The Best Horror Movies Coming To Netflix This December

Pop a bag of popcorn and grab your coziest blanket because Netflix has unveiled its lineup for the month of December, and there are some pretty fantastic choices on the list.

December may be the time for holiday cheer, that doesn't mean we can't binge watch some horror movies to get us through the holidays, and lucky for us, Netflix has us covered with some old (and one new) horror-themed media.

Here are the top five movies and show you'll want to add to your next marathon.

1. “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: A Midwinter’s Tale”

We've been obsessing over the "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" spin-off since its release back in October, and for good reason. Set to take on a much darker tone than Melissa Joan Hart's beloved teenage witch, Kiernan Shipka's take on the witch is way more menacing and dark. While it's been an adjustment seeing the two witches, we can't lie: we're totally obsessed.

Recently announced, the beloved new witch will be taking on a holiday special, and it will be released just in time for Christmas. With the darker turn, we're pretty excited to see what Sabrina does for the Netflix holiday special.

2. “My Bloody Valentine”

Remakes can be a double-edged sword, especially when it comes to remakes in the horror genre. While most of the time, they can be pretty disappointing, that's not always the case. Take for example the 2009 remake of "My Bloody Valentine," which was a remade version from the 1981 film of the same name.

I may be biased of this movie, just because of a certain Winchester brother making an appearance (you know it's going to be a good film when Jensen Ackles is involved!)

In any case, why not watch a holiday movie during the holidays?

3. Stephen King’s “Children of the Corn”

Stephen King's "Children Of The Corn" is officially on Netflix, and we couldn't be more creeped out. We don't want to spoil the movie, but just take our word for it: this movie will seriously bring on the freights for this holiday season!

4. “Bride of Chucky”

The "Chucky" series has an interesting place in the hearts of the horror community, and while some of these movies just aren't good (perfect example, this one) that doesn't mean horror enthusiasts won't be sitting back and spending time with their families...all the while watching Chucky find his bride.

It's the perfect holiday movie to watch with your family...

5. “Shaun of the Dead”

Christmas is a time that's supposed to be filled with holiday cheer, so why not watch a horror comedy to bring in the Christmas spirit (and the zombie apocalypse!)

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
