Jerry Horror stuffs the stocking with controversy and cracked candy canes in this very naughty Christmas Spectacular. This is the slasher that turned Santa into a public menace and inspired a full-blown moral panic, complete with a protest group called Citizens Against Movie Madness and an entire hour of Phil Donahue devoted to asking, βWonβt someone please think of the children?β π πͺ
Originally sleighing through production under the title Slayride, the studio changed course at the last minute and unleashed a holiday shocker that opened the same weekend as a certain dream-stalking icon. For one brief, blood-soaked moment, it even out-grossed him before the backlash hit harder than a lump of coal, sending ticket sales plummeting by the second weekend. π πͺ
Jerry unwraps the history, the hysteria, and the holiday havoc of a film that proved Christmas can be cozy, controversial, and extremely dangerous. So pour the eggnog, lock the chimney, and rememberβ¦Santa is watching. π πͺ
