I bet Christopher Reeve disapproved.

She was really gorgeous. Great smile.

Agreed about SISTERS, agent999. She was also excellent in THE REINCARNATION OF PETER PROUD.

I watched CHRISTMAS EVIL last night, I'm really fond of this one. The ending is so goofy, yet touching at the same time. Love the Frankenstein-inspired scene where the townsfolk chase Santa. Trying to work up the nerve (or drink enough) to sit through TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT again.

I need to rewatch that. I feel like I wasn't fully focused on it when I watched it the first time so I didn't get that into it.

It is in my top 3 horror-comedies, just a brilliant movie.

That sounds promising. I'm kind of surprised no one has done it already. There's definitely a wealth of material to cover.

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals! There was a mention of a British movie called Mother Krampus earlier but I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned Krampus (2015). I'm don't know if I'd ever come across the Krampus story before watching. I quite liked it as a sub-Dante style of Xmas horror.

I saw it in the theater back then...but I'll be damned if I can remember anything about it now. I do recall sort of liking it but not falling hard. There were a bunch of cheap straight-to-disc knockoffs on the shelves around that time. I had never heard of the Krampus legend either before the film.

GREMLINS, it's rare that a X-mas goes by without my throwing this on. And i do need to catch up with RARE EXPORTS one of these days.

They'd be a great Xmas double-bill together!

I think the first time I had ever heard of the Krampus legend was in the Peter Ustinov-narrated THE SEARCH FOR SANTA CLAUS (1981). That said, I had not seen the 2015 Hollywood offering in a few years and didn't have it in my collection. It was listed on Amazon for $5, so I picked it up. I enjoyed it well enough, yet I still had problems with the grim conclusion. It wasn't a bad ending, I just didn't think it possessed the right tone for this particular film. I know it would have been a totally different outcome, but I was fully expecting an equally bizarrely-depicted St. Nicholas to arrive and defeat his arch-nemesis. That would have been perfect, for me anyway.
