Killer Santa Claus movies

What a genre, huh? It can be Santa, or some guy who dresses as Santa and goes on a killing spree.

Obviously, we've got Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984), in which nice guy Billy's parents were murdered by a guy dressed as Santas, so he's pushed to his limit and goes on a killing spree. A great 80s exploitation flick that was notorious among angry parents. Then, we had a sequel that mostly rehashed the same footage, and did no justice to the killer santa genre. Bill Moseley plays the killer santa in SNDN3, so I need to see that one.

There was a loose "remake" called Silent Night, but that movie sucked ASS. What a piece of shit...


I also saw Christmas Evil last night, and some dude puts on the suit and goes on a killing spree. However, this time, it's a lot more awkward. For example, he tries to go down the chimney and gets stuck, so he panics until he can pull himself out. He's kind of a putz, but somehow, he flies away in the night sky at the end. What a dumb ending.

Tales from the Crypt had not one, but TWO great killer Santas. The 1972 film featured a segment with a woman fighting off an intruder after having to cover up her own crime, and then they had an episode about the same story, where Larry Drake plays the killer santa, and he was great. You know what's also great? I met Robert Brian Wilson (Billy) from Silent Night Deadly Night, and I met Larry Drake.

American Horror Story season 2 had a killer Santa, played by Ian McShane.

I'm sure this has to be a big genre. I'm not sure if Krampus counts, because he's NOT Santa, but he's kinda close?

How do you watch your Movies and TV?

I've got a 40 inch tv that's about 10 years old at this point. The color isn't as sharp as it used to be, and I haven't had the surround sound or dvd/blu player hooked up in ages. That means okay picture quality and mediocre sound.

I really fell off it for a while there, but I'll be getting an upgrade soon, to a 50 inch 4k smart tv with a 3D sound bar. I'm pretty excited about that.

My damn computer is about a decade old, too. I Haven't even tried using this thing for games in a long time, because it can't handle it. It hums something fierce, even for some javascript sometimes.

I don't have as much need for a desktop pc as I used to, because technology is getting so much better, and smaller. All I use my desktop for is typing things. When people are on mobile devices, they don't "type". They "text", and since nobody has keyboards anymore, that's what led to the demise of the common message board. No well thought out posts. No actual writing. I don't know about youz guyz, but I like to get drunk and ramble, and that's easier on a desktop. Because of the keyboard.

It bugs me that I spent so many years building up a dvd collection, just to have it become obsolete with blu-rays, and now 4k blu-rays. I don't watch physical media at all anymore, and I stream it all on kodi/netflix and youtube.

How do you watch stuff?

The Wailing (2016), Dumplings (2004), Train to Busan (2016)

Revisited Korean horror epic The Wailing (2016) the other night. Directed by Hong-jin Na, of The Chaser (2008) which I enjoyed and The Yellow Sea (2010), which I've not yet seen but probably should before too long. The Wailing begins as something of an infected horror. A small rural village is plagued with inexplicable rashes followed by violent mania, perhaps related to a mysterious Japanese gentleman who has taken up residence in a nearby forest. But the plot thickens instead of devolving into the usual carnage and sieges. Investigating police officer Jong-goo and his colleagues blunder about, and by the by his daughter Hyo-jin becomes afflicted, even seeming possessed. A shaman is summoned for help, but things are not to go simply or smoothly...

This is one of those horrors in which the supernatural is bound inextricably to ordinary human failing. Certainly the evil here is formidable, enigmatic, implacable, but the villagers wracked with gossip, superstition and xenophobia, cut off from civilisation, and police force hot headed but short on bravery, integrity or wisdom, are still more than helpful. And its also one of those horrors, fewer in number, in which that bond is worked through at leisure and without compromise. A good near two and a half hours long, and it makes use of it. This sort of thing can get to be a drag, gloomy, inevitable, not actually much fun, but the ever shifting plotting and multiplying mysteries of The Wailing give it considerable intrigue. It also has regular injections of creeps and tension, it may be thoughtful and measured of pace but it's no sedate to no key ambiguous arthouse picture. The thoughtful side, the scares and the pace all work together, always compelling, never allowing relaxation. Pacy action is just too much like easygoing fun for really effective horror in my book, at least not until a climax and then only for a little time. Here there is a definite quickening and climax, but as mentioned, no compromise. This is one that can be watched a few times to really get the measure of.

