‘Tis the season to watch holiday-themed horror, so we here at Arrow in the Head have decided to compile a list of the Best Christmas Horror Movies! All of the films below are, at the very least, set around Christmastime, and some of them take the connection to the holidays further than that. Here are the top 12 horror movies that we recommend checking out over the next week:

I Come In Peace (1990)

It’s easy to forget that I Come in Peace (a.k.a. Dark Angel) is set around the Christmas holiday, because Christmas is mostly just represented by some set decorations – and you’re distracted from those decorations by all the awesome stuff going on around them. Dolph Lundgren stars as Jack Caine, a Houston detective who doesn’t play by the rules. He’s stuck working with stuffy, suit-wearing FBI agent Larry Smith (Brian Benben), and these...

Quick Links Wes Bentley Is Delightfully Chilling as a Homicidal Maniac in 'P2' 'P2' Deserves to Be a Christmas (And Non-Christmas) Horror Staple Roger Ebert Was Right (And Many Other Critics Were Wrong) About 'P2'

Wes Bentley has demonstrated an uncanny ability throughout his career to act with his eyes. In the Part 2 premiere of the fifth and final season of Yellowstone, the anguished stare of Bentley’s character, the tortured Jamie Dutton, reflects the self-loathing and shock of an adopted black-sheep son who ordered a hit on his father, Yellowstone patriarch John Dutton, far more effectively than any amount of dialogue could.

Bentley’s haunting, merciless stare has enabled the actor to play many memorable villain roles, as seen with his performances as demon Blackheart in Ghost Rider, bloodthirsty game-maker Seneca Crane in The Hunger Games, and corrupt politician Adleman Lusk in Jonah Hex,...

Christmas may be the season of joy and goodwill, but for horror fans, it’s also the perfect time for festive fright. Snow-covered streets, twinkling lights, and the cheerful sound of carols make the ideal backdrop for chills, screams, and yuletide terror. If you’re in the mood for killer Santas, haunted holidays, and seasonal slashers, this list of Christmas horror films will make your holidays frightfully fun.

Let’s dive into The 12 Frights for Christmas, where every film is a bloody gift for your inner horror fanatic.

12 Frights for Christmas 1. Black Christmas (1974)

The Original Christmas Slasher

Long before Michael Myers stalked babysitters, Black Christmas terrified audiences with its chilling tale of a killer targeting sorority sisters during the holidays. With unsettling phone calls and a shocking ending, this cult classic is a must-watch.

Why It Slays: It’s the blueprint for holiday horror and one of the earliest examples...

It’s the official season of the macabre and the weird , folks. Therefore, people are scrambling to assemble their watch lists for Halloween because some people like to stay in. And sure, I think watching Halloween (1978) every year as a tradition is a great way to spend the holiday. I also think that trying something new is great too, and that means a specific set of recommendations. What exactly? Cat and mouse horror movies.

Cat and mouse is one of those heart pounding subgenres in horror. Watching people be relentlessly pursued and have to hide from a threat is terrifying. And that’s more specifically if it’s executed properly. Adding one of the following films to your watchlist might make for a bloody good time. So kick back and get ready because these cat and mouse horror films are stressful (in the best way).

Also, have a safe and...

Plex is gearing up for an exciting lineup of films and series in November 2024. Viewers can look forward to a variety of new additions, including Blue Ridge, But I’m A Cheerleader, Call Jane, and Empire State. Cult classics like The Grudge, Hard Candy, House of 1000 Corpses, and The Midnight Meat Train are also hitting the platform, alongside more recent hits like Wind River and Where’d You Go, Bernadette? For fans of horror, thrillers, and emotional dramas, there’s no shortage of options. However, Plex is also bidding farewell to a number of films and shows in November. Among those leaving are 24 Hours to Live, Drive Angry, The Devil’s Rejects, Snowpiercer, and USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage. If you’ve been meaning to watch these titles, now is the time to catch them before they disappear. For those looking to binge their favorites, many notable titles are still available for streaming.

