New Years Horror

Christmas usually dominates the month of December, but we still have a good week in there where we're recovering from Christmas, and moving into the new year. There aren't a lot of movies about this thin period where you can't really decorate or distinguish yourself from that generic Christmas and/or Holiday spirit.

I've only seen a few New Years horrors, and I barely remember anything about most of them. We have have Terror Train (1980), in which Jamie Lee Curtis resumes her role as the early slasher scream queen. It had a stupid mask, and the David Copperfield was pulling some of his crazy magic, but I don't remember much else besides some gnarly necrophilia prank in the beginning.

New Years Evil (1980) also seems to be cashing in on this craze. I guess holiday-themed titles were getting snatched up in this era, because everyone wanted to have the definitive holiday horror movie. This one... yeah, I don't remember much about it, except that I was interested in how we were mostly following the killer for the whole movie. Well, at least for a good amount. He's not trying to be creepy per se, but he's definitely insane. Probably? Not the worst.

One that I'm more familiar with is Schwarzenegger's End of Days (1999), which is more of an action movie, but it's the closest thing to a horror movie Arnold will probably ever do. Maggie was okay, but in more of a drama kind of way. We basically have Gabriel Byrne as the devil, trying to fuck Robin Tunney (that girl from The Craft) and only Arnold can stop him, because everyone has to fight the devil sometimes. Toxie did it, Keanu Reeves did it... Cher can even do it.

What other New Years horror have you got? Does this holiday even have any potential for horror?
