3 Reasons To Watch Horror Movies During The Holidays This Year - #Holiday #Horror

Watching horror on Halloween... How cool is that!

Ok, I admit that horror movies and holidays don't exactly go hand in hand during a series of holidays that are supposed to promote good will and charity for all, but let's be honest fright fans, horror movies rule, and so here are my three reasons to watch horror movies during the holidays! 

1. They rule! 

This Santa is going to hang a lot more from the chimney then stockings!

That's right, horror movies rock, I mean if you are by yourself this holiday season... Are you really going to watch Miracle On 34th Street (1947)? Or are you going to watch Santa Claws (1996)? If you are looking for some adrenaline pumping, edge of your seat type of thrills and chills during the Holidays, you are going to want to watch Santa Claws or the many other horror movies out there! 

2. There are a ton of horror movies that match each holiday! 

Thankskilling... This ain't your normal Turkey!

That's right fright fans, from, 'Thankskilling' to, 'Silent Night Bloody Night', there is definitely something there for everyone this holiday season! 

And finally at number 3. If you are alone, some times doing something a little out of the usual can be fun!

Which Kringle did it, eh?

 That's right fright fans, so if you are looking to do something a little different on either Thanksgiving or Christmas this year, then check out a horror movie... And here are some that I think might help you get started! 

And if you want to find some more... Then check out these movies we have to offer in our store at HellsDepot.com

Four Horror TV Series That Would Be Great For The Horror Fan OnChristmas 2014

Now every year I have tried to give some recommendations for some classic entertainment in the horror/science fiction variety that people might enjoy if they happen to be alone for the Holidays... Usually these items are emblematic of the spirit of the season... But the truth is, is as far as I know, there are no Horror based TV series that revolve around Christmas exclusively... But these still apply rather nicely I do believe! So for those alone during the holiday season, I hope this helps!

At number 4: Supernatural

At number 3: American Horror Story

Ar number 2: Buffy The Vampire Slayer

At number 1: Tales From The Crypt

There are a lot more out there, but these are four series that are great for binge watching, and if you happen to be home alone this Christmas... These could be ones to ring in the Christmas spirit in the scariest ways imaginable

5 Great TV Backer Cards To Get The Collector In Your Life For Christmas

For those of you who haven't heard of them yet, TV backer cards were art prints that had been commissioned by Blockbuster years ago on a cardboard backing... Now these prints are very highly detailed, and with the downfall of the video rental industry, have begun to see the rise of Backer Cards in all forms becoming collectors items... And so I thought that for the collector in your life, that one or all of these backer cards might help you in your Christmas shopping this season!

So with out further adieu:

At number 5: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 1, Disc 1:

The backer card for the first season, disc 1 of the classic Vampire drama series, 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'

At number 4: True Blood: The Complete First Season, Disc 1:

This backer card would be a great gift for horror fans or even just fans of the series!

At number 3: The Vampire Diaries: The Complete First Season. Disc 1:

And for the more contemporary Vampire TV series fan...

At number 2: Spongebob Squarepants: Sponge Guard On Duty:

And for the kiddies room...

At number 1: Big Love: The Complete Fourth Season, Disc 2:

This backer card would be a great gift to get your girl friend or wife... Or would be great to give to just the fan of the series!

Five Must Have Horror Book Gifts For The Fan In Your Life For Christmas2014

That's right folks, with Christmas fast approaching, I thought that it might be helpful to give you guys a few little suggestions as words of advice when going Christmas shopping this Holiday season for the Horror fan in your life.

So with out further adieu:

5. Twilight, by: Stephenie Meyer:

A best selling Vampire romance novel series that was turned in to an extremely successful horror movie franchise.

Trust me when I say that recommending this novel for anything is not a particularly easy one, but the truth is, is I am sure you have heard of the movie... Well the movie is based on the book, and is one that would be a good gift for a fan of either, or is some one who is in to these types of horror novels.

4. It, by: Stephen King:

Don't let the terrifying clown on the book cover fool you... This book is a lot scarier then the clown is making it out to be!

To be honest with you guys, this novel certainly is not the best of Stephen King's body of works, but if you are looking for something for that Stephen King fan in your life for Christmas, and he or she has not read this one... Then this would be a good one to add to the ole shopping list!

3. The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, by: Robert Louis Stevenson:

One for the Victorian era Horror fan!

Now this one... This one, I am going to say this, this is a fantastic book, but unless your horror fan is in to older novels, then this may not be the one for him...

2. Desperation, by: Stephen King:

Here is a Stephen King book you can really sink your teeth in to!

The reason that I am mentioning both of these... And I am sure that if you get the Stephen King fan in your life a book this year that you are going to get them Desperation... The truth is, is I doubt you will be disappointed, but both books are one's I think the Stephen King fan in your life are going to like!

1. Psycho, by: Robert Bloch

A must for a horror fan!

This book... The movie is epic, the third book is amazing, this book... I haven't read yet... An error I assure you, but despite this fact, I can say that with confidence, the horror fan in your life is going to love this book!

I hope that this list helps when you are making your Christmas purchases this year!

