Summary
Happy Holidays and welcome to Bob Clark's Creepy Christmas Spooktactacular, hosted by Nightmare on Film Street. Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon for a freakshow variety show like no other, jam-packed with musical numbers, cocktail tutorials, and uh- sad discussions about the horrors of the Vietnam war.
Sprinkled in there, we're also talking about the subtle, haunting brilliance of Bob Clark's Deathdream (aka Dead of Night)- the understated precursor to his classic Black Christmas (1974). Sure, it's not *technically* a Christmas movie we've got some pretty strong arguments for why this maybe-vampire, possibly-zombie, definitely-trauma laden chiller might just be a secret holiday horror. Join usssss...
