Your Home for Horror

Join us for a holiday horror special as we explore the world of goat masks, Satanic nativities, and the art of being hilariously evil.

Join Jamie and Steph as they embark on a festive journey through the depths of Tubi’s horror selection, spinning the roulette wheel of despair with a Christmas twist. This week, the duo dives into the 2022 film Christmas Craft Fair Massacre, a bizarre horror flick set in Houston, Texas, where a Christmas fair becomes the stage for a coven of Satan worshippers plotting a demonic nativity.

Despite initial skepticism, Jamie and Steph find themselves unexpectedly charmed by Brett McCormick’s campy, B-movie homage to Texas horror. They explore the film’s self-aware silliness, appreciating its short runtime, witty dialogue, and intentionally over-the-top performances. From a Michael Myers-masked janitor to a satanic nativity scene, the film offers a delightful mix of absurdity and creativity.

Listen in as Jamie and Steph revel in the film’s unapologetic embrace of schlock, with standout moments like a punk rock rendition of Jingle Bells and a malevolent magnifying glass.

Christmas Craft Fair Massacre may not be a traditional horror masterpiece, but its quirky charm and playful spirit make it a holiday treat worth unwrapping.
