenty two's Violent Night with David Harbor. I mean, I think that that's

1269
01:21:31.720 --> 01:21:35.439
less of a stretch than Ice White
shut there is that there is the reason

1270
01:21:35.479 --> 01:21:39.439
that Violent Knight's included on here is
because it's exactly what it says in the

1271
01:21:39.439 --> 01:21:43.159
title. This is a very violent
movie. When it comes to graphic violence,

1272
01:21:43.239 --> 01:21:47.000
there's everything from guns to sledgehammers,
to ice sickles to chainsaws. It's

1273
01:21:47.079 --> 01:21:51.479
die hard, but Santa is John
McClain. When a group of mercenaries attacked

1274
01:21:51.479 --> 01:21:55.840
the estate of a wealthy family,
Santa Claus must step in and save the

1275
01:21:55.920 --> 01:22:00.000
day and Christmas. David Harbor plays
the Santa Claus, who you find out

1276
01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:04.319
as a freaking Viking for one that
is fucking awesome. I love this movie.

1277
01:22:04.880 --> 01:22:11.000
The family head is played by Beverly
DiAngelo and the Alan Rickman terrorist type

1278
01:22:11.039 --> 01:22:15.000
is played by John Leguizamo. In
this it is absolutely everything you could want

1279
01:22:15.039 --> 01:22:19.680
from a die hard with Santa Claus. Yeah, I mean it's just a

1280
01:22:19.720 --> 01:22:24.439
Santa Claus. I mean it's the
closest thing to the Knight the Reindeer Died.

1281
01:22:24.800 --> 01:22:27.279
It really is. No, this
is the closest you're gonna get to

1282
01:22:27.279 --> 01:22:30.560
that. This is directed by Tommy
Wacola, who also did a movie that

1283
01:22:30.600 --> 01:22:32.399
I want to shout out. He
was the writer on Dead Snow Too.

1284
01:22:32.439 --> 01:22:35.399
But there is a movie on Netflix
right now that came out in twenty twenty

1285
01:22:35.399 --> 01:22:40.000
one called The Trip that he did
and if you are looking for a really

1286
01:22:40.000 --> 01:22:43.439
good thriller that goes places you a
don't expect it to be. You cannot

1287
01:22:43.439 --> 01:22:45.520
predict and see you will have no
idea what's going on. At one point

1288
01:22:45.520 --> 01:22:49.359
in the movie, The Trip is
so much fun you I think you recommended

1289
01:22:49.359 --> 01:22:51.439
it to me. Oh wait,
The Trip. That's the one with a

1290
01:22:51.479 --> 01:22:55.920
couple that go on their honeymoon.
Oh my god, that's an amazing movie.

1291
01:22:56.119 --> 01:22:58.600
Yeah, no, that's an incredible
movie. He's the director of Sion.

1292
01:22:58.760 --> 01:23:02.039
Yeah, that night. Great film. The Trip. Violent Knight currently

1293
01:23:02.079 --> 01:23:06.159
available basically anywhere you can find your
Blu rays, but also streaming for free

1294
01:23:06.199 --> 01:23:10.399
on Prime right now at this recording
in the US twenty twenty two. David

1295
01:23:10.399 --> 01:23:14.199
Harbor is amazing. As Sanna,
you will probably not ever want it.

1296
01:23:14.520 --> 01:23:16.600
You'll probably always want to include this
in your Christmas line up from this point

1297
01:23:16.600 --> 01:23:20.199
on because I was so blown away
by David Harbor. For those who don't

1298
01:23:20.199 --> 01:23:25.239
realize, he was the Cop and
Share and Stranger Things, Hopper and Stranger

1299
01:23:25.239 --> 01:23:28.600
Things. So that is Violent Night
twenty twenty two. Moving up the list,

1300
01:23:28.720 --> 01:23:30.880
we are going back to the one
that started it all, Silent Night,

1301
01:23:30.960 --> 01:23:34.319
Deadly Night Part two in this one, so this is the sequel to

1302
01:23:34.359 --> 01:23:38.720
Silent at Deadly Night, which if
you don't feel like watching Silent at Deadly

1303
01:23:38.800 --> 01:23:41.720
Night good news. If you watch
too, you get both. Yeah,

1304
01:23:41.760 --> 01:23:45.560
I mean you get an abridged Silent
I Deadly Night and then all the ridiculous

1305
01:23:45.640 --> 01:23:48.039
stuff they added with Silent I Deadly
Night too. I mean, I love

1306
01:23:48.079 --> 01:23:51.119
Silent I Deadly Night, and I
love Silent A Deadly Night too. I

1307
01:23:51.159 --> 01:23:57.359
will admit as a devotee of Silent
Night Deadly Night. Yeah, you lose

1308
01:23:57.399 --> 01:24:00.960
a lot of what makes Silent Night
Deadly Night special when you watch too watch

1309
01:24:00.039 --> 01:24:03.760
two, so I don't consider it
one or the other. No, but

1310
01:24:03.760 --> 01:24:06.399
but I do agree. I mean
it's the greatest hits of the first one.

1311
01:24:06.479 --> 01:24:12.640
And then some crazy stuff. In
that part, the now adult Ricky

1312
01:24:12.720 --> 01:24:15.439
talks to a psychiatrist about how he
became a murderer after his brother Billy died,

1313
01:24:15.479 --> 01:24:19.600
which leads back to Mother Superior.
So this is Ricky, the brother

1314
01:24:19.680 --> 01:24:23.800
of Billy, who has now grown
all is now all grown up, and

1315
01:24:23.880 --> 01:24:27.960
he has been locked up because he
went on a rampage, and you may

1316
01:24:28.039 --> 01:24:30.600
or may not get to watch him
break out towards the end, and Donna

1317
01:24:30.640 --> 01:24:34.119
Santa Suit and go right after Mother
Superior and of course I mean you've got

1318
01:24:34.119 --> 01:24:40.840
your garbage days. It's a movie
that was a that had memes before memes

1319
01:24:40.920 --> 01:24:43.960
existed. Yeah, there were memes
about this film. Yeah, soil A

