Don’t Open Till Christmas (1984)
Directed By: Edmund Purdom
Written By: Derek Ford

“Don’t Open Till Christmas” is one of those films that a slasher fan will either love or hate. It is the typical formula that has been done before in the Christmas slasher tradition. Unfortunately, this movie pales in comparison to some of its predecessors but managed to keep me entertained none the less. This UK based slasher movie was released in the United States same year by Vestron Video, known for releasing anything from great to sleazy videos to the market.
The plot is that a masked killer is going around killing people...

Mondo Macabro
Review By J. Astro
“Ho Ho Ho!” That ubiquitous jolly chuckle just might get you killed in Edmund Purdom’s Don’T Open Till Christmas, the under-appreciated holiday blood-letting that finally saw a proper DVD release this month from eclectic exploitation purveyors Mondo Macabro.
Holiday horror is pretty much entrenched as its own cozy sub-genre at this point, and there is no shortage of cinematic psycho Santas to punish the naughty. You’ve got your minor classics such as Silent Night, Deadly Night, Christmas Evil, Tales From The Crypt, and even the lovably dumb Santa’S Slay, with ex-pro wrestler Bill Goldberg bringing his own silly brand of hyper-masculine intensity to the jolly role of a nasty killer Kringle.