Before rewatching Mirrors (get it Here), I was a little confused as to why it’s either forgotten or, honestly, kind of hated on. It was one of those movies that I saw in theaters when it came out and then have clear memories of when it came to my Blockbuster for rent. It’s got a fun cast of reliables and was directed by one of the early 2000s freshest and goriest directors. The director has gone on to have a steady and varied career and his new movie starring Halle Berry called Never Let Go sounds as intriguing as ever. After watching Mirrors again, I still really enjoyed it, but I now understand why it has the reputation it has and why it’s perfect for a black sheep. Let’s take a look but maybe be wary of any mirrors that don’t look exactly right.

When...

We’ve talked a lot about what makes a black sheep a black sheep. It can be a number of things really. We look at horror series and see what the underappreciated or even outright hated ones are to lift them up and defend them. It can also be a relatively underseen or unknown entity in the career of an actor, director, or series of films to shine a light and get it on more radars. A black sheep can be seen as bad at the time of its release (or even now) and just needs someone to speak of the positives for the flick. The Gate II (get it Here) is, well, it’s all of that. It’s a mostly underseen and unknown movie in a short horror series that is not really loved by the people who have seen it. With the first movie in the series being a spooky kids classic,...

Sega has enjoyed a fortunate year as its sales revenue jumped 20 percent, as per its latest financial report ending March 31, 2024. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Reload were among the major factors in this drive, but Rovio’s acquisition pushed the company’s revenue higher. Both of these games sold over a million copies within a week of their launch.

Apart from games, Sega had a successful journey in the film industry, as it saw Sonic the Hedgehog find its place in the sun. The company desires to expand the reach of its IPs, but before that, it may throw a lot of content from the Like a Dragon and Persona franchises.

Sega Should Focus on Quality if it is to Release Those Games

The original Persona 3 was released in 2006.

Sega must have its hands full if the recent reports surfacing on the internet are true. The company is potentially planning new titles,...

With the holiday themed horror title Thanksgiving finally hitting theaters a mere 13 years after the trailer first appeared in Grindhouse, we wanted to know what Holiday themed horror film has been your favorite? Do you like the kid friendly mogwai’s who can’t get wet of Gremlins, the singing zombies of Anna and the Apocalypse or is the original holiday slasher Black Christmas still your go to? With Halloween already in our rear view, we are keeping this poll to the holidays that fall in November and December. As always, if you don’t see your favorite listed, click “Other” and let us know what it is in the comments section.

Who on earth would want to release a horror movie in November?! That’s like showing up to Thanksgiving dinner on a full stomach or going for a jog after a marathon. Surely, studios don’t purposefully plan to release their movie during the four weeks After the entire world is consumed with the dead, dying, maimed and dismembered, right? The calendar says spooky season is over (although you and I know differently) and as the grumpy neighbor in Halloween II says, the general audience has “been trick or treated to death” by October’s end.

On the contrary, November Horror has had some shockingly great runs over the years. And maybe there’s a method to the madness. If horror fans are lucky, October is packed tighter than a Black Friday sale at Target during a live in store Taylor Swift performance. Why not wait a couple of weeks...

Stars: Camille Rowe, Jeremy Scippio, Stasa Stanic | Written by Franck Khalfoun, Glen Freyer | Directed by Franck Khalfoun

Night of the Hunted, the latest film from Franck Khalfoun is a remake, but not of Jean Rollin’s 1980 paranoid thriller of the same name, though that would be a logical choice for rebooting in these conspiracy-riddled times. Instead, he and co-writer Glen Freyer have reworked and updated Rubén Ávila Calvo and David R.L.’s 2015 Spanish thriller Night of the Rat.

This film begins in a hotel room where Alice is talking to her husband on the phone, we hear something about an appointment with a fertility specialist before she hurriedly hangs up as John enters the room. Driving back to town in the pre-dawn darkness they make a stop for gas despite Jiohn’s insistence that he filled the tank the day before. Alice goes in to grab some snacks, and as...

Ever since the world first watched her on Flip Or Flop, Christina Hall has been a favorite in the TV design world. Christina is on her third marriage and has built a life with Joshua Hall, who also works in real estate. Christina and Joshua Hall have a quiet life, although she does share many photos of him on Instagram.

