For some reason, there seems to be a lack of Christmas Horror movies this year. Thankfully, Shudder came down our chimney and delivered a huge present with A Creepshow Holiday Special.
Robert Weston (Adam Pally) has been going through a change. More specifically, he has been going through that change once a month when there is a full moon. Thankfully, someone referred him to Shapeshifters Anonymous. He is not really sure why, but they are there to help him.
As soon as Robert enters, he is greeted by Irena (Anna Camp). He tells her he thinks he is a Werewolf. She explains to him that even though they are the most popular of the shapeshifters, no one in the group is one. She shares with him that she is a Werecheetah, Scott (Peter Burris) is a Weretortoise, Andy (Frank Nicotero) is a Wereboar, Ryan (Derek Russo) is unknown, and Phyllis (Candy McLellan) is a furry.
The group decides to do a test on Robert to find out what he is. They also reveal to him their origin story that is as old as Adam and Eve. When they are done, they are all surprised to discover what he is. Not as surprised as when they find out that Santa Claus is coming to town.
You see, Kris Kringle is not the same man to them as we know him as. He was created to kill shapeshifters. Now, Old Saint Nick knows where they are, so he is bringing as many mall Santas with him to kill them all.
The Shapeshifters prepare for battle, and it is going to be a bloody one. It is Shapeshifters vs Santas, and their red suits will be covered in blood. Just when it looks like one side is winning, the real man in the red suit comes in to finish them off.
Only one side can claim victory; will it be the nice guys or the naughty ones? Which side is which? That is for you to decide.
One thing you don’t have to decide is how much you are going to eat up this special episode that is streaming now on Shudder.
You are also going to enjoy seeing a different side of Anna Camp. Someone needs to give the sweet girl from Pitch Perfect a Horror movie because she is so good at playing bad. Pally, on the other hand, is the same as he always is, but it works for this character. Everything works! So why are you still reading and not watching Santas getting slaughtered?
