Just in time for the holiday season, we’re delighted to report that Netflix has put anthology film A Christmas Horror Story up for instant streaming. The fun flick, released last year, made the cut on both Mr. Disgusting’s Top 10 of 2015 list and Trace Thurman’s Top 10 Biggest Surprises of 2015 list; personally speaking, it was also one of my faves of the year.
And we’re certainly not alone in loving the holiday horror anthology. Earlier this week we launched a poll designed to let you guys pick the best Christmas horror movie of all time, and now a few days into the poll, A Christmas Horror Story is ranking in an impressive sixth place with 147 votes. It’s neck and neck with the 2006 remake of Black Christmas, in fact.
“There’s all sorts of craziness in this anthology that delivers on so many different levels; it’s gory, but it’s also goofy, then all of a sudden it’s insanely scary,” Mr. Disgusting wrote last year. As for Trace Thurman, he called it “a very fun movie that knows how ridiculous it is.”
Pour yourself a glass of egg nog, spike it with some rum, and enjoy!
In A Christmas Horror Story:
It’s the season of joy, peace, and goodwill… unless you live in Bailey Downs. Last Christmas Eve, two teens came to a grisly end in a school basement. Now, one year later, a new set of horrors has come to town. As three friends explore the site of the massacre, a malevolent spirit is determined to keep them there forever. One of the first cops to the scene of the bloody murders has new complications as his seven-year-old son exhibits terrifying and violent behavior. And when a local family seeks reconciliation with an estranged aunt for the wrong reasons, they suddenly find themselves running in terror from Krampus, the demonic anti-Santa Claus. Not even St. Nick is immune to the terror as he fights back against a horde of zombie elves. This is destined to be a holiday no one will ever forget.
Directed by Steven Hoban (Darknet), Grant Harvey (She Made Me Do It) and Brett Sullivan (Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed), the film stars William Shatner and George Buza.
