Tales from the Crypt (1972) #25DaysofCreepmas

Posted on December 6, 2019 by Ahlissa Eichhorn • Leave a comment

Christmas and homicide go together like coffee and pumpkin pie. There’s something so enthralling about a woman being strangled with tinsel and a man being impaled by an icicle with melodic carols softly playing in the background. This little beaut is the novelization for the 1972 movie, which features the murderous holiday segment ‘And All … Continue reading →

The Krampus and the Old, Dark Christmas (2016) #25DaysofCreepmas

Posted on December 5, 2019 by Ahlissa Eichhorn • Leave a comment

Happy Krampusnaucht! Today is the day we celebrate that old Christmas Devil that is every horror fan’s answer to celebrating the holidays with some edge. Here I have an entertaining history book on Krampus (a biography, if you will) that lays out where he came from, why he does what he does, and why we … Continue reading →

The Woman in Black (1983) #25DaysofCreepmas

Posted on December 4, 2019 by Ahlissa Eichhorn • Leave a comment

The tradition of telling ghost stories around an open fire is long since past (I’m sounding like a god blessed carol here), mainly because we don’t scare as easily anymore and we can’t sit by our relatives that long without needing a break. The Woman in Black starts out with our narrator and his family … Continue reading →

Ghosts of Christmas Past (2017) #25DaysofCreepmas

This anthology is an assortment of tastes. There’s some tame stories in here, a particularly festive tale or two, and some that are suitable for year round. And of course, a Christmas ghost story collection wouldn’t be complete without the addition of M.R. James. Not everyone is going to enjoy every single story in here … Continue reading →

Misery (1987) #25DaysofCreepmas

Posted on December 2, 2019 by Ahlissa Eichhorn • Leave a comment

A combination of insanity and claustrophobia is the shortest way to describe Misery.  A lot of King’s novels are set during the winter, which I think is a great setting for conveying a sense of hopelessness. The snow and ice are brute forces that hold you down but when the brute is human, in the … Continue reading →

Dead of Winter (2010) #25DaysofCreepmas

Posted on December 2, 2019 by Ahlissa Eichhorn • Leave a comment

I’m kicking off #25DaysofCreepmas with a black-as-coal, cold-as-ice short story collection by Kealan Patrick Burke. I read this for the first time in last year, alongside some other Christmas horror collections, and it stood out tremendously. It’s a mix of winter & holiday themes and damn, they really drive the horror home. My favorite story … Continue reading →
