Christmas Horror Appreciation: All I Want For Christmas Is Blood and Guts
At the start of Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiographical film The Fabelmans, Sammy (Gabriel LaBelle) leaves the cinema after having just seen The Greatest Show on Earth— his first ever moviegoing experience. On the way home, a stream of New Jersey suburban homes teem with the brilliance of Christmas lights. Except one, at the end of a cul-de-sac, which stands out for everything it does not have on display. A gaping black hole amidst the deliberately tacky red and green. Suddenly, it's clear: this is a Jewish family. Christmas means nothing to them except as an excuse to flock to the theater where they can be unbothered, while the Gentile masses hunker at home to eagerly await the arrival of Santa Claus.
