Or possibly any other Krampus movie not shown in theaters. Including Krampus: The Christmas Devil, which may be worse than The Reckoning. Not quite sure about that. It’s a toss up really. While this movie was on however, I did fall asleep, so….
Look at those AWESOME special effects!!!
And since I mentioned, here’s a look at Krampus: The Christmas Devil. The chief was a decent actor, but no one else was. But why is everyone in the movie bald? And why does Santa walk a mile and a half to see his brother? And why is he a fat, old, drunk? DJ was so enraged by the B.S. that he turned it off 30 minutes in.
New Year’s Evil (1980)
Now, we may get shit for this one, but we hated it. See, this guy, named Evil (hahaha), starts killing people every time it hits New Year’s in a different time zone. I’m sorry if that’s not the weakest story line ever to begin with. But to add insult to injury his voice is irritating, not creepy. I wanted to hit something every time I heard him. And he looks bad, too. I realize not all serial killers wear the sign of the devil on their forehead, but c’mon, he’s ridiculous. The whole movie is boring and ridiculous.
Stalled (2013)
This loser janitor who makes bad choice after bad choice, gets stuck in a bathroom stall (get it?!) during Christmas/the zombie apocalypse. And after that, when the movie is supposed to get good, it stalls (get it?!). It’s boring as shit. And it is not as funny or clever as it seems to think it is.
Silent Night, Bloody Night (1972)
A man inherits a mansion which was once an asylum and then a serial killer invades. And apparently, NOTHING in 1972 was an emergency. ‘Oh, the sheriff is missing you say? I’m sure he’ll turn up. No big deal.’ It’s confusing and also very dark. So, you can’t even see what’s confusing you so badly. Ugh.
Silent Night, Gory Night
This is one we found simply because we watch horror anything. Which makes us question our life choices when this movie happens. But I will say that this makes you feel really good about yourself. Seriously, watch this when you’re feeling blue because suddenly you’ll know that you could act better and write better and direct better even if you had a nervous tick, no arms and were blind.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I met George Romero. He was the kindest and sweetest man. He talked to me for longer than he should have with the line getting longer. He also held my hand. And when he noticed the ladybug I have tattooed on my wrist, he said he liked it and asked me it's name. Till then, it had not had a name. Now, I call him George.
2. I love stickers. All stickers. I just adore them. I even ask for stickers for Christmas! As a matter of fact, the birthday that just past, every member of my immediate family gave me sticker packs as gifts. Affordable and extremely appreciated.
3. I have never put much stock in astrology or horoscopes, but I LOVE the magic of the MBTI. Omg. I am an INFP and it actually sounds just like me. Introverted mostly. Creative always. Heart before head and not the most logical. Totally me! For better or worse.
4. It's no surprise I count horror so high up on the list of things that make me, me. However, it's so within my soul that I was part of the Horror Club in college. Interesting bunch. And even took a Horror Lit class as an elective. I got an A.
5. Coffee always makes me happy. Always. I'm particularly fond of caramel macchiatos. But I'll drink black coffee if it's the only thing available.
6. I hate shock for the sake of shock and endings that depress me. I always mention the movies Within (2016) and the Eli Roth produced, written and starred in, Aftershock (2012), as proof of this distate I have. I abhor the idea that just because I like horror, some people think I'd actually praise a movie that lets you think the "Final Girl" just made it through the night, only to slap her in the face with a tsunami.
7. We are big time animal people. I mean, if I could, I'd have an elephant, a bear, a zebra, a penguin, an otter and a meerkat, living with me. Seriously though. We have 2 dogs right now and 2 cats. Both cats we picked up when they each came to our front door hungry. And both dogs we got from 2 different sets of neighbors. Both who, unfortunately, don't know how to care for pets long-term. But they're happy and healthy now!!
8. Revisiting my love of horror, one of the above cats, my cat, is a little black guy named Church. Because Pet Sematary. His middle name is even Pascow. To give credit where credit's due, the name was DJ's idea. But he loves horror too!
9. I'm big into art. Along with movie posters and an Anne Frank quote, I have some actual paintings on my wall. I really think Dali paints beautifully when he wants to. And if I don't get to see Michaelangelo's Pieta in person some day, I will be very disappointed.
10. Lastly, I find Emily Dickinson's poetry intriguing. I took an elective course about her as well. But do you know I injected horror even there? I was given a poem to dissect and I picked one on death, of course. Then, I researched old "Death Photos" and even printed out copies for everyone in the class. They were so interested in looking at them that it stopped them from all looking at me, and I was able to deal quite well with my stage fright. Haha