Everything is assembled with skill and played on point, the actors move with grim force through confusion and anger and fear and desperation, and tragic little flickers of understanding. The film looks great, it has its own lost little semi fantastical world even in what seems to be modern times. Early on and even throughout there are images of calm, stillness, natural beauty. Not just empty prettiness though, but a sense of a world where these things can happen, a world that abides but offers no respite.

This definitely won't be for everyone, and for my own tastes I perhaps could have gone for just a little more grue or freakishness on screen. But these are minor quibbles, this is one of the best horrors of recent years. Strongly recommended.

Megan is Missing (2011)



People really like found footage movies these days, huh? I don't get the fascination, to be honest. Never have. Although there's something to be said for the never ending popularity of The Blair Witch Project, which originally made Horror fans fall in love with the sub genre. I didn't like The Blair Witch Project, and not one Found Footage films after that even so much as piqued my interest. That is, until 2011. That year, a movie called Megan Is Missing was released. Not only did this film make me rethink my opinions on Found Footage, but helped restore some long, lost faith in the Horror genre. For someone who has been an adult for quite some time, it's rare that I find a film which genuinely scares me. Even after several viewings, this one still gives me chills.

Megan is Missing feels like two movies. The first is a mean spirited but pointless, teen Drama, almost reminiscent of Harmony Korine. Later on, the second one blindsides us with a devastating and heartbreaking turn of events. This sneaky approach proves to be a successful one, as you just wouldn't expect things to go from borderline-boring to ... THAT!

Megan Stewart is a drugged-out, 14 year old little slut who parties way too much. Megan is super popular, but clearly for the wrong reasons. Megan feels like she has already grown up far too fast, but the truth is, she merely started doing drugs and having sex at a ridiculously young age. Not the same thing. Guys use Megan, And she uses them back. To her, these things are normal, or at least not a problem. Megan's problems are solely due to a dysfuctional home life, which includes a raging, bitch mother with molesting boyfriends. Screwing her up even further. Megan's only saving grace is her best friend, seemingly her only real friend, Amy Herman.

Amy is a year younger, and seems immature for her age, but in reality, she's just a normal, insecure 13 year old. Despite Megan's many faults, which also includes being dragged down by the peer pressuring popular crowd, she is a true friend to Amy, and is always trying to help her come out of her shell, while always on the verge of becoming a destructive influence. As wrapped up as Megan is in her drug/sex-filled life, and douche bag friends, it seems as though Megan envys Amy in all her unpopularity and awkwardness. One could say Megan Lives vicariously through her innocence.

Megan recently met a guy online. A guy whose face she has yet to see, who claims to be only slightly older, while offering no proof. Not that most 14 year olds would even think to ask if they're already getting attention from an older guy. Amy seems to be the only one who knows of this inevitable hook up, but is of course also far too naive to think anything of this. And one day, Megan vanished. As this abduction gets lots of media attention, A huge void is felt within her high school, but with no one more than Amy, who has now been revealed as the main character. Amy, who now feels more vulnerable than she ever has in her life, quickly turns to Megan's online beau, and soon makes the choice we all saw coming, of telling no one of this faceless stranger. Soon, Amy vanishes, too. We have a pretty good idea of what's going on, here. While we never learn much about what happened to Megan, we do witness Amy's fate in graphic, sickening detail.

This story is revealed to us through webcam footage, home videos, and news updates. Suddenly, this dumb, teen drama turned into a nightmarish lesson in not trusting strangers, which, if you ask me, should be required viewing for all teenage girls in school, these days. They need to see this. They need to see the worst case scenario with their own eyes. And any skeptical Horror fans, who haven't seen this yet, should rejoice, as the genre is clearly alive and well in the 2010s. Megan Is Missing proves that! 7/10

Silver Bullet

This movie... is actually pretty good.

Easily my favorite werewolf movie with Corey Haim riding around in a wheelchair.