1320
01:24:43.960 --> 01:24:48.479
Deadly Knight Part two nineteen eighty seven. This is absolutely I think you know

1321
01:24:48.560 --> 01:24:51.760
this. This is one that you
really need to see, even if you've

1322
01:24:51.760 --> 01:24:56.479
seen someone at Deadly Night because just
that stuff included in Oh no is absolutely

1323
01:24:56.640 --> 01:25:00.000
two's out of its damn mind so
silent Deadly Knight to currently have on shutter

1324
01:25:00.039 --> 01:25:03.479
AMC plus, FREEB and Plex.
Definitely one. If you are a fan

1325
01:25:03.520 --> 01:25:06.560
asiland Deadlinit and haven't seen the second
one, it is time to make that

1326
01:25:06.680 --> 01:25:10.479
change. Moving up the list,
we are gonna go to two thousand and

1327
01:25:10.520 --> 01:25:14.479
five with one of my personal favorites
that has watched every single year. I

1328
01:25:14.520 --> 01:25:17.239
do not recall a time I haven't
watched this for the past like probably ten

1329
01:25:17.319 --> 01:25:24.680
Christmases. Santa Slay starring Goldberg himself, Bill Goldberg as a psycho Santa.

1330
01:25:24.760 --> 01:25:28.159
Oh, I think you're gonna be
like whoop bee Goldberg. Santa Slay is

1331
01:25:28.199 --> 01:25:31.000
one that's grown on me. But
you have always been devoted to I just

1332
01:25:31.039 --> 01:25:34.680
love Santa Sleay. Santa Slay.
Santa Claus is actually a demon who lost

1333
01:25:34.680 --> 01:25:38.560
a bet with an angel, so
he becomes the giver of toys and happiness,

1334
01:25:38.600 --> 01:25:41.079
but when the bet is off,
he returns to his evil ways.

1335
01:25:41.439 --> 01:25:45.680
Santa Slay has not only some of
the most amazing kills that Santa Claus has

1336
01:25:45.720 --> 01:25:50.279
ever done on film, but it
also just has no mercy and no seriousness

1337
01:25:50.319 --> 01:25:55.239
about itself. Everything in this movie
is up to a degree, I mean

1338
01:25:55.279 --> 01:25:58.600
of absurdity. I would expect a
certain degree of seriousness from a film that

1339
01:25:58.640 --> 01:26:04.119
features Chris Catan in the opening with
James Kahan, fran Tresher, Rebecca Gayheart,

1340
01:26:04.640 --> 01:26:09.159
and they're like, the opening of
this movie is a Christmas dinner with

1341
01:26:09.199 --> 01:26:12.840
a family that hates each other.
Yes, and then Sannah busts through the

1342
01:26:12.840 --> 01:26:16.560
fireplace and just kills all of them. But I gotta say my favorite thing

1343
01:26:16.600 --> 01:26:19.279
about Santa's Sleigh. I'm not a
huge fan of s I mean, I

1344
01:26:19.359 --> 01:26:23.119
like it, but I'm not like, I'm not devoted to it like you

1345
01:26:23.159 --> 01:26:26.800
are. But I will say my
favorite thing in the world is just the

1346
01:26:26.960 --> 01:26:31.640
concept that Sanna lost a bed to
an angel. So the reason he's known

1347
01:26:31.680 --> 01:26:35.840
as the gift giver is because he's
been begrudgingly doing it for thousands, yeah,

1348
01:26:35.960 --> 01:26:39.720
a thousand years whatever, So it's
like and now that's over, back

1349
01:26:39.760 --> 01:26:44.520
to killing. That to me is
just such a brilliant idea. I love

1350
01:26:44.560 --> 01:26:46.800
that you get to see Sanna have
a rampage in a strip club. You

1351
01:26:46.840 --> 01:26:51.479
get to see Sannah literally kill Dave
Folly at one point, who's a piece

1352
01:26:51.479 --> 01:26:55.920
of shit. Prese doesn't literally kill
Dave Folly day fully's still alive, David,

1353
01:26:55.920 --> 01:26:59.079
what did you know? What I
mean? He blows up kids with

1354
01:26:59.119 --> 01:27:00.960
gifts to where like one of my
favorite scenes are these kids, These these

1355
01:27:01.000 --> 01:27:05.439
asshole shit kids are literally on Christmas
Morning. They're like, can we open

1356
01:27:05.439 --> 01:27:09.680
our fucking presents now? And the
mom's like sure, so the kid's gonna

1357
01:27:09.720 --> 01:27:12.520
open them and they just blow up. And then they cut to the grandmother

1358
01:27:12.560 --> 01:27:15.760
and she's like fuck yeah. Now. There's a lot to like. There's

1359
01:27:16.000 --> 01:27:19.359
a lot to like in Santa Sleigh, and it has become a way more

1360
01:27:19.399 --> 01:27:23.760
available than the DVD. You can
watch it now on listen to this,

1361
01:27:24.079 --> 01:27:30.319
Bravo, E, NBC Sci Fi. It looks like it's also available to

1362
01:27:30.399 --> 01:27:32.880
run on Prime and Voodoo Santa Slay
two thousand and five. You have no

1363
01:27:32.960 --> 01:27:36.640
idea what you're getting into, but
you're not gonna be upset about it.

