Well it's that time of year again! Time to clean the blood stains off of your Santa Claus costume and sharpen up the axe! You can choose from a vast assortment of yule tide bloodbaths this season to fill you with holiday cheer, but it goes without saying that "Silent Night Deadly Night" is usually on the tippy top of my list for December viewing, if only because outraged parents got their panties in such a bunch upon its initial theatrical release. This movie really pissed a lot of people off. As an exercise in poor taste it remains priceless. You had to be a real asshole to make something like this...in fact I wish I had made this movie! It's that good(mean-spirited)!
May I also suggest the completely wacko, "Silent Night Deadly Night Part 5 : The Toy Maker", starring Mickey Rooney (!???). I assure you it's a totally insane holiday shitfest that will bring forth much ho ho ho-larity. Featuring an adult actor playing some kind of perverted, homicidal take off on Pinocchio...named "Pino"...with his "father" (Rooney) being aptly named "Joe Petto" . Get it? Man that stings!
If you'd actually like to have the crap scared out of you this holiday season, try Bob Clark's original "Black Christmas" or "Child's Play". There is really no shortage of ways to offend the Christmas enthusiast within. You might start with John Water's "Female Trouble" and then follow that with a chaser of "Tales From The Crypt" (1972) and "Christmas Evil". The world's your oyster on this one folks! Slay bells ring! are ya listenin'?

I actually prefer this one over Black Christmas (I never got the deal with that one)
Also, Jack Frost - the great "Monsturd inspiration" is shipping from Netflix, tomorrow - I am looking forward to watching it :-)
I also added Christmas Evil, Santa's Slay, Santa Claws, and Don't Open Till Christmas - I am debating over Gingerdead Man. . .
