Shaffer’s Sanguine Soaked Secret Santa Is the Perfect Holiday Tale For 80s Horror Junkies

Leave a comment

What’s that you say? A mashup of glorious 1980’s horror and a generous helping of holiday cheer? I’m in! When Lussi starts her new job at a prestigious cutthroat publishing house, she is tasked with finding the new Stephen King- and fast. Targeted by a series of pranks, the hazing culminates with a very strange secret Santa gift. Suddenly horrific accidents are taking place all around Lussi and she suspects the bizarre present is somehow related.

I devoured this in a single sitting, Shaffer offers up a perfect blend of horror and comedy, and refreshingly utilizes an often overlooked/untapped element of horror to bring to life a fun and original story. Trust me when I say this sanguine soaked Santa story makes the perfect gift for the slasher fan in your life.

A Creepshow Holiday Special Delivers One Glorious Joy-Filled Hour of Horror + Laughs

Leave a comment

There’s a killer on the loose in Neighborville, only comes out when the moon is full…

The comedy in A Creepshow Holiday Special is so insanely on point. A healthy dose of “Dad jokes”, puns and dark humor weaved effortlessly together with real horror. A whole new mythology created for creatures, characters and tropes of familiar lore turned upside down on its head in a way that totally checks out, “yeah, I buy that.” This is just oozing and seething with one hundred percent FUN. Absolute escapism for one joy-filled hour. I do not say this lightly- this was extremely my jam. Something here for non-horror fans and casual horror fans alike. And if you’re an avid horror hound… prepare to REJOICE in the sheer cleverness presented in a gift wrapped cornucopia of easter eggs.

Adam Pally and Anna Camp hilariously lead a cast of characters with unique abilities in this wild holiday ride. Hunker down, grab some Santa cookies and settle in for your first Shapeshifters Anonymous meeting.
