129. Silent Night, Bloody Night and 130. Snowbeast

Once again, I can't get the essays up in time, but here are the films: a special solstice/holiday PD double-feature. Happy solstice to all of you as well as a merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, happy Kwanzaa, and happy holidays in general. This is the season of long, dark nights and it can be easy to accept the lie that you are alone. You are not alone and I hope you're doing well at this time of year.

2018 EDIT: Hello future person! Obviously, these posts haven't been written in the two years since I watched the movies so it's probably no surprise for me to say now that they will not be written. Both movies are in the public domain and available on the Internet Archvie with me having personally added the MPEG-2 of Snowbeast. You can watch them and make up your own mind. In the meantime, please enjoy the other 342 reviews in the Misery Mill.
