John Waters’ favorite holiday horror film is returning to big screens to get everyone in the anti-Christmas spirit. Lewis Jackson’s CHRISTMAS EVIL will play special bookings across the country; read on for an exclusive look at the poster and the complete schedule!
Originally titled YOU BETTER WATCH OUT and never given a proper theatrical release, CHRISTMAS EVIL has gained a cult following via various video editions over the years.
