If you’re craving new blood in the Holiday Horror subgenre, “Nightmare on 34th Street” is here to deliver the demented goods this December.
Like many hardcore horror fans, I always get a little gloomy once Halloween is over, and it’s so hard to say goodbye to October.
As spooky kids, we are spooky all year long, and we don’t really need a special reason to embrace our love of the creepy and the macabre. But it sure is fun to have the world match on the outside how we feel on the inside, at least for a little while.
It takes me a while to shift to the post-Halloween Holiday mindset after October. But it helps to get in that Christmas spirit when I can infuse a little twisted darkness into the otherwise bright and cheery time of year. If you’re like me and can’t get enough Ho-Ho-Horror this time of year, you may be just as excited as I am when a new Christmas horror film gets released.
I have a real soft spot for psycho Santas, and the new trailer that just dropped for Nightmare on 34th Street has me giddy with anticipation.
I’m also super jazzed that it’s a horror anthology, a subgenre I’m especially fond of.
In the film, coming this December from Wild Eye Releasing, a mysterious and psychopathic Santa Claus visits a small, rural town with a bag full of unusual gifts and twisted holiday stories featuring Krampus, a murderous St. Nick and killer carol singers that are certain to ruin the Christmas season forever.
The film, directed by James Crow, stars Caroline Boulton, Lucy Pinder, Dani Thompson, Ewen MacIntosh, Andy Gatenby, and Adam Greaves-Neal. It will be out 12/5 on digital.
Wild Eye is known for delivering wildly fun, campy goodness, and they are avid supporters of truly independent, low-budget filmmaking, which is something I greatly appreciate it. This isn’t for the arthouse crowd! This is for those who want to have a great time and enjoy all the bloody fun the genre has to offer.
Check out the intense and exceedingly creepy trailer below, and then mark your calendars for this nasty little holiday treat.
