2.The Nightmare Before Christmas – The perfect mix of Horror and Christmas for all the family, the traditional stop gap animation and songs have made this a timeless classic and for good reason – a film that stands up today as being as good as when it was first release am amazing 22 years ago! Boy does that make me feel old.
1. Gremlins – Written By Chris Columbus and Directed by Joe Dante, 1984’s Gremlins is my number one pick for Christmas Horror. It treads that fine line between comedy and horror, amazing cuteness, like the first time we see the furry Gizmo with his big eyes, to astounding blood shed like when we see a Gremlin being blitzed in a blender. Before CGI was a thing films like this thrived on practical effects and I’d argue it breathed more life into the creatures that a computer ever could. We’ve all seen it before but this being Christmas I’d say it’s the perfect time to dust off that old VHS copy…
Whatever you watch this year I hope you have a truly magical time this Christmas and receive a whole sackful of pastiebap’s on Christmas Morning!
