Robert Eggers’ “Nosferatu,” an update of the silent vampire classic, is a Christmas movie.
For years, the Christmas horror genre has helped movie fans get their scare on.
These films have become part of holiday movie culture — and now, “Nosferatu” could join them as another not-so-festive flick.
The Christmas horror spirit also lives in streaming service Shudder’s “The Last Drive-In,” hosted by trash cinema maven Joe Bob Briggs.
Both Manjourides and the “Nosferatu” director cited 1974 proto-slasher “Black Christmas” as a prime example of the category.