1364
01:27:36.399 --> 01:27:40.880
It has literally a part where Grandpa
gets ran over by a reindeer and he

1365
01:27:40.960 --> 01:27:43.399
says it, I mean, well, I mean that's supposed to be Grandma

1366
01:27:43.479 --> 01:27:46.159
in the original song. Change.
So moving up the list, let's go

1367
01:27:46.199 --> 01:27:51.680
with another insane classic, nineteen ninety
seven's Jack Frost Revenge of the Mutant Killer

1368
01:27:51.680 --> 01:27:57.920
Snowman. I'm one pissed off snow
Cone. Jack Frost is the story of

1369
01:27:57.960 --> 01:28:00.960
a serial killer that sensitive story,
A sensitive story. After an accident left

1370
01:28:00.960 --> 01:28:05.119
a murderer, Jack Frost dead in
genetic material, the vengeful killer returns as

1371
01:28:05.159 --> 01:28:09.560
a murderous snowman to exact his revenge
on the man who sent him to be

1372
01:28:09.600 --> 01:28:13.560
executed, that is, the head
sheriff in a town called Snowminton, which

1373
01:28:13.600 --> 01:28:16.079
is a little town off in the
mountains. And Jack Frost comes back at

1374
01:28:16.119 --> 01:28:21.960
Christmas time to wreak havoc in the
styles of making human Christmas trees with people

1375
01:28:21.960 --> 01:28:26.800
by shoving their faces into ornament boxes. Mm hmm. He pulls one guy's

1376
01:28:26.840 --> 01:28:29.720
head back so far and freezes him
by breaking his neck in a rocking chair,

1377
01:28:29.760 --> 01:28:31.800
which is the first murder that they
find that tell that something's wrong in

1378
01:28:31.840 --> 01:28:35.600
the town. You get to see
Shannon Elizabeth fuck by a snowman. I

1379
01:28:35.640 --> 01:28:40.840
mean, it's it's hinted as hinted. It's not it's not that that's what

1380
01:28:40.960 --> 01:28:43.520
happened. The carrot was gone and
that was just the way it looks.

1381
01:28:44.439 --> 01:28:47.960
This movie is just out of its
goddamn mine. It it's it's probably the

1382
01:28:48.000 --> 01:28:54.239
prototypical Christmas horror comedy. Yeah,
it's just so outrageous and fun. It

1383
01:28:54.319 --> 01:28:56.960
really is. If you haven't seen
Jack Frost, make sure you put that

1384
01:28:57.000 --> 01:29:00.600
on the list this year. This
is definitely one. That's a great beer

1385
01:29:00.640 --> 01:29:03.600
in Nacho's movie, or even just
a beer another beer movie for that matter.

1386
01:29:03.840 --> 01:29:06.640
I like that. I just literally
off the top of my head while

1387
01:29:06.640 --> 01:29:10.039
we were recording, I came up
with the beer and Nacho's v and now

1388
01:29:10.079 --> 01:29:12.680
that's a Now that's the type of
ranking. Yep, No, that's the

1389
01:29:12.680 --> 01:29:15.880
thing. It's the beer in Nacho's
index. Oh there we go. So

1390
01:29:16.039 --> 01:29:20.399
Jack Frost ninety ninety seven currently available
only to rent on Prime and Voodoo,

1391
01:29:20.399 --> 01:29:24.039
but pretty easy to find if you
want to. There's also a really great

1392
01:29:24.079 --> 01:29:28.479
Blu ray, not only from Vincent, but MVD just recently released one as

1393
01:29:28.479 --> 01:29:31.199
well that has a bunch of bonus
features as well as the sequel, which

1394
01:29:31.279 --> 01:29:33.600
it didn't get on. The two
didn't get put on the list because I

1395
01:29:33.600 --> 01:29:36.199
think it's just pretty self explained as
where if you watch Jack Frost one,

1396
01:29:36.239 --> 01:29:40.279
you have to watch two immediately after. That's fair because he goes to the

1397
01:29:40.319 --> 01:29:44.920
Bahamas Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowmen. So that is Jack Frost ninety ninety

1398
01:29:44.960 --> 01:29:55.439
seven. Don't go away, weekly
Spooky. We'll be right back moving up

1399
01:29:55.439 --> 01:29:59.760
the list. Let's go with another
favorite of Enrique and I P two from

1400
01:29:59.760 --> 01:30:02.119
two two thousand and seven. That's
a great one, that really is,

1401
01:30:02.159 --> 01:30:06.239
and that's one that's been slowly but
surely getting more love every year. I

1402
01:30:06.279 --> 01:30:10.800
remember when it came out, it
really did get snubbed, like not like

1403
01:30:10.880 --> 01:30:13.640
nobody was really talking. I watched
it when it first came out. I

1404
01:30:13.600 --> 01:30:15.479
don't even know it was a Christmas
movie. I saw it on a vacation

1405
01:30:15.920 --> 01:30:19.880
when we were in Florida when I
was in my teens. Because all the

1406
01:30:19.920 --> 01:30:23.600
resort, the resort has all like
the premium channels, and I think it

1407
01:30:23.640 --> 01:30:26.800
was on one of the hbos or
showtimes, and I just remember being blown

1408
01:30:26.800 --> 01:30:30.479
away by how insane it gets.
P two is the story of a businesswoman

1409
01:30:30.479 --> 01:30:33.920
who is pursued by a psychopath after
being locked in a parking garage on Christmas

1410
01:30:34.000 --> 01:30:41.920
Eve. This is a prime performance
of Wes Bentley, who plays the psychopath

1411
01:30:42.079 --> 01:30:45.680
and at one point even Dons of
Santa Suit. Wes Bentley, of course

1412
01:30:45.680 --> 01:30:48.840
from American Beauty in the Hunger Games. He is so menacing in this that

1413
01:30:48.920 --> 01:30:53.399
you really just don't think he can
get any worse, and he somehow upset

1414
01:30:53.520 --> 01:30:56.560
again every time. Yeah, no, No, it's a really good example

1415
01:30:56.600 --> 01:31:00.960
of how good he is as an
actor. This you're gonna know. Maybe

1416
01:31:00.960 --> 01:31:03.520
you've noticed by now there is a
one consistent element to almost all these movies,

1417
01:31:03.520 --> 01:31:08.520
and that is that they're outrageous.
Yeah, they're completely ridiculous. Christmas

1418
01:31:08.520 --> 01:31:11.680
in Horror tends to land in that
space, Yes, it does, of

1419
01:31:11.760 --> 01:31:15.600
outrageous and crazy. Yeah, this
one though, is outrageous and crazy because

1420
01:31:15.640 --> 01:31:21.119
it's so intense. Yeah, it's
NonStop. You're either completely full of suspense

