Christmas Evil (1980)

Author: Geekscape December 25, 2025 Duration: 44:15
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.

Ever have that feeling of standing in a video store aisle, staring at a box with wild artwork, hoping you’re about to discover a hidden gem? That’s the spirit Horror Movie Night channels every episode. Hosts Matt, Scott, and Kyle from Geekscape are your guides through the highs and lows of the genre, from forgotten oddities to beloved classics. They fully commit to the gamble, so you get the genuine excitement of a surprising find like *American Gothic* right alongside the shared misery of a baffling flop like *Terror Toons*. The dynamic is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on friends passionately debating a movie they just rented, capturing that specific blend of nostalgia and snark. Listening to this podcast feels like a weekly hangout where the conversation is fueled by cinematic scares and genuine laughs. You’ll hear their immediate reactions, the tangents, and the camaraderie that turns even the most disappointing film into an entertaining experience. It’s a comedy and film discussion wrapped in the worn-out VHS tape of memory, perfect for anyone who misses the ritual of picking a movie based solely on its cover.
