GBW #76: "On Slasher, On Dancer..." (Don't Open Till Christmas / Jack Frost [1997] / Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2)

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, Ryan and Chris kick off the holiday season the only way they know how with three trashy Christmas-set slasher films. We start with 1984's "Don't Open Till Christmas," which just received a spectacular new Blu-ray courtesy of Vinegar Syndrome. We discuss the film's wild behind-the-scenes woes and argue that it still turns out to be a solid and surprisingly downbeat slasher. Then, we move onto 1997's "Jack Frost," a film whose VHS cover is forever burned into the brains of elder millennial video store dirtbags, but for the film itself? Not so much. Finally, we arrive at "GARBAGE DAY!" for 1987's infamous, haphazardly-constructed, yet still highly entertaining "Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2."
