So a lot of mine like Gremlins, and Die Hard, you guys already talked about. So I'll add some of my other favorites.
Gotta start with what is not only a holiday film, but also the blue print for the American Slasher film. Black Christmas. Directed by the late Bob Clark. Who went on to Direct A Christmas Story. I love that as well. But my style is more to have Black Christmas play 24 hours on Christmas.
Silent Night, Deadly Night. Some kids see this poster. Lose their shit. And their parents get it taken out of theaters. I saw this poster in my local video store as a kid. And I was fucking delighted. Who was a cooler kid in the 80's? I think I was. So anyway. This mean spirited, little chunk of Christmas slashery awesomeness. A+ in my book.
So then. They basically said. "The first one is too awesome. So awesome, how could we ever make a sequel?" I'll tell you how. Have 80% of part one, replay in flashbacks. The remaining 20% have the killer from the first movie's little brother (who was an infant, or not present to even flashback to these moments.) Be a killer too. During either a California Christmas or just not Christmas at all. And bam. Stuff. And the 'GARBAGE DAY!' meme was born.
Here is Steven C. Miller's Silent Night, Deadly Night remake. Silent Night. It manages to be even more mean spirited than the original. Pumping up an impressive body count of slashertastic proportions. And Santa gets a fucking Flame thrower.
To All A Goodnight. You get a holiday slasher movie, Directed by Krug from The Last House On The Left. And you get double the killer Santa fun, for one killer Santa price. And at some point it turns into a bizarre art film.
I'm gonna leave you here with Elves. Or in this case, a singular Elf. But who's counting. But wait. This is. Grizzly Adams VS a killer Nazi curse Elf. VS Incestual Nazi hitmen. Words cannot describe this film. This is Batshit Incarnate.
