Synapse is out doing
themselves in the month of November. I just told you about the SE
DVD release of Maniac Cop and now comes word that they are going to
give the special treatment to Christmas Evil. Read on for the
rundown of this awesome disc:
Just has Halloween has John
Carpenter’s HALLOWEEN, Christmas has a horror classic to call its own,
and now after years off the market, Synapse Films is giving horror fans
the stocking stuffer they’ve been asking for with the return of the
film that DVD Maniacs.net called “The best killer Santa film!”, Lewis
Jackson’s CHRISTMAS EVIL!
Harry Stadling (Tony nominee Brandon
Maggert of DRESSED TO KILL and “Sesame Street ”) is obsessed with
Christmas! In fact he wants to "be" the authentic Santa Claus, with a
real suit, sleigh and reindeer. Ever since he learned the “truth” about
Santa, he’s tried to make Christmas a reality. Growing up a toy
maker, Harry is met with naysayers and critics who mock him for his
yuletide beliefs… but he wants people to get the presents they deserve,
even if that means giving the gift of murder! Cynics and uptight
hypocrites beware! Lewis Jackson's classic black comedy horror film,
CHRISTMAS EVIL (aka YOU BETTER WATCH OUT!) is, according to cult film
director/auteur John Waters, “the best seasonal film of all time.
I wish I had kids. I’d make them watch it every year and, if they
didn’t like it, they’d be punished!”
Time to hang those stockings from the
fireplace and get ready… the sadistic holiday chestnut CHRISTMAS EVIL
is here in an all-new “Director’s Cut” edition. Transferred from
the director’s own personal film elements, this version of CHRISTMAS
EVIL is the original first cut of the film containing even more scenes
and never-before-seen footage!
Co-starring famed character actor
Jeffrey DeMunn (THE GREEN MILE, PHENOMENON) and featuring an early
screen appearance by Patricia Richardson of “Home Improvement”, Synapse
Films’ Special Edition DVD of CHRISTMAS EVIL contains the following
special features:
New, Widescreen (1.78:1) Transfer from the Original Vault Materials
Audio Commentary from Director LEWIS JACKSON
Bonus Audio Commentary by Director Lewis Jackson and Cult Director JOHN WATERS!
Director’s Cut Version Featuring Never-Before-Seen Footage!
Rare Audition Tapes
Test Screening Comment Cards
Storyboards
Look for Synapse Films’ special
edition DVD of CHRISTMAS EVIL in stores on November 14, 2006 at a
retail of $24.95, just in time for the holidays!