1421
01:31:21.640 --> 01:31:26.279
or it's shock and awe. Because
the action scenes are amazing. Yeah,

1422
01:31:26.600 --> 01:31:30.760
it's a very well done, taut
thriller with lots of action to keep you

1423
01:31:31.119 --> 01:31:34.359
invested. I love P two one
of the one of the best scenes to

1424
01:31:34.760 --> 01:31:39.840
give you a little taste into how
crazy it goes. She's on the elevator

1425
01:31:39.880 --> 01:31:44.439
at one point and Wes Bentley decides
to start flooding the elevator. Yeah,

1426
01:31:44.479 --> 01:31:48.000
I mean we're talking like he is. He goes to extreme lengths to make

1427
01:31:48.039 --> 01:31:51.880
sure that she doesn't leave, and
it just gets crazier and crazier. One

1428
01:31:51.880 --> 01:31:56.359
of the most satisfying endings of all
time as well too. Yeah, very

1429
01:31:56.439 --> 01:31:59.880
much, very much. P two
two thousand and seven, currently available on

1430
01:32:00.079 --> 01:32:03.159
shutter AMC plus, FREEB and Plex. Another one that hasn't escaped off a

1431
01:32:03.359 --> 01:32:06.359
DVD yet for the US at least. Yeah, that one, I don't

1432
01:32:06.359 --> 01:32:10.279
know. That's got to be ending
up on shops three or somebody. I

1433
01:32:10.279 --> 01:32:12.680
would hope so, but P two, make sure you check that one out.

1434
01:32:12.960 --> 01:32:16.560
Moving up the list, let's go
back to the crazy French films of

1435
01:32:16.960 --> 01:32:23.960
Dial Code Santa Claus aka Deadly Games
AK Paranol three six one five from nineteen

1436
01:32:24.039 --> 01:32:29.920
eighty nine. Holy fucking shit,
this movie. It's hard to describe this

1437
01:32:30.039 --> 01:32:33.920
film, it's so out of its
mind. It predates Home Alone essentially and

1438
01:32:33.960 --> 01:32:40.680
not essentially that's does Yeah Christmas Eve, a resourceful young boy has to defend

1439
01:32:40.760 --> 01:32:44.920
himself and his grandfather from a killer
dressed to Santa Claus. This is what

1440
01:32:44.960 --> 01:32:47.840
would happen if Home Alone was a
pedophile got into the house of this mansion

1441
01:32:48.319 --> 01:32:53.439
and this kid who dresses like Rambo
and plays like Rambo decides that he's going

1442
01:32:53.520 --> 01:32:56.680
to have to protect his grandfather at
all costs. Everything that you think is

1443
01:32:56.720 --> 01:33:01.319
being played for laughs is being played
dead seriously, entirely serious, even down

1444
01:33:01.359 --> 01:33:05.079
to I mean a spoiler alert when
when they stop the killer. Yeah,

1445
01:33:05.640 --> 01:33:10.039
even that is shockingly realistic. Yeah
and sad. No, it's it's one

1446
01:33:10.119 --> 01:33:14.439
hundred percent. Yeah. This movie
does not mess around this the again French

1447
01:33:14.479 --> 01:33:15.880
film. So you're thinking, oh, man, I'm like a kid,

1448
01:33:16.039 --> 01:33:18.119
like you know, doing Home Alone
to a Santa Claus. No, it

1449
01:33:18.199 --> 01:33:23.079
is all dark. One of the
one of the biggest trigger warnings I can

1450
01:33:23.119 --> 01:33:25.840
give you is there is a murder
of a pet in this movie that will

1451
01:33:26.079 --> 01:33:29.960
break your heart because of how vicious
it is when Santa arrives and also the

1452
01:33:29.960 --> 01:33:33.880
little boy carrying the dog at one
point too. But Deadly Games is one

1453
01:33:33.920 --> 01:33:39.159
that I have been recommending to everyone
because it has just recently, in the

1454
01:33:39.239 --> 01:33:43.079
last like three years, became way
more available thanks to Vinegar Syndroman Shutter,

1455
01:33:43.199 --> 01:33:46.039
an Agfa an Agfa as well you
know Genre film Archive. Yeah, it

1456
01:33:46.119 --> 01:33:49.199
is insane. It has a little
bit of everything you can want to know.

1457
01:33:49.239 --> 01:33:53.319
It's Christmas out the ass. At
one point, the little boy's mom

1458
01:33:53.479 --> 01:33:57.119
runs one of the biggest toy stores
in the in the city, and she

1459
01:33:57.239 --> 01:34:00.520
has like a whole Christmas festival going
on, So there's plenty of as there's

1460
01:34:00.560 --> 01:34:04.319
snow that you're in this mansion that
literally never ends to the point where at

1461
01:34:04.359 --> 01:34:09.960
one point you see the kid has
a toy mote. Yeah. Yeah,

1462
01:34:10.119 --> 01:34:13.840
this movie is insane. Dial Santa
Claus aka Deadley Games if you have not

1463
01:34:14.079 --> 01:34:17.359
seen it and you are looking for
something that you really just have no idea

1464
01:34:17.399 --> 01:34:21.319
where it can go. Again,
this movie is one that really just needs

1465
01:34:21.319 --> 01:34:25.600
to get more eyes on it,
and now it's availability. And the only

1466
01:34:25.640 --> 01:34:28.600
thing I want to complain about is
I hate when people try to say that

1467
01:34:28.640 --> 01:34:31.359
this movie like Home Alone, ripped
it off. Yeah. The reason I

1468
01:34:31.399 --> 01:34:35.399
hate that is because that's like,
if you're gonna claim that this movie hom

1469
01:34:35.399 --> 01:34:38.760
Alone ripped this movie off, then
you need you claim Home Alone ripped off

1470
01:34:38.760 --> 01:34:41.640
Straw of straw Dogs. You know, it's it's not, it's not.

