There are few things I love more than Christmas Horror, which has become a full-on subgenre in the years since early holiday horror movies like Tales from the Crypt, Christmas Evil and Silent Night, Deadly Night first brought killer Santas to the screen. There are HUNDREDS of Christmas Horror movies out there, and a documentary is even soon on the way…
Kieran Nolan Jones, the director and producer of the upcoming documentary Teen Screams, lets us know this week that Yuletide Horror will explore Christmas horror folklore & cinema!
“Featuring interviews with horror experts, filmmakers & scholars, Yuletide Horror will charter the history of the holiday season’s roots, from disturbing folklore from around the world, to the genre’s proliferation and unyielding appeal in modern day horror cinema.
“While exploring the key and varied cinematic staples of the sub-genre, the documentary will investigate its cultural influences, as well as uncover the themes and subtext which sit menacingly underneath the Christmas tree.”
Directed by Ethan Evans (The Haunted Museum, Time Out), and co-produced by Jess Bartlett (Time Out, Stagnant) and Kieran Nolan Jones (Teen Screams), the documentary will be co-written by the trio. Yuletide Horror is a co-production between Evans’ and Bartlett’s Terror Arcade and Nolan Jones’ Hellmouth Pictures label.
The documentary will be sneaking down your chimney in 2023.