Jack Frost (1997) - Movie Review

[caption id="attachment_385" align="alignright" width="353"] Official Score = 2 Devils[/caption]

The 1990s through the first decade of the new millennium, saw a huge rise in the comedy horror movie market… Especially as it seems with the advent of bad horror/comedies that seem to have at least to some extent centered around Christmas… (I would also say that it is probably safe to say that the advent of these horror movies probably indirectly had something to do with the rise of horror spoofs in the late 90s through to the present…)

A few of these classic examples of course being:

'Tales From The Crypt' did a Christmas Episode that had to do with jolly ole, ‘Santa’ (played by Robert Drake), terrorizing people on Christmas.

Santa’s Slay (2005), a movie that has to do with Santa finally being released from his duty as a beneficent gift giver, to being able to continue on with the mass slaughter that he had started centuries earlier…

And of course there is also Jack Frost (1997)…

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="271"] This Snowman ain't exactly Frosty![/caption]

These are just a few examples of the screwball horror comedies that came out in the 90s and 2000s, that you might call, the, (So bad their awesome horror movies)…

Jack Frost is a great example of this, you see Jack Frost has virtually no-name (yet fantastic) cast which includes Jack MacDonald (Jarhead), Christopher Allport (X-Files), Stephen Mendel (The Terminal), F. William Parker (Hard Eight), Eileen Seeley (Batman Forever), Rob LaBelle (New Nightmare) and Zach Eginton (The Iron Giant).

Now this virtual corny one liner in and of itself told the story of how the county of Snowmonton (Seriously!) Is terrorized one December evening by a Snowman by the name of ‘Jack Frost’ (Scott MacDonald), who has to do a lot worse to the Sheriff he wanted revenge on then just, ‘nipping at his nose’…

[caption id="attachment_3429" align="aligncenter" width="421"] This, 'Snowman' has a score to settle with the local sheriff![/caption]

You see, Jack Frost as it turns out is a convicted psychotic serial killer who has sworn revenge on the Snowmonton County Sheriff by the name of, Sheriff Sam Tiler (Christopher Allport), who while being transported to the chamber where his death is supposed to take place ends up in an accident with a truck carrying a special chemical, that when it spills all over Jack, ends up actually turning Jack in to the snow!

And so after this, it will be up to the Sheriff’s Dept, a few townsfolk and a government team to try and take down this frosty giant, because this, 'Snow Giant' is certainly not wishing any of these guys a merry Christmas!

Anyway, if you can see the humor in this movie, then you might find that you really enjoy it!

5 Sci-Fi Movies For Christmas

With Christmas coming up here in a couple of weeks, I would be remiss if I didn't mention what I thought would be 5 great Sci-Fi movies that I thought that you guys would like if you are looking for something to watch with your family, or if you are spending Christmas this year by yourself or, if you’re looking for something for the Sci-Fi movie fan in your life!

At number 5 we got: Mars Attack! (1996):

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="600"] President James Dale (Nicholson) as he is being held hostage by a Martian![/caption]

This movie is awesome! I mean if, with a great cast that includes people like, Jack Nicholson (The Terror), Pierce Brosnan (Of James Bond fame) and Sarah Jessica Parker (Ed Wood). Rather you are a fan of classic Science Fiction and are looking for something to watch by yourself or with your family this year for Christmas, than you are going to love this movie… Simply put, it is a spoof of the classic Sci-Fi invasion movies that came out between the 1950s – 1970s!

At number 4: Bicentennial Man (1999):

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Robin Williams asthe robot, 'Andrew Martin' in, 'Bicentennial Man' (1999).[/caption]

If you’re a Sci-Fi fan, and you are looking for a movie that is fun for the whole family (young and old alike), then this one is a great heart -warming (and oft times funny) tale that stars Robin Williams (Insomnia), and tells the tale of a Robot who starts off as a servant to a family, and ends up finding that he wants more and ends up going on a journey to try and discover his humanity!

At number 3: Spaceballs (1987):

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="501"] John Candy as, 'Barf', Daphne Zuniga as, 'Princess Vespa' and Bill Pullman as, 'Lone Starr'[/caption]

At number 2: The Ghostbuster movie series:

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="550"] Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson in 'Ghostbusters' (1984)[/caption]

Let’s be honest, this movie series is legendary, with a great cast (which includes the likes of: Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Annie Potts, and Rick Moranis), these movies have great and hilarious story lines! In the end, no matter if you are alone this year or with your family this year for Christmas, then this one could be a good fit for you… (I know it is for me)!

At number 1: The Back To The Future Trilogy:

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="378"] Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox in the, 'Back To The Future' series![/caption]

In my opinion this movie series is just about the perfect series to watch for the Holidays! I mean it is hilarious, it has a great cast (including Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd) and it is a movie series that both Kids and Adults love!

In the end, I know that most of these movies are Sci-Fi Comedies, but the truth is, is that Comedies are great, and all of these movies would be fun for Christmas rather you are alone or with your family and if you are looking for something for the Sci-Fi movie fan in your life, than hopefully this will help you with your decision!
