Unwrap the festive season with ARROW, who have announced their December gift of utterly twisted Christmas tales, J-horror classics and vicious video nasties.
Leading the lineup like Rudolph through the snow on December 5th is Eric Pennycoff’s The Leech, a hilarious and horrifying Christmas freakfest that’ll have you thinking twice about opening your home up to strangers when it’s snowing outside (US/UK/CA/IRE).
ARROW kicks off the first of December’s Seasons on the 9th with Fright Christmas (US/UK/CA/IRE), which features a selection of snowbound chills and thrills including the Adams family’s The Deeper You Dig and Christopher Webster’s 1993 tale of Satanic snowmobiling The Chill Factor.
December 12 gifts us with a Season of J-Horror Legends, a collection of some of the very best films of the sub-genre including Hideo Nakata’s Ringu and Takashi Miike’s One Missed Call. J-horror Legends coincides with ARROW release of Ju-on: The Grudge Collection for UK/IRE physical media fans.
As Christmas Day creeps closer, on December 23rd let the iconic voices of Vincent Price and Christopher Lee soothe your mind from the constant barrage of Christmas music, and snuggle up with Roy Ward Baker’s The Monster Club (1981) and Peter Duffell’s The House That Dripped Blood (1971).
December 23rd will also see the next Season collated in the theme of Video Nasties – a selection of movies deemed ‘too obscene’ by the government of ’80s Britain. The Driller Killer, Tenebrae and Blood Feast will all feature.
To close out the year on December 30th, US/CA audiences can enjoy two family favourites with Stepfather II (1989) and Stepfather III (1992). On the same day, US/UK/CA/IRE viewers will be able to stream Stanley Kubrick: The Invisible Man, Paul Joyce’s definitive and lasting tribute to one of the greatest film directors of all time.
