Podcasts about Christmas Evil

Merry Killsmas from another white guy who took his job at a toy factory way too seriously and decided he would be the one to punish every scrooge he runs into. CHRISTMAS EVIL (1980) isn't just another Santa rampage movie, it was the second feature-length slasher featuring Big Red, coming out 11 months after TO ALL A GOODNIGHT (1980). The trope might feel well-trod in this day and age, but go back 45 years and boy oh boy did this concept get the pearls clutched. Travel with us to simpler time when kids wanted nothing more under the tree than toy soldiers with stabby tips and Santa groping their mom. Happy holidays! Learn more about your ad choices.

CHRISTMAS EVIL OT: YOU BETTER WATCH OUT USA, 1980 Regie: Lewis Jackson Für Harry Stadling ist Weihnachten etwas ganz Besonderes, und gerade der Weihnachtsmann hat es ihm angetan. So sehr angetan, dass er sich immer mehr mit ihm identifiziert. Bjoern Candidus und Marco Fritz sprechen über den Psycho-Thriller CHRISTMAS EVIL, der unter den Festtags-Thrillern oft übersehen wird.

We've done a lot of killer Santa films, but we've never done the extremely French Deadly Games: Dial Code Santa Claus, the precursor to Home Alone's "kid on Christmas setting traps for bad guys" idea. Here we talk about the MINITEL, if the idea for Home Alone was stolen, and how closely this film hews to Christmas Evil (another movie we've done previously). We're also drinking Sam Adams' new winter seasonal White Winter Ale!Approximate timeline0:00-12:00 Intro12:00-20:00 Beer talk20:00-end Deadly Games: Dial Code Santa ClausFestivus Series continues all Christmas season!

What happens when a child with a traumatic holiday event grows up and becomes obsessed with Santa Claus? Christmas Evil, the best Christmas movie you've never seen, according to John Waters. A psychological study of a man losing his mind, Christmas Evil (also known as You Better Watch Out), is sure to become your Christmas must-watch.

The Christmas horror chaos has arrived! In this ultimate Christmas Horror Movie Showdown, the Gutted Horror Podcast slashes through 32 of the best Christmas-themed horror movies—from killer Santas to festive slashers, creature features, demonic elves, haunted holiday houses, and more. In each round, we randomly draw two Christmas horror movies from our bloody Santa hat:• One gets chosen for our Snowy Christmas Desert Island,• And the other gets tossed into the icy ocean to feed the Santa Jaws–infested waters.

It's Christmas time, Creeps! We were so excited to sit down and talk about one of the weirdest, spookiest and saddest movies to ever grace the Christmas movie genre. Lewis Jackson's CHRISTMAS EVIL (You Better Watch Out) turned 45 this year, so we were delighted to grab some non-alcoholic eggnog and chat in-depth about it.   Find us: Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/epic-film-guys- Official Fan Group : https://www.facebook.com/groups/epicfilmguys Feed URL: https://epicfilmguys.podbean.com/feed/ Wordpress: http://epicfilmguys.wordpress.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/epicfilmguysny/live You can also catch us on most every podcatcher under the sun!

Relive the episode where Brian and Shelly share their picks for a Christmas Evil triple feature including Rare Exports, Whoever Slew Auntie Roo and Black Christmas

Milwaukee Film's annual “Season's Screenings” holiday movie series just got underway this week, and if you're listening to this episode on its release date, that means you've only missed one of the 22 selections that will run at the Oriental Theatre between now and Jan. 1 (if you really love The Holiday, you can always fork over $3.99 to stream it). With our resident Milwaukee Film-ite Kpolly, it seemed silly not to use this opportunity to dig into the topic of holiday movies. It won't surprise you to learn that both of our hosts find this part of the calendar cinematically delightful. It's kind of hard to argue with them, considering how un-genre-specific these movies are. Traditionalist? You've got White Christmas and It's a Wonderful Life. Romantic? Bridget Jones' Diary and When Harry Met Sally. Holiday hater? Krampus and Christmas Evil. Prefer straight-ahead comedies? Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Scrooged.Speaking of the Bill Murray-starring take on A Christmas Carol, only one entry in this year's “Season's Screenings” has an interactive element, and it happens Dec. 11 with what we're calling “Scrooged with Cinebuds Live”! Because we believe in delivering on things promised in titles, everyone in attendance at the Oriental Theatre will enjoy a screening of the movie and a live taping of Cinebuds immediately following.So if you've ever fancied the idea of hearing your voice on the podcast, this is your big chance. We'll even sweeten the deal by knocking $3 off your ticket, since you're clearly a devoted Cinebuds fan if you've gotten this far down the page. Just enter the code “SCROOGED” when you check out on the Milwaukee Film website, and you'll see the discount applied.#####Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Garage Door Company.

