Joe Bob Briggs will be returning to Shudder tonight, October 25th, at 9pm Eastern to host a horror triple feature, an event that's being called Joe Bob's Halloween Hootenanny. The 2020 premiere date for the second season of The Last Drive-In, Joe Bob's series of weekly double features, hasn't been announced yet, but just hours before the Halloween Hootenanny it has been announced that Joe Bob is planning another special triple feature for December.
That special will be called Joe Bob's Red Christmas. It's set to happen on Friday, December 13th and it will present a "triple feature of holiday horrors" that will stream live at 9pm ET/6pm PT on Shudder in the U.S. and Canada.
Joe Bob says,
Every Christmas we try to get that perfect mix of movies the whole family can watch, plus movies that will cause every family member except dedicated horror fiends to run screaming from the room. That’s because we realize that Christmas celebrations can go either way. We think we’ve achieved that balance with Joe Bob’s Red Christmas, combining the cult, the classic and the bizarre in a holiday stew designed to keep you reaching for the egg nog or equivalent, and to keep Aunt Shirley complaining about your choices. In between the films we have holiday hijinks that are frankly embarrassing, because that’s also what Americans do on Christmas."
Joe Bob hosted a Christmas special last year that was called A Very Joe Bob Christmas, during which he showed four of the five PHANTASM movies. I'm excited to find out what he'll be showing for the Red Christmas special… but before I get too excited about that, I'm going to be watching the Halloween Hootenanny tonight!
Just when you thought #HalloweenHootenanny was the ultimate–Friday the 13th in December sounds perfect for JOE BOB'S RED CHRISTMAS, which will be a lot more fun than the Black Christmas reboot the same day. No, I won't wear the Santa hat. @kinky_horror @Shudder #JoeBobHalloween pic.twitter.com/yqtuJuBsnH
