I was asked recently by the Banterflix folks to compile my Christmas Horror Movie Top 5 for a special Christmas Edition of Banterflix TV to be shown soon on NVTV. We’ll update you as sson as we have airing date but for now here’s a sneaky peek. Christmas and Horror make unlikely but enjoyable bedfellows and with the recent success of Krampus are obviously something that we’re still enjoying. With that in mind I have put together my top 5 spooky festive films.
5. Santa’s Slay – Featuring ex-wcw world champion Bill Goldberg as a nasty Santa who originally became the giver of gifts after losing a bet with an angel, when the bet ends the killing begins. This has surprising good production values and is funny, horrific and festive in all the right amounts. No awards for this one but a lot better than it really has any right to be.
4. A Christmas Horror Story – Just released this year, this adopts a ‘Trick R Treat’ style approach of separate interwoven tales of Christmas horror. William Shatner is our host and plays a hard drinking radio DJ that helps tie all the tales together. Shocks, twists and some surprisingly good CGI make this some good schlocky fun.
3.Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale – Scandi-Horror/Action Adventure at it’s finest. Evil Corporations, Amazing Scenery, a scary Santa Buried 486 feet underground and elves that will tear you apart. File this in the guilty pleasures section, but feel a little bit smarter for watching a film with subtitles.
