The holiday spectacular returns for a sixth time! It's Horror for the Holidays!

We visit a boarding school with a group of Christmas killers who plan to summon a demon in The Sacrifice Game (2023). We then join a family driving to a holiday gathering who take a shortcut to nowhere in Dead End (2003). Come with us and meet a signalman who is just trying to do his job, but a pesky spectre keeps bothering him in The Signalman (1976). And then from there, let's enjoy a family Christmas at home, with some parents who probably wish that they had not been so creative, with a favorite episode from Tales from the Darkside.

A ship reappears after having been missing for seven years. Obviously, complete disregard for safety tells us that we have to go check it out, right? And where did this ship go for seven years? Another dimension? Maybe hell? Oh, yeah. This is going to go well. And the ship is in space, of course. This is the voyage of the starship, Event Horizon (1997).

More child trauma? Two episodes in a row? Apparently, we just can't get enough.

But, as the tagline for the movie says, "sooner or later, family secrets creep out." And in this movie, something actually does creep out! Lizzy Caplan, Antony Starr, and Cleopatra Coleman star in Cobweb (2023).

David Cronenberg's cathartic exercise on film, a result of a personal custody battle, is not all body horror. There is genuine child and family trauma at its core. And because of that, The Brood (1979) is not always a pleasant watch. Perhaps Cronenberg's most personal film, it still packs quite a punch some 45 years later.