1471
01:34:42.479 --> 01:34:47.119
It's not reinventing the wheel to have
a siege movie. Yeah, and then

1472
01:34:47.199 --> 01:34:50.680
have a kid be a part of
it. That's just well, the way

1473
01:34:50.680 --> 01:34:54.720
things develop and going back again to
the seriousness of it, the way that

1474
01:34:54.800 --> 01:34:58.600
Sanna gets into this kid's house or
even just gets notice of him is the

1475
01:34:58.680 --> 01:35:00.960
kid goes on to a can and
goes to write to Santa Claus, not

1476
01:35:01.000 --> 01:35:05.640
realizing that the guy he's talking to
is this pedophile guy. He ends up

1477
01:35:05.720 --> 01:35:10.920
killing the caretakers of the of the
property because his mom is filthy, stick

1478
01:35:10.960 --> 01:35:14.680
and rich and they've got guards and
they've got caretakers. He literally gets in

1479
01:35:14.720 --> 01:35:18.600
this house with the intent to do
some really bad shit. Yes, yeah,

1480
01:35:18.920 --> 01:35:21.920
so it is not a light one, but my god, this movie

1481
01:35:23.000 --> 01:35:25.920
is insane and again has to be
witnessed. In nineteen eighty nine Deadly Games

1482
01:35:25.960 --> 01:35:28.680
currently available on AMC Plus and Shutter. You can get a great blu ray

1483
01:35:28.720 --> 01:35:30.880
from Vinegar Syndrome as well. Actually
a four K make sure you check that

1484
01:35:30.920 --> 01:35:33.920
one out. Rounding up the list, we are gonna go up one more

1485
01:35:33.960 --> 01:35:39.319
into Crampis in twenty fifteen, because
why, how, how the hell can

1486
01:35:39.359 --> 01:35:42.359
you not include Crampis in some of
the best Christmas horror films of the last

1487
01:35:42.399 --> 01:35:46.399
decade. On Campus is an incredible
move. Crampis is the film follow up

1488
01:35:46.439 --> 01:35:51.439
to Trigger Treet from Michael Dherty.
What's that after God'silla? No? Way

1489
01:35:51.520 --> 01:35:56.239
before, Yeah, way before Crampis
from twenty fifteen, Adam Scott, Tony

1490
01:35:56.319 --> 01:35:59.479
Collette. I mean, you've got
a bunch of names in this one as

1491
01:35:59.479 --> 01:36:01.600
well. This is the story of
a boy who has a bad Christmas and

1492
01:36:01.640 --> 01:36:05.319
accidentally summons a festive demon to his
family home, is what IMDb says.

1493
01:36:05.880 --> 01:36:10.640
This is basically what happens when you
want to write a letter to Santa Claus

1494
01:36:10.720 --> 01:36:13.840
and instead you rip it up and
throw it into the air, and Crampis

1495
01:36:13.920 --> 01:36:16.159
gets it, and now he's going
to make sure your family remembers this Christmas.

1496
01:36:16.199 --> 01:36:19.039
And most of the people listening to
this probably are familiar with Crampus to

1497
01:36:19.039 --> 01:36:23.640
some extent. Yeah, yeah,
no, it's it's the best film depiction

1498
01:36:23.720 --> 01:36:26.720
of Crampus I've ever seen. Yeah, it's super fun, it's got a

1499
01:36:26.800 --> 01:36:30.720
Christmas wonder to it. Yes,
that really makes me want to watch it

1500
01:36:30.760 --> 01:36:33.840
every single year. Yep, I
adore Crampus. I saw the theater four

1501
01:36:34.439 --> 01:36:39.119
times. Wow, that was one
of those I know, I saw it

1502
01:36:39.239 --> 01:36:43.319
four times. That's how solid of
a film it is. Crampis. I

1503
01:36:43.319 --> 01:36:45.199
mean, if you're not already,
if you've never seen it, it needs

1504
01:36:45.239 --> 01:36:47.720
to be in your rotation, just
get it in then style. Yeah,

1505
01:36:47.800 --> 01:36:51.319
and it's also widely available right now
on Peacock, TBS, T and T.

1506
01:36:51.800 --> 01:36:55.239
There's also a beautiful four K that
came out a couple of years ago

1507
01:36:55.239 --> 01:36:59.479
from Shout with the actual full director's
cut that didn't get released, with a

1508
01:36:59.520 --> 01:37:02.199
really great scene between Tony Kalleehner's sister
that I cannot speak of enough. The

1509
01:37:02.239 --> 01:37:05.600
director's cut. Guys, you think
it's going to be more violent and vicious,

1510
01:37:05.640 --> 01:37:09.439
but it's actually way more characters stable, and I really enjoyed it.

1511
01:37:10.000 --> 01:37:13.760
So that is Crampus twenty fifteen going
up the list. The One, The

1512
01:37:13.880 --> 01:37:17.880
Only Silent Night, Deadly Night nineteen
eighty four. I think that that is

1513
01:37:17.920 --> 01:37:26.960
the film that truly started the consistently, the consistent release, production and release

1514
01:37:27.079 --> 01:37:30.000
of Christmas horror film probably, and
also due to the controversy they received and

1515
01:37:30.079 --> 01:37:33.720
everything. I mean, it became
notorious because of how many people were picketing

1516
01:37:33.720 --> 01:37:36.800
the film and didn't want it and
calling the people that were running the ads

1517
01:37:36.840 --> 01:37:42.239
and like expressing the anger of a
killer Santa. People were very upset at

1518
01:37:42.279 --> 01:37:45.920
the idea of Santa Claus is a
killer. So little Billy witnesses his parents

1519
01:37:45.000 --> 01:37:49.399
getting killed by Sanna after being worn
by his senile grandpa, that Sanna punishes

1520
01:37:49.439 --> 01:37:53.840
those who are naughty. Now Billy
is eighteen and out of the orphanage and

1521
01:37:53.880 --> 01:37:59.039
he has just become Sanna himself.
This is what would happen if you watched

1522
01:37:59.079 --> 01:38:01.439
Sanna rape your mind, then kill
her, shoot your dad, and then

1523
01:38:01.880 --> 01:38:04.800
you just have that trauma just exposed
to Santa Claus for the rest of your

1524
01:38:04.800 --> 01:38:08.960
life, just a regular Thursday night. Oh. Also before that, your

1525
01:38:09.000 --> 01:38:13.319
grandfather has one of the most amazing
speeches on film in film history ever.

