Short Horror Reviews: Christmas
After reviewing so many heartwarming and sentimental films revolving around Christmas, the more cynical part of me was practically screaming for something dark and twisted. So with the 25th just a day away, I thought it would be fun to scour the vast field of YouTube for some short films that bring horror to the season of candy canes, mistletoe, and mugs of hot cocoa. If you're in the mood for a good Christmasy scare, try curling up in a dark room lit only by Christmas lights and watching these spooky shorts:
