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.

They also talk about Lewis Jackson's inception of the plot, the dream-like climax, and many other aspects of the movie. Aaron and Derek want you to remember to stay good boys & girls.

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.

 What's up, dudes? Remember the cult classic “Christmas Evil?” Matt McGrath from Nostaljunk joins me to dissect it. It's a character study of one man's descent into madness. Harry is a scarred man. After witnessing Santa caress his mom in an inappropriate manner—not realizing it was his dad in costume—he has a mental break. Years later, the now adult Harry is obsessed with Santa, emotionally detached from his family, and promoted to toy factory manager. He spies on the neighborhood children to see who's naughty or nice. While at an office Christmas party, a company donation scam finally cracks him, and he dresses up like and mentally becomes Santa. He steals company toys and donates them to a home for handicapped children. Then he murders  his greedy colleagues. Consequently he's chased by an angry mob, confronts his brother over his childhood trauma, and flees. His van falls off a bridge and…Toy soldier with actual bayonet? Check. Realistic Santa attire? Yep. Toy bag for suffocating wicked coworkers? Definitely!

Welcome to the 2023 Grave Plot Podcast Christmas spectacular! We're coming down your chimney with a big ol' sack of Horror Business to stuff your stockings with, including a Real World Horror story about, what else, psycho clowns! We also discuss Terrifier 3, Death Stranding, and a musical version of The Lost Boys. If you reach in deep, down at the bottom, you might also find updates on Chucky and Bambi: The Reckoning. We then partake in our annual gift exchange and invite you to listen in, you dirty scoundrel, you. It's then time to reach under the tree and grab some big ol' festive film reviews! We've got two holiday themed horrors, namely the 1980 classic Christmas Evil, about a man who believes he is Santa Claus reincarnate and uses his power to spread cheer, joy, and murder most foul. We then discuss the much more modern The Mean One, about a green creature in a Santa costume who, for legal reasons, is definitely not The Grinch, but does wreak havoc on the small town of Whovi- I mean... Newville. So go wake up mom and dad, put on your footie pajamas, and get ready to unwrap a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!

It's Popzara's Movie Time! Podcast, where our in-house movie nerds Ethan Brehm and Nate Evans take you on an unscripted journey yakking and chatting about some of their favorite movie moments and cinematic scenes, from past and present, presented without snark and snobbery for your listening pleasure. Wrapped under this year's podcast tree is our second Santa-themed holiday episode featuring two very different, yet oddly similar movies about men becoming Santa Clause. Parents should exercise caution before gathering the family around the television, however. First up is 1994's The Santa Clause, the John Pasquin-directed, Tim Allen-starring family film about a man tricked into becoming the literal Father Christmas. The guys dissect why this holiday favorite, which spawned a massively successful franchise that continues to this day, is darker and more satisfying than you remember. It's the rare Christmas entertainment where body horror and child custody take center stage, where farting reindeer and legalese reveal the true meaning of Christmas is about loving not who you are, but who you could be. Next is 1980's Christmas Evil (aka “You Better Watch Out”), Lewis Jackson's infamously miscategorized psychological examination of a man descending into madness that's more Taxi Driver than a typical Halloween-style slasher. Lighter on blood than the marketing suggested, Brandon Maggart wows in a stunning performance predated Joaquin Phoenix Oscar-winning turn in Joker, with beautifully shot locations that look better than most modern films. How many Christmas films can boast having a Frankenstein-like mob wielding actual torches?

Movie Roulette Tuesday: The Podcast

The MRT crew reviews this quirky holiday horror flick about a Santa obsessed man (played by Fiona Apple's dad Brandon Maggart) who witnessed his mom and “Santa” getting frisky when he was a child, and now as an adult decides to become Santa to enact revenge to those on his naughty list. We also discuss our own memories of Santa, whether we ever tried to sneak a peek at our Christmas gifts, and the pros and cons of shopping online vs. in person.

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.