When comparing Christina Hall and Tarek El Moussa's net worths, Christina has more money. And that is partly because she got her own HGTV series Christina On The Coast after Flip Or Flop ended. Christina also starred in the spin-off series Christina In The Country and shared her life in Tennessee. Did fans tune into Christina In The Country in record numbers? And do people think that Christina Hall still puts out great design content?

Was The HGTV Series Christina In The Country A Success?

In this special holiday edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be covering Franck Khalfoun’s overlooked urban horror movie, P2.

From gothic castles to isolated suburbs, horror stories are usually set far away from bustling urban centers. While there are occasional examples of urban horror flicks, such as Candyman and Maniac Cop, writers usually tend to avoid heavily populated areas because the abundance of people means that it’s harder to believe our main characters are actually in danger.

However, any fan of True Crime will tell you that being around other people doesn’t necessarily guarantee your safety, as many (if not most) horrific deaths do in fact happen in large cities, with onlookers and law enforcement often being unable -or unwilling- to intervene when something terrible happens. It’s real stories like these that inspired 2007’s P2, an underrated urban thriller that dives into the very plausible...

Speed is something of a universal language, so it’s no surprise that “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” — a show with plenty of it — has become a Netflix sports doc staple. Following the drivers and teams on the international Formula 1 open-wheel racing circuit, the series tracks the on- and off-track exploits of some of the world’s top drivers as they navigate treacherous road courses and the persistent drama of a high-stakes, high-reward enterprise.

It’s a method the show returns to again and again, but the tension of these drivers lined up at the starting grid waiting for the signature five red lights to disappear and signal the start of the race is as primal an idea as you can get in the sports world. Going from nothing to all-out exertion, even if it’s done with the aid of a finely honed, multi-million-dollar vehicle is something to build a show around.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Tournament of Houses worked some magic on ratings. The Nov. 28 premiere of the four-part Wizarding World fan competition series drew 3.1 million viewers across TBS and Cartoon Network, delivering the most-watched premiere of the year for both WarnerMedia cable networks which simulcast the debut.

On TBS, the 8 p.m. opener drew 2.3 million viewers, 918k in P18-49, 577K P25-54, 100K K2-11 and 103K K9-14, in Live+Same Day, ranking as the top new cable unscripted series premiere of 2021 in P18-49 (L+Sd), it was the strongest TBS Original Series premiere — scripted or unscripted — in nearly three years in P2+ and the strongest TBS Original Series premiere in nearly four years among P18-49.

On Cartoon Network, the 8 pm series premiere drew 845K P2+, 299K P18-49, 132K P2-11 and 78K K9-14. The debut episode was up 16% among P2-11 and up 44% among...

The following contains major spoilers from the Season 4 premiere of ABC’s The Rookie.

Following a rollout of promos, episodic photos and a poster that had fans fretting about the fate of a conspicuously Mia character, The Rookie showrunner Alexi Hawley told TVLine that the Season 4 premiere would “almost immediately” confirm the fate of Officer Jackson West, who was played by original cast member Titus Makin.

The reveal of Psychonauts 2‘s upcoming invincibility toggle has reignited an increasingly frustrating debate over video game difficulty.

In case you missed it, the Xbox team recently sent out a tweet that simply read “Beating the game on the lowest difficulty is still beating the game.” While that tweet proved to be controversial enough with those who strongly disagree with that seemingly simple sentiment (more on that in a bit), things really got interesting when Psychonauts 2 developer Double Fine decided to weigh in on the topic.

If you beat Psychonauts 2 with the invincibility toggle on, you still beat P2. https://t.co/OinBv1nuNr

Interestingly, that happened to be the first time Double Fine mentioned that Psychonauts 2 will include an invincibility toggle. While Double Fine later joked about their response to this tweet, they did confirm that Psychonauts 2 will indeed have an invincibility option and that...

The season finale of Tyler Perry’s The Oval scored big numbers last Wednesday night. Over 3.2 million viewers P2+ tuned into the season finale of the drama via BET and BET Her with 2.9 million viewers tuning in to BET alone. On top of that, the second episode of the two clocked in as the series’ highest-rated episode.

