“Unwrap the Secrets: What the Greatest Christmas Screenplays Reveal About Holiday Magic”
The genre-bending horror holiday film follows Billy (Zach Galligan) and the accidental hell he raises in his hometown after his Christmas gift multiplies into demonic Gremlins. This isn’t a traditional holiday movie but sets its horrors against the backdrop of the holidays. It also helps craft the backstories of some of the characters, especially Kate (Phoebe Cates), whose father died dressed as Santa as he tried to climb down the chimney on one tragic Christmas day.
Genre-bending will continue to push movies and concepts forward. Mixing holiday elements with the tropes of another genre can create a timeless story that breaks the mold of traditional holiday movies, providing a nice palette cleanser for audiences who might be tired of all the warmth and joy of the season.
