Secret Santa (aka Christmassacre 2015) – SSP241
Holiday Horrorshow: It’s a #Christmassacre! Folks, I don’t know who this “Karen” is, but she ain’t sending no fruitcake this year. She’s got the goods, the bad goods, the kind of holiday cheer that ends with an axe handle to the skull! This week, your “Scary Spirits” crew—that’s Karen and some guy named Greg—are strapping in for a festive slice of cinematic sleaze that knows how to put the massacre back in Christmas. We’re talking about the 2015 low-budget holiday horror flick, Secret Santa (or as the cool kids and the drive-in marquee call it, Christmassacre)! Will the interperonal drama be less painful than the gore? Will the special effects look like a melted snowman? And exactly how many cocktails does it take to get through a flick where Santa’s sleigh is replaced by a meat wagon? They’re downing a special, holly-jolly-spooky concoction they call the “Candy Cane Margarita.” Trust me, that drink’s probably got more kick than the movie, but you gotta listen to find out! Get ready for: #HolidayHorror: Not your grandma’s Christmas special. #SlasherFilm: A body count that will make your stocking blush. #BMovie: The best kind of bad cinema, 2015-style. #MovieReview: Karen and Greg break down the cheese and the carnage. #CultClassic: Is this the next great trash gem? Tune in, turn up the volume, and prepare for a Christmas that’s anything but silent.
