Exclusive clip and photos: “CURTAINS FOR CHRISTMAS” in July!

The holiday horror/comedy is now in physical release and heading on-line later this summer.

Filmmaker Steve Rudzinski passed on the exclusive clip and pics seen above and below from CURTAINS FOR CHRISTMAS, now available on disc and coming to streaming later this year. Aleen Isley, Jessa Flux and Michael Varrati star; the synopsis: “Holly [Isley] absolutely loves Christmas movies! After meeting a man with a similar love for Christmas, Holly decides that her life deserves to be as perfect as the films she loves! By any means necessary.”

“It’s a parody of made-for-TV Christmas romantic comedies,” Rudzinski says, “with a female killer as the lead as well as some positive LGBTQ+ rep with two of the featured couples. Of course, this is alongside a lot of laughs, a lot of bloodshed, and the general feelings of the Christmas season.”

The discs, which can be ordered here, include audio commentary, interviews, bloopers and more. CURTAINS FOR CHRISTMAS will first become available on-line at Rudzinski’s Patreon August 1, followed by streaming services including Tubi on a date to be determined in August or September.