1526
01:38:14.079 --> 01:38:16.479
Scene. No, that's the biggest
thing I think is missing from Silent Deadly

1527
01:38:16.560 --> 01:38:18.640
Knight too, is you don't get
the Grandpa's seat. You don't get Grandpa

1528
01:38:18.720 --> 01:38:21.760
seen. And it's such an amazing
scene because it's so out of left field.

1529
01:38:23.000 --> 01:38:27.239
I think that Silent I Deadly Knight
gets it, gets it doesn't get

1530
01:38:27.319 --> 01:38:30.680
enough credit because it's not just a
ridiculous slasher movie with a killer Santa.

1531
01:38:30.720 --> 01:38:36.920
It's a movie about Catholic guilt.
It's a movie about holidays and family and

1532
01:38:38.079 --> 01:38:44.079
trauma and and when people mean well
but don't do good things. It's it's

1533
01:38:44.119 --> 01:38:45.159
got a lot to it. That's
why Rachel and I are going to talk

1534
01:38:45.159 --> 01:38:49.079
about it on Cutting Deep, because
there's so much to unpack in Silent Deadly

1535
01:38:49.159 --> 01:38:51.640
Knight. And I can't believe some
people don't think it's a great film.

1536
01:38:51.840 --> 01:38:55.920
I know they think it's just,
you know, a sleazy slash slash year

1537
01:38:56.000 --> 01:38:58.800
and it's a great film. No, it absolutely is. Silent A Deadly

1538
01:38:58.840 --> 01:39:02.439
Knight is one that A the run
time is like, I think, less

1539
01:39:02.439 --> 01:39:10.000
than eighty four minutes. But b
the movie itself is the exact Christmas slasher

1540
01:39:10.079 --> 01:39:13.840
that everybody has come to know and
love, which is just somebody has shit

1541
01:39:13.920 --> 01:39:16.479
happened to them and they become a
psychosanta with it because of that traumatic happening.

1542
01:39:16.800 --> 01:39:21.199
But the human element is still throughout
the entire film, to where the

1543
01:39:21.199 --> 01:39:26.159
police procedural stuff actually kind of breaks
your heart too, even when it goes

1544
01:39:26.239 --> 01:39:30.560
into just the fact that, like
Mother Superior thinks she's doing well, she

1545
01:39:30.640 --> 01:39:34.039
thinks she's doing right, but she
is completely creating the monster that Billy becomes.

1546
01:39:35.600 --> 01:39:39.920
Silent A Deadly Knight has amazing kills, It's got some great one lighters

1547
01:39:39.920 --> 01:39:43.960
in it, and also it's just
widely loved by all the Christmas horror fans,

1548
01:39:44.000 --> 01:39:45.479
so there's no way you cannot include
it in your lineup this year.

1549
01:39:45.640 --> 01:39:49.479
Nineteen eighty four Silent at Deadly Night. Make sure if you are wanting to

1550
01:39:49.520 --> 01:39:54.359
get the best copy of it,
you track down the Shout Factory release of

1551
01:39:54.399 --> 01:39:56.680
it, because that has the full
unrated cut on it, which has all

1552
01:39:56.680 --> 01:39:59.760
the gore and everything cut back into
it in probably the best light. It's

1553
01:39:59.800 --> 01:40:02.920
better looked at so far, the
best light. It's best look. It's

1554
01:40:02.920 --> 01:40:05.680
head I don't know, it looks
great. It's one of the best editions

1555
01:40:05.720 --> 01:40:10.520
there is. Yeah, second to
last, we are gonna go back to

1556
01:40:10.640 --> 01:40:15.159
the eighties again. Nineteen eighty Christmas
Evil aka Better Watch Out. Probably my

1557
01:40:15.279 --> 01:40:19.199
favorite Christmas horror movie, yeah,
and one of my favorite Christmas movies.

1558
01:40:19.279 --> 01:40:24.920
Yeah, Christmas Evil isn't really even
a horror horror movie. It's an art

1559
01:40:24.920 --> 01:40:28.760
film, but it's an art film
about horrific things. Yeah, it's a

1560
01:40:28.760 --> 01:40:35.039
movie about a guy who legitimately wants
to become Santa Claus. But the basis

1561
01:40:35.159 --> 01:40:43.279
is in. The basis is in
trauma, just like Silent and deadly,

1562
01:40:43.319 --> 01:40:46.039
and except it's manifested in a totally
different way, totally different way. Yeah.

1563
01:40:46.119 --> 01:40:55.439
Brandon Margaret plays Harry Straley's stabling I
think sorry. He's a toy factory

1564
01:40:55.439 --> 01:40:58.720
worker, mentally scarred as a child. Upon learning Santa Claus is not real,

1565
01:40:58.800 --> 01:41:01.079
suffers a nervous breakdown after being belittled
at work, and embarks on a

1566
01:41:01.159 --> 01:41:06.000
ultide killing spree. That's not exactly, that's not accurate. He literally becomes

1567
01:41:06.000 --> 01:41:11.159
Santa Claus. Killing people is a
side effect of being Santa. Yeah,

1568
01:41:11.199 --> 01:41:14.239
that's why the movie's complicated. Yeah. Also, I want to mention that

1569
01:41:14.319 --> 01:41:16.560
the lead actor is Fiona Apple's father
mother. Yes, just think that's a

1570
01:41:16.600 --> 01:41:21.680
really wild piece of trivia. Yeah, but this movie is about a man

1571
01:41:23.279 --> 01:41:30.359
legitimately becoming Santa Claus, and that's
I don't know how else to put it.

1572
01:41:30.520 --> 01:41:35.680
So, but Santa Claus rewards good
kids punishes bad kids, rewards good

1573
01:41:35.680 --> 01:41:40.279
people, punishes bad people, and
is supposed to be loved for it.

