Ho ho horror! In this holiday-themed episode of Monster Men, the guys dive into the twisted world of Christmas horror movies, breaking down some of the best, worst, and weirdest seasonal slashers ever made. From genre classics like Black Christmas and Silent Night, Deadly Night, to modern holiday chaos like Violent Night and the cult favorite Anna and the Apocalypse, we talk what works, what doesn’t, and why Christmas might be horror’s most underrated holiday. Along the way, the conversation (naturally) goes off the rails — covering traditional Christmas movies, the nostalgia of Rankin & Bass specials, and the eternal debate: Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? So grab the milk and cookies, sharpen your axes, and settle in — because the Monster Men are coming to town. SubscribeIf you love horror movies, Christmas slashers, creature features, or just enjoy deep (and sometimes ridiculous) horror discussions, hit Subscribe and join the Monster Men family.
