GBW #38: Ho Ho Horror (Christmas Evil / The Gingerdead Man / Blood Beat)

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more! This week, on our final episode for 2021, Ryan and Chris look at three films in a mutually favorite category that they both admit is largely bad: Holiday Horror Films. We start with 1980's perverse, character-driven killer Santa film "Christmas Evil," follow up with 2005's Full Moon Features clunker (though inexplicably spawned a franchise) "The Gingerdead Man," before wrapping up with one of the weirdest films to come from middle-of-nowhere Wisconsin with the all-too-common "family member gets possessed by the spirit of an ancient Samurai at Christmastime" trope, 1983's "Blood Beat."
