Almost every major holiday has a horror movie associated with it — the most obvious examples being Halloween (which is synonymous with one of the most beloved horror franchises ever) and Christmas (there are almost as many scary movies set around the winter holidays as there are set on October 31st). Yet, there are even a few that may surprise you, like all the romantic thrillers that are perfect for Valentine’s Day or all the other celebratory seasons covered in the fun horror anthology movie, Holidays. However, one that I believe does not get quite as much attention from the horror genre as it should is Thanksgiving, which is why I am looking forward to Eli Roth’s next project.
To be perfectly honest, Thanksgiving will only be the latest in a handful of flicks that put a deadly spin on the otherwise heartwarming holiday, which include 1987’s Blood Rage, the campy Thankskilling movies, and the two November-released installments of Blumhouse’s Into the Dark on Hulu, most notably. However, with a filmmaker of Roth’s notoriety involved, a few A-listers set to star, and years of anticipation built-up already, this is looking to be the definitive thriller for horror-obsessed families to chow down on together each Turkey Day. See for yourself what we mean in our breakdown of all there is to know about this upcoming horror movie so far.
