For all the holiday specials and Christmas movies.. Here are some that will be worth checking out this year if you are more in the spirit of holiday tales that are on the spooky side..
You can view some classics such as, The Twilight Zone's "Night Of The Meek", or spend a Christmas with The Addams Family in the episode "Christmas With The Addams Family". You can also check out the short animation, Elvira's Scary Christmas. If mystery is more your thing, tune into Alfred Hitchcock Presents "Santa Claus And The 10th Ave. Kid. Or if your feeling nostalgic, watch My So Called Life [a personal favorite] "So Called Angels". It goes without saying that The Nightmare Before Christmas is a MUST see this time of year as well as Edward Scissorhands! I also personally enjoy Bad Santa. I have had Black Christmas for a few years now and have yet to commit to watching it, maybe this year will be the year..
On a side note, Have you seen that Scott Weiland has a Christmas record out this year? If your not familiar with him, he is the lead vocalist of Stone Temple Pilots. I saw his music video the other day and thought it sounded pretty good! I have read that some musicians have been giving him a hard time about it, but I think it's nice to see a musician embrace the holidays and put together a record of songs that we all enjoy this time of year. Many very talented and classic musicians have been doing what he has for years, would you say Bing Crosby or Frank Sinatra was a sell out? No. There are plenty of musicians who cover other traditional music, such as Halloween music and we all love it when they do, so don't be so quick to judge! Give it a listen, it's better than you might think. ;)
And don't forget that this month you can see The Addams Family, the Musical at the Cadillac Palace in Chicago! Opening night is December 13th and it runs through the end of the month. ;)
I hope you all are enjoying this winter season thus far! :D