Hi—and welcome back to Horror Movie Podcast, where we're Dead Serious About Horror Movies. Here in Episode 228, emeritus host Jay of the Dead welcomes Pastor Matt, Jigsaw Jackson, and emeritus host Dr. Walking Dead—with more alumni like Dr. Shock and Gillman Joel contributing later. During this historic show, Pastor Matt introduces the new HMP 3.0 roster, officially welcoming two new hosts, Horror Movie Fanboy Brian Scott and Horror Fan Ryan Bratton! Next, the two new hosts share their Top 5 All-Time Favorite Horror Movies and recall their favorite HMP memories. But the bulk of this episode is dedicated to a theme of "Cold, Hard Horror" movies, where your hosts take three (and a half) rounds to recommend more than 50 lesser-discussed snowbound horror films that take place in the midst of a wintry setting. Each of the rounds features reviews and recommendations from the panel of hosts. Then your hosts deliver a lively Speed Round of additional icy horror highlights, just to quickly name-drop a few more worthy titles for you listeners! And as promised, Dr. Shock and Gillman Joel contribute a wacky segment of their own prior to Jay of the Dead's bonus “review for the road” in a concluding Final Cut segment. In addition, during Episode 228, you will hear Jackson's new theme music for HMP by his band, hello softie., a track titled "Sometimes It Rains in April" from the album, With Heavy Eyes and Bated Breath.Finally, as we wrap up this episode, Pastor Matt shares his thoughts on the future direction of HMP 3.0 and teases some exciting, upcoming episodes.

Ho ho horror! Buckle up for a twisted holiday ride in this electrifying episode of Tony's Corner, where we rip open the bloody underbelly of the 1980 cult classic 'Christmas Evil'! Think it's just another mindless slasher? Think again—this underrated gem skewers consumerism and yuletide hypocrisy like a sharpened candy cane, following the heartbreaking descent of Harry Stadling, a scarred toy factory worker who snaps and becomes a vengeful, axe-wielding Santa! We dissect its mind-bending psychological layers, razor-sharp social satire, character-fueled drama, juicy production backstory, and wild evolution from flop to fan-favorite. And wait for my brutal, no-holds-barred rating—is it a naughty nightmare or a nice surprise? This is the ultimate festive fright breakdown you didn't know you needed!linktree.com/thegreatgirthpodcast

A man, who was traumatized as a child during Christmas, experiences a mental break after being deceived at his work in a toy factory, goes on a killing spree around Christmas. Christmas Evil is not at all what we were expecting during our first watch. Expecting a horror slasher, this film is a character piece of a man, traumatized by Christmas during his youth, loosing his grip on reality. Brandon Maggart, does a great job portraying a man transforming into his own vision of what Santa should be after discovering Santa isn't real. While the movie has misses in developing the story, it does have some good acting performances as well as a crazy ending. Watch the movie and catch our review.

Natalie and Arnold present their annual celebration of all things festive and frightful, with a Very Video Nasty Xmas that covers two of the films from that infamous list, THE DORM THAT DRIPPED BLOOD (1982), and CHRISTMAS EVIL (1980)! So bring a flashlight (it is DARK!), glue on your best Santa beard, and get ready to deck the halls while fleeing from a torch-bearing mob in this very merry episode of GHOULS IN THE HOUSE! And remember, when you're listening to this podcast, the only ghoul in the house...is YOU! NOTE: Arnold wanted to add that he thought the chimney sequence in CHRISTMAS EVIL was easily the most uncomfortable and suspenseful scene in the film. He forgot to say it while recording, and he just can't let things go, so there you have it. Show Music: "Cemetery Dance" by The Vivisectors.

Send us a textHey Fearless Fans!! We've pulled another present from our goodie bag, because its the happiest time of the year! Merry Christmas!!!This week, Pete walks us through the 1980 film, Christmas Evil! The movie follows a deranged man named Harry Stadling, who takes it upon himself to act as his town's personal Santa Claus. This includes keeping a list of which kids are naughty or nice, and who deserves presents this holiday season, and who deserves to decapitations! Basically, its like a bloody Christmas version of Adam Sandler's Hubie Halloween.Join us as we discuss why you shouldn't spy on neighborhood children, the importance of therapy after a childhood trauma, and why Dale from The Walking Dead just can't catch a break.So string up the lights, gather round the fire, and remember: don't get too scared!

This week Bryan and Dave wind down the year and celebrate the holiday season with a look at a movie that can only be called horror in the most charitable of terms. Christmas Evil is the tale of two parties: Lewis Jackson, a director whose ideas were too weird for commercial Hollywood and a wall of exploitation producers who saw potential in his weird little character movie to be exploited in the wake of Halloween. The result is a movie that's more like Taxi Driver than Friday the 13th, a comedy so black that most people miss the goofs. But it's a wonderful piece of Holiday weirdness carried almost entirely on the shoulders of its star, Brandon Maggart. It is a movie so well-made and off-beat that it's a real shame that its director became so disenfranchised from the film making experience entirely that he never returned.

You better watch out...he's made his list and he knows who is naughty and who is nice. This week we wrap up our holiday horror series with a classic killer Santa movie: CHRISTMAS EVIL. No less a luminary than John Waters calls this his favorite Christmas movie and its easy to understand why. With a gritty, 70s feel that recalls Taxi Driver, black humor, and truly remarkable performance that alternates between humanistic and unhinged rom Brandon Maggert as a man who only wants to be Santa. This one hits at the loneliness of the holiday, how the magic of Xmas can get snatched away, and why Santa can be a terrifying figure. Mike, Nichole and Brian had a blast talking about this one.  If you like what you're listening to make sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcast feeds.  Please take a moment to rate and review us on the Apple Podcast app, or rate us on the Spotify app. Reviews and five star ratings help new listeners find us every day, and we greatly appreciate the feedback and support.  Check out our website for easy access to our full catalog of shows, with hundreds of hours of free content.
