Great, Salvation F*cking Army!
Silent Night Mini-Review
What is not to love about Christmas movies? Especially Christmas movies that fall into the “slasher” category. There are countless slasher-themed holiday movies, with the late 70’s and early 80’s bringing some of the best. The best known holiday horror movie would more than likely be Silent Night, Deadly Night, coming at a time when mothers were against anything violent in a Christmas movie. My personal favorite pick would be the Tales From The Crypt episode, “And All Through [...]
Can’t You See That They’re Sleeping?
Dismembering Christmas Review
Out of all of the ‘throwback’ slashers that I’ve watched over the past few years, one of the more enjoyable ones was the indie gem, Don’t Go to the Reunion. Needless to say, when the same studio that brought that film to life, Slasher Studios, released news of an upcoming holiday project, I was elated. I could not wait for the next film, as I was sure it’d be another great entry in the slasher sub-genre. After months and [...]
That Was Very Unwise
A Christmas Horror Story Review
I’ve been doing this little horror film review gig for about four years now and every year around this time, I get in the mood to watch some good ol’ Christmas-themed horror flicks, naturally. It seems, however, that every year, Christmas comes and goes and sadly, I really never actually review any of the films that I have planned. Well, hopefully I can change that this year, starting with this bad boy, A Christmas Horror Story with segments directed by [...]
You Discovered Santa’s Sleigh!
Icetastrophe Review
I usually steer clear of the natural disaster horror films that make their way to the Syfy channel, but after the blast I had with last year’s Sharknado 2, I’ve changed my tune a bit. These made-for-TV films are actually upping their game a little bit and Jonathan Winfrey’s Icetastrophe proves itself as another worthy entry into the sub-genre.
It’s Christmas time and the small town of Lennox has gathered to celebrate the holiday and the changes coming in [...]
I Have Something For You
Christmas Evil Review
One of my recent reviews was of the anthology film, Tales From the Crypt, which featured a segment dealing with a psychotic killer on the loose in a Santa Clause outfit. What better way to continue that trend as we get closer to Christmas day than to review another killer Santa film. This time around, it is Lewis Jackson’s 1980 flick, Christmas Evil.

Lots of Ho, Ho, Ho
Silent Night, Deadly Night: 30th Anniversary Edition Review
By now, you all know about the love I have for slasher films. To me, one of the funnest parts of the sub-genre is that there’s a title for every and any holiday you can think of. There are slashers dealing with Halloween, Valentine’s Day, New Years Eve, Mother’s Day, and anything else you can think of. Perhaps the most popular holiday to be used is Christmas. Of all of the Christmas-themed horror flicks out there, Charles E. Sellier’s Silent [...]
