5 Horror Movies To Watch On Christmas!!!

Oh hey, I didn’t see you there!

I don’t have anything against Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. I enjoy spending time with my family and actually like this time of year because of it. But if you’re home for the holidays, chances are you have very little control over what’s playing on the house TV. It’s just sort of on, right? No one in particular seems to be paying attention – and if there’s a movie playing it probably takes place during the holidays but no one seems to actually be watching it.

Here’s where these 5 movies come in. Should you be able to sneak control over your family’s home entertainment setup, you can toss a few of these guys on. After all, they’re technically holiday movies. Your parents didn’t specifically say they couldn’t contain murder and mayhem.

[Event Review] Holiday Horror At New Beverly Cinema

One of Los Angeles’ finest horror traditions has once again come and gone, but not before dispensing copious amounts of yuletide fun and fright. Last night the New Beverly Cinema screened Black Christmas (for the eighth consecutive year) along with Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2 (for the first time) as part of their annual Grindhouse Holiday Show and Bob Clark tribute. Needless to say, horror fans in L.A. are a lucky bunch.

Having attended in the past, my friends and I were prepared for the evening. By that I mean we purchased tickets ahead of time because the event usually sells out, and it did. The host and programmer, Brian Quinn, mentioned around 50 people were turned away for the screening of the first movie, Black Christmas. (There was plenty of empty seats during the 2nd film.) While the folks who were turned away had to walk back to their cars through a bitter wind, inside the theater was a packed, enthusiastic and WARM crowd. READ MORE

[Interview] Malcolm McDowell Talks About The “Unpretentious Fun” Of ‘Silent Night’, Revisiting Stanley Kubrick

After hitting theaters last Friday, Silent Night is now available everywhere as a Blu-ray/DVD (or just as DVD if that’s the way you like it). The film, directed by Steven C. Miller (Automaton Transfusion, Under the Bed, The Aggression Scale), is a loose remake of the horror classic Silent Night, Deadly Night. The cast includes Malcolm McDowell (Rob Zombie’s Halloween, A Clockwork Orange), Jaime King (Sin City, My Bloody Valentine 3D), Donal Logue (Shark Night 3D, Blade), Lisa Marie (Sleepy Hollow), Brendan Fehr (Final Destination, X-Men First Class), and Ellen Wong (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World).

I recently hopped on the phone with McDowell and we talked about his approach to the role and working with director Steven C. Miller. We also spoke about his classic collaboration with Stanley Kubrick, A Clockwork Orange.

In the film, “McDowell and King star as a small-town sheriff and deputy on the hunt for a murderous Santa Claus terrorizing their community on Christmas Eve. But with the streets full of Santas for the annual Christmas parade, the killer is hiding in plain sight. He’s made his list, checked it twice, and the naughty are going to pay with their lives.
