Alonso Duralde, podcaster extraordinaire and author of Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas, returns to IDMB for the annual tradition of Christmas recommendations–this time with a bloody twist. On brand for 2020, Alonso’s recommendations for this year are Christmas horror films and they’re not the ones you’d expect: Curtis Harrington’s Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? (1972), Lewis Jackson’s Christmas Evil (1980), and Chris Peckover’s Better Watch Out (2016).
I had already seen Better Watch Out (I think when The Fear of God covered it), so the third film I added to this list was the more period-appropriate TV movie “Home for the Holidays. None of them were especially good, and Auntie Roo arguably isn’t a horror movie at all.
I’ll miss I Do Movies Badly, although at least there’s still The Cast of Cthulhu.