1574
01:41:40.359 --> 01:41:43.920
Yeah, and that's what That's why
I love the film, because what it's

1575
01:41:44.000 --> 01:41:48.960
really about is a man's search to
be loved. But it gets real fucked

1576
01:41:49.000 --> 01:41:51.720
up. And it was one of
the first films to originally be called Better

1577
01:41:51.720 --> 01:41:56.520
Watch Out. A lot of movies
have used that name, and everybody thinks

1578
01:41:56.520 --> 01:42:00.600
that it's a psycho killer movie for
the Santo aspect because the original poster I'm

1579
01:42:00.640 --> 01:42:02.039
looking at it right now has Sanna
climbing in a chimney with an axe.

1580
01:42:02.119 --> 01:42:05.760
Never happens in the movie, by
the way, And also even when Synaps

1581
01:42:05.760 --> 01:42:09.760
did their copy, it was that
picture of Sanna breaking through the door with

1582
01:42:09.800 --> 01:42:13.640
a knife. This movie, like
Enrique said, is really not a horror

1583
01:42:13.640 --> 01:42:15.560
film, but my god, there
are some horrifying movie. It's a horrific

1584
01:42:15.600 --> 01:42:19.159
movie though, Yeah. Yeah.
And it's also one of those movies where

1585
01:42:19.239 --> 01:42:25.800
you have a morality tale of somebody
that deals with the same shit that you

1586
01:42:25.840 --> 01:42:29.479
do in regards of like shitty co
workers, shitty kids. It's like you're

1587
01:42:29.479 --> 01:42:31.359
going through life and you're kind of
starting to understand his break but at the

1588
01:42:31.399 --> 01:42:33.960
same time, like he's wrong the
entire time, even though he does a

1589
01:42:33.960 --> 01:42:36.800
lot of good things in the movie
too. Yeah, that's that's the complicated

1590
01:42:36.840 --> 01:42:43.159
element is he does good as Santa
as well. And it's about trauma and

1591
01:42:43.239 --> 01:42:46.039
mental illness and wanting to be loved
and being in a society you don't fit

1592
01:42:46.079 --> 01:42:49.279
into. It's a heavy movie and
that's why I love it. Yeah,

1593
01:42:49.319 --> 01:42:55.680
and the ending you will never guess. Well, I love the ending because

1594
01:42:55.680 --> 01:42:58.479
some people hate that ending so much
and I'm like, nah, nah,

1595
01:42:58.600 --> 01:43:02.600
it's perfect, perfect, perfect ending. Nineteen eighty Christmas Evil currently available on

1596
01:43:02.640 --> 01:43:06.479
AMC plus, shutter Crackle Plex.
You can find it pretty easily as well.

1597
01:43:06.479 --> 01:43:09.800
It was one of those I think
that was public domain for a little

1598
01:43:09.800 --> 01:43:12.600
bit too. It might be public
domain, but don't quote me on that.

1599
01:43:12.640 --> 01:43:15.119
I'm not an attorney. So that
is our second to last, which

1600
01:43:15.159 --> 01:43:18.239
means the final film of Christmas Eve. Oh, this is our final,

1601
01:43:18.439 --> 01:43:21.720
final, final movie. Fin Okay, I'm excited to hear what your final

1602
01:43:21.760 --> 01:43:27.159
pick is. Nineteen seventy four Black
Christmas, The Bob Clark Class. I

1603
01:43:27.239 --> 01:43:29.880
was wondering where the hell it was
gonna be. I dude, this has

1604
01:43:29.960 --> 01:43:32.399
become a Christmas Eve staple for me, like I to help you fall asleep

1605
01:43:32.439 --> 01:43:34.920
because you're so excited about next day. Yeah, yeah, no, no,

1606
01:43:35.159 --> 01:43:38.720
I love that movie, but it
is a slower movie because it's older.

1607
01:43:38.800 --> 01:43:41.840
Yeah, it's slower. Nineteen seventy
four Black Christmas. During their Christmas

1608
01:43:41.880 --> 01:43:45.680
break, a group of sorority girls
are stoked by a stranger. This has,

1609
01:43:45.760 --> 01:43:49.239
of course, the amazing cast of
Olivia Hussey, John Saxon, Margo

1610
01:43:49.399 --> 01:43:56.680
Kidder. I mean, this movie
is one that you may have seen before,

1611
01:43:56.720 --> 01:43:59.319
but if it's been a while since
you've seen Black Christmas, go back

1612
01:43:59.319 --> 01:44:02.000
to it because I think it ages
so well. I was so excited a

1613
01:44:02.039 --> 01:44:05.479
couple of years ago when Joe Bob
had it on his Christmas special. It's

1614
01:44:05.520 --> 01:44:11.920
got everything from the suspense to some
pretty gruesome kills to an amazing and hilarious

1615
01:44:11.920 --> 01:44:15.239
performance by John Saxon as well.
Yeah yeah, but also Christmas Evil or

1616
01:44:15.279 --> 01:44:19.920
I mean, Black Christmas is one
of the earliest Christmas slasher films, and

1617
01:44:19.960 --> 01:44:24.640
people kind of forget that it's one
of the earliest slasher films. Yeah,

1618
01:44:24.680 --> 01:44:29.479
slasher films because preates Halloween. Everybody
says that Carpenter ripped off Kark with that

1619
01:44:29.600 --> 01:44:34.039
opening of Billy arriving to the sorority
house. So Black Christmas. I cannot

1620
01:44:34.079 --> 01:44:38.239
say enough about this movie. It
has just a little bit of everything.

