Navidad de Terror Marathon 2019
[Note: I decided to cut that attempt short this year but I'm definitely interested to revisit in 2020 and try with more preparation and enthusiasm - at the end of 2019 I'm just too exhausted to try and challenge myself more than usual, which was already the case for most of the year]
I decided to make a marathon based on the lovely commercial from 2009: DirecTV: Navidad de Terror (2007). Featuring Christmas setting and a bizarre selection of villains and horror characters it is a perfect fit of my idiosyncrasies definition of "winter fun".
Anyhow, based on the commercial I decided to include at least one (more is welcome, though) movie or title with:
-Song "Silent Night" (Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht) by Franz Xaver Gruber and Joseph Mohr;
-Darth Vader from Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977);
-Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984);
-Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th: Part 3 (1982);
-Since Jason Voorhees is depicted with a chainsaw, I'm also including any chainsaw-wielding characters, with the closest fit for this commercial obviously being Leatherface from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974);
-Dracula;
-Chucky from Child's Play (1988);
-The Mummy, either classic Universal character(s)/franchise originated in The Mummy (1932) or variations of such;
-Hannibal Lecter;
-Sadako/Samara from Ringu (1998) and other installments of the same franchise;
-The Wolf Man from The Wolf Man (1941), other Universal movies featuring him or other werewolfs.
So, overall we have 11 subjects to cover with at least one movie/title (could be episodes, commercials, etc.). As usual, priority is given to movie I haven't seen yet.
