Shudder’s “Unhappy Holidays” Collection Has Several December Essentials
Sit on your couch. Drink egg nog. Watch Christmas horror movies.
Earlier this week, Meagan took the time to scour Hulu, Amazon and Netflix to find the holiday horror films currently streaming on each service, letting you know that essential holiday season horror flicks such as Gremlins, Jack Frost and A Christmas Horror Story are at your disposal this year. And they’re just the beginning.
You’ll also find a handful of holiday gems over on Shudder, which just put together a special “Unhappy Holidays” collection loaded with some of the sub-genre’s best.
“Snowbound scares? It’s the reason for the season. As the holidays aarive and the temperature drops, get a different kind of chill with Shudder’s selection of holiday horror. Deck the halls in creepy cabins and sorority houses, as bad kids and worse Santas leave a whole lot of red on all that white. Outside or in, it’s all frightful.”
The collection includes wintery slasher Cold Prey alongside Xmas horror classics Christmas Evil, Black Christmas and the more recent Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale.
Also in the collection is Better Watch Out, a brand new 2017 release!
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