Over 3 Million Total viewers P2+ tuned in during last Wednesday’s premiere and grew its audience double digits. “Tyler Perry’s The Oval” delivered its highest-rated episode in the season.

The final two episodes of the first season grew its audience +54% versus L+Sd logging double-digit ratings lift +52% (Episode #124) and +55 % (Episode #125). In addition, Tyler Perry’s The Oval took the #1 spot for the night for African Americans P18-49, P25-54, and P2+ respectively. The drama is also the #1 new scripted series on cable for general market viewers P2+ since Q4 2019. The season...

If you've listened to our Corpse Club member-exclusive episode, then you know we're big fans of Junji Ito, the imaginative mind behind so many memorable manga creations, including Tomie, which is moving forward as an adaptation series on Quibi with Alexandre Aja directing, David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick writing, and Adeline Rudolph starring in the lead role.

A premiere date and release schedule for Tomie has yet to be announced, but we'll keep Daily Dead readers updated as more details are announced. In the meantime, we have additional info below, and in case you missed it, Aja discussed the Tomie series when we interviewed him last year for his new movie Crawl.

In January, the Atlanta-based hip-hop producer TM88 received an urgent call from the rapper Lil Uzi Vert, who was craving a beat reminiscent of his hit “Xo Tour Llif3.” Over the next few days, the two men spent hours on FaceTime perfecting a track together. “He’s like, ‘take that out [of the beat], do this,’ I’m doing it, sending it back,” TM88 recalled recently. “I’m telling him what I don’t like about the lyrics. The whole time I was babysitting my daughter.” The result was “P2,” the closing track...

Lil Uzi Vert is utterly dominant on the latest Rolling Stone Top 100 Songs chart, with tracks from his new album Eternal Atake accounting for 14 of the Top 20.

The highest-performing songs matched up roughly with the album’s tracklist: The first song, “Baby Pluto,” debuted at Number One with nearly 33 million streams, the second song, “Lo Mein,” debuted at Number Three with more than 28 million streams, and the third song, “Silly Watch,” debuted at Number Four with 26.6 million streams. Other high performing tracks included “P2,” which knowingly echoes Uzi’s biggest hit,...

There is a thriving new genre of internet videos that document rap superstar Lil Uzi Vert descending from his celebrity perch to mingle with the people — walking (or running) among us, casually interfacing with his fans on sidewalks, at department stores, amusement parks, and festival grounds. When the flow of new Uzi music slowed considerably after his 2017 album Luv is Rage 2, these videos helped fill that void. In the best one, he hops off his Atv and strides over to a group of kids sitting on a school bus. He’s like some mysterious,...

While aquatic horror can be fun any time of the year, there’s just something about a genre movie that pits human characters versus nature’s greatest water-bound predators during these warmer months that really puts me into the summertime mood. And with that in mind, you could say that I was already primed to enjoy Crawl even before the first bloodthirsty alligator snapped into action. Director Alexandre Aja, who already has some experience in this realm with his gore-tastic horror comedy Piranha 3D, proves here yet again that he’s a master manipulator of heightened tension and thrills, but he also delivers up a no-nonsense disaster/killer animal mash-up that doesn’t waste a single minute of its efficient 87-minute running time, and even gives us compelling characters (plus Sugar the dog!) that we give a damn about to boot.

[Note: With the film screening as part of this years Horror-On-Sea Film Festival, here's a reposting of our review of the seasonal slasher Once Upon a Time at Christmas]

Christmas horror is one of my favourite sub genres. It of course includes such classics as Gremlins, Black Christmas, Silent Night, Deadly Night and Krampus. But with a collection like mine, it also includes lesser known or cult classic titles such as P2, Santa’s Slay, Jack Frost and Rare Exports… to name but a few. So I am always on the look out for new holiday horror. Which is the reason I watched Once Upon A Time At Christmas well outside of the usual November/December time frame.

Once Upon A Time At Christmas is, in very basic terms, a slasher movie set at Christmas – which is no bad thing.

