Alternative Holiday Movies 0
Sick to Death of “A Christmas Story”? Me too.
Every year it’s the same thing. “Christmas Story”. “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”. Garfield and Charlie Brown. That annoying Tim Burton movie with the sucky puppets that goth nerds think is so great. It makes me want to puke my eggnog down the front of my festive holiday sweater.
Pissed because he’s the only one that wore an ugly sweater to the “ugly holiday sweater party”
Now I’m not saying that I dislike Christmas movies or anything, I’m just saying that it’s about time for something new. And so it pleases me greatly to present to you a list of twelve alternative holiday movies, some of which I’m sure you are already familiar with, some of which you may not be, and some of which aren’t technically Christmas movies at all, but do take place on or around Christmas. Enjoy!
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Black Christmas
These girls are smart, they practice the Buddy System!
First off is a Holiday horror film in the vein of such classics as “Silent Night Deadly Night”. Black Christmas is a modern remake of an early slasher in which a deranged killer dresses like Santa and butchers a house full of sexy sorority girls during Christmas break. Of course, in typical 80’s slasher fashion, there are abundant shower and sex scenes that of course always end with naked fitness models splashing blood all over the goddamn place.
