Four years before Silent Night, Deadly Night sparked a moral outcry — a movie which critic Gene Siskel called “contemptible” — another slasher used Santa Claus’ image for its own bloodthirsty story. However, To All a Goodnight managed to avoid all the hand-wringing from panicky parents and busybodies only due to the fact that most people didn’t even know this movie existed. Not much has changed whenever it’s mentioned today.
Had David Hess and Alex Rebar’s Santa slasher been granted a larger theatrical rollout back in 1980, perhaps it would have been the target of what many deem the greatest moral uproar in horror history. It’s no exaggeration to say there was an overreaction to Silent Night, Deadly Night; from the creation of advocacy groups to one psychologist fearing the movie would undo kids’ potty training, the hubbub surrounding Charles Sellier’s Christmasploitative slasher was unprecedented for the time.

We’re celebrating the holidays with the latest episode in the Best Horror Movie You Never Saw video series, taking a look back at the 1980 slasher To All a Good Night (watch it Here). Never heard of it before? Well, you can find out all about it in the video embedded above.
To All a Good Night is the sole feature directorial effort of David Hess, who is best known to genre fans for playing the role of Krug in Wes Craven’s The Last House on the Left. Working from a screenplay by Alex Rebar, Hess brought us a film that has the following synopsis:
Beautiful prep-school students face yuletide horror when a killer dressed like Santa Claus arrives on campus.
Yep, that’s really all there is to it. And what more could you possibly need?

There are so many actors to remember and so little time to do it sometimes. Just kidding, we have plenty of time, but if you remember Jennifer Runyon it could be that you’ve seen Ghostbusters and got a kick out of her time as a college student or have seen Charles in Charge and seen her as Gwendolyn Pierce. But then again, you might have seen her a bunch of different things since her career has been going fairly steady for the last few decades as she’s still active to this day but hasn’t been a huge star for a

“It sure doesn’t feel much like Christmas.”
Growing up in Minnesota summers that seemed both endless and much-too-short, I always got a kick out of seeing “Christmas in July” advertisements, especially when I was digging through the previous week's newspaper in search of the Sunday comics after a sun-drenched week at summer camp. Along with slashed-down prices, the ads usually featured some version of a vacationing Santa kicking back on a pool float with a tropical shirt, sunglasses, and a dollop of sunscreen on his nose. This marriage of Christmas and July seemed odd to me. Other than occasionally wishing that a North Pole breeze would blow in on those sweltering summer days, Santa Claus and Christmas were distant memories when there was baseball, barbeques, and a tall stack of Goosebumps books from the library to keep up with.
But those ads must have done the trick, because years...

A horror anthology fan for many years, I’ll admit I was excited for Terror Tales, and I so wish that it had delivered. Firstly, The Wrapround Story… When a vacationing family are abducted on the road by a psychopath, known only as The Driver, they are told three tales of terror whilst being subjected to violence and mind games, their fate hanging in the balance.
We start with tale number one, By Proxy. I would love to tell you what the segment is actually about, but I honestly don’t think I know myself. Famous writer Susan McKay is, I think, struggling to cope with her young Sons suicide, or so it seems. It then becomes apparent,...

He's also collaborated with such artists as Lords of Acid, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult and The Egyptian Lover. In 2015 he shot Meathook Massacre on S-vhs in Lincoln, Ne.
The film followed 3 young women who encounter car trouble on the way to a concert and are forced to go find help. However, they stumble upon a masked Maniac wielding a Meathook and all goes quickly sour. It became an instant cult classic after it was released on both VHS and VOD.

Remember 1984’s “GhostSmashers” aka “GhostStoppers”? Of course you do. With a star-studded cast featuring John Belushi (Peter Venkman), Dan Aykroyd (Ray Stantz), Jeff Goldblum (Egon Spengler), Eddie Murphy (Winston Zeddemore), John Candy (Louis), Sandra Bernhard (Janine) and Paul Reubens (Ivo Shandar/Gozer), the future-set supernatural comedy in which roving teams of ghost catchers protect humanity from the supernatural, directed by Ivan Reitman, cost a whopping $300 million to make, featured hundreds of monsters, including a giant marshmallow man, and spawned not one but two sequels; the second of which got smoothly underway recently with the full, gracious participation of all of the original cast.
Ok, all of that happened in a parallel universe, where casting decisions went the other way, Dan Aykroyd’s original script got the green light, where perhaps dogs and cats live together in mass hysteria...but we got “Ghostbusters” instead. We wouldn't trade.

Introduction:
Is there a better time to watch horror movies than on Saturday night? Be it alone or with friends, with beer or without, there’s just something about letting the stresses of the week slip away in the presence of a deranged killer, a zombie apocalypse, alien invaders, hungry vampires, werewolf orgies (if you haven’t seen Howling II, shame on you!) or any such combination.
As a kid, there was nothing more exciting than staying up late on Saturday night and prowling the channels for late-night horror programming. Being exposed to things like Day of the Dead, The Howling, Race with the Devil and Black Christmas before the age of ten certainly helped contribute to my demented modern day state of mind. Before my parents even knew what was happening, I was disavowing any and all interest in spots, cub scouts and anything else kids do, in favor...

Be it alone or with friends, with beer or without, there’s just something about letting the stresses of the week slip away in the presence of a deranged killer, a zombie apocalypse, alien invaders, hungry vampires, werewolf orgies (if you haven’t seen Howling II, shame on you!) or any such combination.
As a kid, there was nothing more exciting than staying up late on Saturday night and prowling the channels for late-night horror programming. Being exposed to things like Day of the Dead, The Howling, Race with the Devil and Black Christmas before the age of ten certainly helped contribute to my demented modern day state of mind.

Someone over at Netflix (and, more specifically Netflix's 'Watch Instantly' department) has been digging into my brain and pulling out some really strange and obscure movies that (as far as I know) aren't even available on DVD! The last time out, I was gushing over titles like Rolling Thunder, The Squeeze, and Planet of the Vampires -- but this time the Netflix VHS Stack is overflowing with wierd little flickers. Get a load of these ones:
The 1986 comedy Modern Girls, starring Cynthia Gibb, Daphne Zuniga, Virginia Madsen, and Clayton Rohner. I actually saw this one during its theatrical run. Some of the Animal House guys (Tim Matheson, Stephen Furst) team up with one of the Porky's guys (Dan Monahan) and the Esp hottie from Ghostbusters (Jennifer Runyon) to deliver one of the more fondly-remembered sex comedies of 1984: Up the Creek! Also features a cool Cheap Trick song and a great performance by a dog.