While we may already be a few months past the Christmas season, that doesn’t mean there aren’t still plenty of gifts to unwrap in the recent book Yuletide Terror: Christmas Horror on Film and Television, which features essays and interviews from an authoritative collective of writers who dig deep into everything we love about festive frights and seasonal scares. There are definitely several expected titles featured in Yuletide Terror, like Black Christmas and Silent Night, Deadly Night, but there are quite a few surprising topics that are included here as well that I really enjoyed because I knew little to nothing about them, resulting in a reading experience that was highly enjoyable and informative to boot.

Yuletide Terror starts off with the proverbial one-two punch of essays on the two aforementioned Christmas-themed horror films (I’d argue that both Bob Clark’s original Black Christmas and Silent Night,...

Our latest deep-dive into recent books on cinema is heavy on 2017 follow-ups. But there’s also a unique look at late Godard, a romp through holiday horror, and a visually inventive stroll through 101 memorable movies. Let’s march on, starting with every cinephile’s buddy, Guillermo del Toro.

Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water: Creating a Fairy Tale for Troubled Times by Gina McIntyre (Insight Editions)

Guillermo del Toro’s fairy tale romance The Shape of Water was heralded by some as one of 2017’s finest (I’m in that camp) or as 2017’s The Artist (boo). Wherever one stands in this debate, its aesthetic beauty is undeniable. In other words, Shape is more than deserving of the Insight Editions treatment. The book is a gorgeous concoction, filled with del Toro’s endearing sketches, effects tests, film stills, and, best of all, accompanying text that is smart and...

If you've been waiting to take another visit to 112 Ocean Avenue, your patience is about to be rewarded. Following several release date changes, Amityville: The Awakening will be released by Dimension Films this October, and we've been provided with a new clip from the film that features Bella Thorne investigating her new home's creepy confines.

From October 12th–November 8th, you can watch Amityville: The Awakening for free on Google Play, and the latest entry in the long-running franchise will also be released in select theaters on October 28th, just in time for Halloween.

We have additional details on the movie below, as well as the new clip (which debuted on EW), previously released trailer, and a set of photos. Will you be paying 112 Ocean Avenue a visit this October?

Originally scheduled to be dumped on January 2nd, 2015, Amityville: The Awakening — the fourteenth (!) movie in the Amityville movie saga — was removed from the calendar and eventually rescheduled for release this year. Dimension Films claims to have released a new trailer, but it's exactly the same as the one we posted in August of 2014, with the only exception being the date has been removed from the very end and replaced with the words "coming soon."

What is new, however, is the poster (above) that looks like an Instagram post, which I believe is the first movie poster to use that design. In any case, the movie itself looks like a retread of haunted house cliches, but horror buffs and Amityville completists (are there such people?) will probably want to check it out anyway.

Side note: this is apparently based on a true story, but seriously: how does a modern family move...

Way back in August 2014, Dimension Films released the first trailer for Amityville: The Awakening, which at the time, was scheduled to hit theaters on January 2, 2015. Just a month later, the studio yanked the film out of its release date, and we haven't heard anything about it since then. Today, The Weinstein Company has released yet another trailer, which features largely the same footage as the first teaser, with the movie now set for release on April 1. This thriller will be going up against Collide, God's Not Dead 2 and Rings.

Amityville: The Awakening is a revival of the popular franchise and a modern twist on the classic horror film. In the movie, Belle (Bella Thorne) and her family move into a new house, but when strange phenomena begin to occur, Belle begins to suspect her Mother isn't telling her everything and soon realizes they just moved into the infamous Amityville house.

It looks like The Weinstein Company are doing some shelf clearing in their Dimension Films division. Originally shot in 2014 under the title "Amityville: The Lost Tapes," this was originally slated to be released in early 2015, before it was yanked off the schedule. Now it's back on the calendar for release in just over a month with the new title, "Amityville: The Awakening."

Pack your bags, folks, Amityville village is calling once more. In what will be the 13th installment in the genre-defining franchise, Dimension Films and Blumhouse Productions are primed to situate the infamous supernatural tale in the modern age with Amityville: The Awakening.

