Summary

Ring in the New Year with blood, bodies, and bad decisions as Darcy the Mail Girl from The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs breaks down the wild, weird, and way-too-small subgenre of New Year’s Eve horror movies! Darcy explains why New Year’s Evil is the undisputed king of NYE slashers, what makes Terror Train such a strange Jamie Lee Curtis classic, and why you shouldn’t sleep on (pun intended) Bloody New Year! They talk killer DJs, murders across time zones, creepy masks, train slashers, haunted hotels frozen in time, revenge pranks gone wrong, and the bizarre logic behind what does, and does NOT, count as “New Year’s horror”! (Christine? Ghostbusters II? Gremlins?) Plus, why so many holiday horror movies have disappeared from streaming, why physical media still matters, and Darcy’s ultimate New Year’s Eve horror watchlist if you’re staying in and counting down to midnight at home!
