Christmas Evil Blu-ray

British distributors 88 Films have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Lewis Jackson's film Christmas Evil (1980), starring Brandon Maggart, Jeffrey DeMunn, Dianne Hull, Mark Margolis, and Patricia Richardson. The release will be available for purchase on December 9.

Studio description: As a boy, Harry Stadling (Brandon Maggart) worshipped Santa Claus — until he caught his mommy rockin' around the Christmas tree with him. Now all grown-up and his memories of the holiday's forever twisted, Harry decides to don ol' Saint Nick's signature red jacket and long white beard and hit the streets, spreading some blood-soaked Christmas cheer of his own...

"Forget White Christmas, It's A Wonderful Life and all the other hackneyed trash," declared auteur of outrage, John Waters, "Go for the best seasonal film of all-time: Christmas Evil!" Making its long-awaited UK Blu-ray debut in a jingle bells and whistles edition from 88 Films, Lewis Jackson's disturbing shocker is an essential addition to your festive fright collection!
