As usual, the Christmas season went by too fast, but I still got in some of my old favorite Christmas movies and watched some new ones, including Red Christmas and Good Tidings that I wrote about in a previous post<\/a>. I also for the first time watched the Christmas with Cookie movies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Christmas with Cookie (2016)<\/a>– As a huge fan of low budget indie horror movies, I was glad to find Christmas with Cookie. It looked like totally silly horror, and I wasn’t disappointed. It was among the stranger movies I’ve seen. Cookie is a hilarious character and I can see him hosting a regular series, critiquing other indie horror movies. If it happened, I’d watch it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Christmas with Cookie: Locked Away\u00a0(2017)<\/a> – In this second movie in the series, Cookie tells a story about a vet who comes home to face zombie terror. I enjoyed the story more than the one in the first movie, and Cookie was funnier than ever. My favorite line? “Chicken noodle soup? That ain’t gonna do shit.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Christmas with Cookie: The Watching (2018)<\/a> – This installment was shorter than the first two at bout 16 minutes. I liked seeing Cookie again. This time the stories were about one couple’s trip to hell and another’s ghostly experience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you’re looking for serious horror or a slick production, the Cookie series probably won’t be for you, but if you love horror comedy and non-traditional Christmas movies, spend Christmas with Cookie.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
