WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 141 – The Naughty List
Ho, Ho, Ho, and Merry Xmas! Today WOD brings all you good little boys and girls a naughty little short from writer/director, Paul Campion THENAUGHTY LIST, which is an adaptation of the short story, “The Siqquism Who Stole Christmas.”
Somewhere off in isolation is a small cabin, and in that cabin are two men, spending Christmas Eve in hiding. Being an Xmas-themed film, it’s pretty obvious who else will be making a nighttime visit.
It’s a charming short, beautifully shot in warm tones, masterfully acted with the characters all possessing lovely little quirks. Production quality is top notch with some detailed sets, one particularly nice costume, and some impressive digital effects. As for the story…?
Well, it’s difficult to discuss in a spoiler-free fashion. We’ll just say that what follows is three parts character humor, two parts situational humor, and one part of interesting (and unique) definition of how Santa views morality. Who’s “Naughty” and who’s “Nice” isn’t quite as clear-cut as one might normally think, but it does make sense from “a certain point of view.” Sadly, all good things must come to an end and by the end of this episode of WOD it will be the life of someone in this winter landscape. Until next time, don’t eat yellow snow.

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
