MAGIC CHRISTMAS TREE
boxd.it/c2BHzV
A ★★★ review of Magic Christmas Tree (1964)
A fever dream of a movie that I probably would never have watched without the DSCS crew.

SANTA CLAUS

A ★★★ review of Santa Claus (1959)
Festive Mexican insanity fantasy. First time watching it sans the MST3K crew, and it's still so mockable. Still a good time though.

THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF SANTA CLAUS
boxd.it/c2uucF
A ★★★ review of The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus (1985)
2025 CFF DSCS Christmas Special I'm not even sure what I just watched . . . but it was weird and inappropriate and based on a L. Frank Baum book, so I LIKED IT!

Bumping this up a half star because watching with Joe Bob and Darcy on The Last Drive-In makes even the worst movie at least somewhat enjoyable. This really is probably due for a remake, because there...

True to the novel, but can't escape Kubrick's shadow.

32/100 on my Made-for-TV Horror Movies Watchlist.

THE SHINING
boxd.it/c1CeEb
A ★★★ review of The Shining (1997)
Stephen King has been pretty vocal about how much he disliked Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of his novel. So it's understandable why he would want to remake it, especially considering how personal...

THE MOONSHINER
boxd.it/bVwtSh
A ★★★ review of The Moonshiner (1904)
Folk Horror can also include fear of the government's oppression of "The Folk" too. Interesting early narrative film set in Appalachia, but nothing to write home about.

The novels Stephen King wrote under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman have proven to be some of his most prescient work. So it's no surprise that during these dystopian times we are living in here in A...

The original is still the best thanks mostly to James Wan's ability to crat some truly skin-crawling spooky sequences and the chemistry between Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga.