1621
01:44:38.279 --> 01:44:43.000
As I've said, You've got a
amazing performance by Olivia Hussey, especially towards

1622
01:44:43.039 --> 01:44:45.920
the last twenty minutes when the shit
really hits the fan. And also this

1623
01:44:46.000 --> 01:44:51.079
movie really just is unsettling, even
even as the credits roll, like you

1624
01:44:51.279 --> 01:44:55.239
have this end credit sequence that you're
just like, my god man, this

1625
01:44:55.279 --> 01:44:58.840
movie just kind of sticks with you. And it has Christmas out the ass,

1626
01:44:58.880 --> 01:45:01.239
and it takes place entirely Christmas and
Christmas Eve. You will not be

1627
01:45:01.319 --> 01:45:05.159
sorry Black Christmas. That is one
of my all time favorites and therefore the

1628
01:45:05.239 --> 01:45:09.880
number one for your Christmas Eve viewing. And that, my friend, well

1629
01:45:10.279 --> 01:45:13.279
hold on what you didn't let me
say anything about Black Christmas. Well,

1630
01:45:13.439 --> 01:45:17.000
one of the best things about Black
Christmas, and it cannot be said enough.

1631
01:45:17.680 --> 01:45:23.520
Remember Bob Clark directed it, and
he directed A Christmas Story. So

1632
01:45:23.560 --> 01:45:27.560
if you want to watch a family
appropriate and then when the kids go to

1633
01:45:27.600 --> 01:45:31.359
bed you bust out the horror,
just watch A Christmas Story and Black Christmas.

1634
01:45:31.880 --> 01:45:35.640
Because Bob Clark directed both and I
just think that's great. I just

1635
01:45:35.680 --> 01:45:41.840
think that because they're both films that
I think encompass a lot of the the

1636
01:45:41.880 --> 01:45:45.640
best parts of cinematic Christmas. Yeah. No, And I think Black Christmas,

1637
01:45:45.720 --> 01:45:48.239
especially to you, has that feeling
of isolation with it where it's like,

1638
01:45:48.319 --> 01:45:51.000
even though you're in you're in a
big place and there are people around

1639
01:45:51.039 --> 01:45:55.039
you, you feel completely alone.
So when the terror really hits you,

1640
01:45:55.079 --> 01:45:57.640
if you're watching this alone, like
on Christmas Eve, it can get to

1641
01:45:57.640 --> 01:46:00.880
you. No, it's a creepy
movie. I watch it once with Michelle

1642
01:46:00.000 --> 01:46:03.119
my Coast, a monthly spooky everber. I brought that with me one time

1643
01:46:03.239 --> 01:46:08.399
when I was visiting her in December. Yeah, and she was very perturbed

1644
01:46:08.439 --> 01:46:10.840
by the film. Yeah, No, it's it is an unsettling one.

1645
01:46:10.880 --> 01:46:15.640
It's a classic nineteen seventy four Black
Christmas. Available right now on shutter Crackle,

1646
01:46:15.720 --> 01:46:19.880
fandor freeby and again another one where
Shout Factory has just done a beautiful

1647
01:46:19.880 --> 01:46:23.720
four K that came out I think
last year or the year before. If

1648
01:46:23.720 --> 01:46:26.920
you're a fan of that one,
make sure you pick up that that release

1649
01:46:26.920 --> 01:46:30.199
of it, because it has never
looked better. An amazing bonus content with

1650
01:46:30.239 --> 01:46:31.840
it. One of which that I
still cannot get all the way through is

1651
01:46:32.199 --> 01:46:39.359
they have commentary as with Billy as
Billy, Yeah, Billy the Killer and

1652
01:46:39.520 --> 01:46:44.079
also obscene phone caller Yeah in the
film. Yeah. That's that's that's a

1653
01:46:44.119 --> 01:46:48.119
treat for your ears. Yeah.
So that is your Christmas horror lineup for

1654
01:46:48.159 --> 01:46:53.399
the twenty twenty three Christmas season.
That's an exhaustive horror lineup. That is

1655
01:46:53.479 --> 01:46:56.840
not just for the twenty twenty three
that's for any Christmas season, all in

1656
01:46:56.840 --> 01:46:59.159
this year alone. Oh, just
for this year. Okay, okay,

1657
01:46:59.760 --> 01:47:02.720
well fair enough. Well, David, I really do appreciate you taking the

1658
01:47:02.800 --> 01:47:06.439
time to sit down and talk about
this. Everybody had a great time with

1659
01:47:06.479 --> 01:47:10.479
your Halloween recommendations. But now you
gotta start thinking, what are you even

1660
01:47:10.520 --> 01:47:13.840
going to talk about next Halloween for
my weekly speaking audience. I'll have to

1661
01:47:13.840 --> 01:47:15.960
figure that out, but I'm very
grateful. I got a lot of comments

1662
01:47:16.000 --> 01:47:20.840
and messages from listeners, and I
really appreciate it for those who are are

1663
01:47:20.920 --> 01:47:23.880
unaware, which I don't know how
you could be. At this point,

1664
01:47:24.199 --> 01:47:28.840
Enrique and I just have wrapped up
our Freddie's Nightmares podcast. Yeah, to

1665
01:47:29.600 --> 01:47:32.960
put all our put onto a do
even movie because we knew that the end

1666
01:47:33.079 --> 01:47:36.760
was going to come for Freddy's and
we wanted to have something to fall back

1667
01:47:36.800 --> 01:47:42.319
on. And that is going to
be just a blast for you to listen

1668
01:47:42.359 --> 01:47:45.800
to. But also I'm just very
grateful that I got the messages and people

1669
01:47:45.880 --> 01:47:49.000
just telling me that they enjoyed hearing
me talk about the stuff, because I

1670
01:47:49.079 --> 01:47:55.039
just do this ship for Dave.
We're enjoying together lists of movies that are

1671
01:47:55.119 --> 01:47:58.439
tied together by certain themes. It's
something you've always been very good at.

1672
01:47:58.520 --> 01:48:01.680
Yeah, so I appreciate you giving
my audience a list of titles to think

1673
01:48:01.720 --> 01:48:05.039
about watching this holiday season. Because
remember, kids, no matter how hard

1674
01:48:05.039 --> 01:48:09.079
you're working, find a little time
for yourself. Don't be like me and

1675
01:48:09.279 --> 01:48:13.920
just work every hour of every day. But no, no, there are

1676
01:48:13.960 --> 01:48:16.520
