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...

about two Christmas kind of horror movies from Uncle Bob. Okay we just wanted to talk about Black Christmas again and we knew that Bob Clark had a couple of other horror movies in his arsenal and we picked this one, which is called Death Dream or Dead of Night?