Written and directed by Franck Khalfoun (Maniac, P2), the feature hues close to tradition by setting up the story of an average family moving into a new home – but this isn’t just any home. Having played host to a series of violent murders in the mid-70s, Bella Thorne’s teenage girl soon begins to realize that there’s something amiss under her family’s new roof, and it all appears to center around her bed-ridden brother (Cameron Monaghan).

Cue supernatural activity and nightmarish apparitions, with the official logline describing The Awakening as so: “Belle and her family move into a new house, but when strange phenomena...

Once set for a release over a year ago, it’s taking quite some time for The Weinstein Company to dump Amityville: The Awakening into theaters. Barring any future delays, the “revival” of the franchise will now arrive on April 1st, and while our hopes for it aren’t very high, Blumhouse has released an inventive new poster for the horror film.

Taking an note from their campaign for the single-screen horror Unfriended — which actually turned out to be great — the first effective poster utilizes the instantly recognizable Instagram frame as it teases the infamously villainous house. The Weinstein Company have also released the trailer, which is just the same one they let out of the gate early a few years back.

Directed by Franck Khalfoun (Maniac) and starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bella Thorne, Cameron Monaghan, Thomas Mann, and Kurtwood Smith, check out the trailer and poster below.

Amityville: The Awakening,...

Ahead of Amityville: The Awakening's April 1st debut, The Weinstein Company has unveiled a new Instagram-inspired poster featuring the familiar exterior of 112 Ocean Avenue.

"Amityville: The Awakening, is a revival of the popular franchise and a modern twist on the classic horror film.

In the film, Belle and her family move into a new house, but when strange phenomena begin to occur in the house, Belle begins to suspect her Mother isn’t telling her everything and soon realizes they just moved into the infamous Amityville house.

Amityville: The Awakening is directed by Franck Khalfoun (Maniac, P2) and produced by groundbreaking and top horror producer Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions (The Purge, Insidious, Paranormal Activity).

The film stars Oscar Nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight, Anamolisa, Single White Female), popular young actress Bella Thorne (Scream, Shake It Up) and up and comer Cameron Monaghan (Shameless, The Giver)."

Zac Efron's "We Are Your Friends" was unfriended by most of the country this weekend. The Edm movie, co-starring Wes Bentley and Emily Ratajkowski, was released on 2,333 screens but only made $1.8 million. That's not just short of the $8 million projection, it's also the worst wide-release launch of Efron's career and one of the worst openings of any studio film ever.

Entertainment Weekly culled the list of the top 10 worst wide-release movies ever, and "We Are Your Friends" ended up at No. 3, just behind "Delgo" and "Oogieloves In The Big Balloon Adventure." This movie actually did worse than the much-mocked "The Adventures of Pluto Nash" and marks Wes Bentley's second time on the list, since he was also in the horror movie "P2."

According to Variety, Warner Bros. only spent $2 million to acquire "We Are Your Friends." Warner Bros. distribution executive vice president Jeff Goldstein commented on the opening: "We're disappointed,...

Late last year, moviegoers followed Dr. Holden and his collegues into the ancient corridors of a cursed tomb in Grégory Levasseur's The Pyramid, now available to watch on Digital HD from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, with a Blu-ray and DVD release slated for May 5th. With viewers now able to explore the creepy confines of The Pyramid from the comfort of their couches, we caught up with Levasseur to discuss intertwining horror with Ancient Egyptian culture, revisiting The Hills Have Eyes shooting location, filming in tight spaces, and much more.

Thank you very much for taking the time to talk with us, Grégory. Ancient Egyptian culture is interwoven throughout The Pyramid and plays a big role in the onscreen scares. Were you interested in that era of history prior to directing the film?

Grégory Levasseur: I'm interested in history in general, but my Egyptian knowledges were pretty limited,...

(Cbr) Mummy movies used to be all the rage back in the day, with Universal Pictures and Hammer Films each having its own franchise (the former resurrected its property in 1999, and plans to do so again). Director Grégory Levasseur’s found-footage horror fillm The Pyramid marks a new chapter in the subgenre, as a group of archaeologists explores a newly unearthed pyramid that houses a murderous monster. It’s the directorial debut of Levasseur, who wrote the remakes of The Hills Have Eyes and Maniac, as well as P2 and High Tension.
