Christmas at the Kringles — Ron Livingston stars in holiday horror

In the days of cable TV, with late night horror feature time slots, Christmas at the Kringles would surely be one of those movies you’d find yourself glued to at 2 a.m. Its trailer has the narrator and the vibe of a preview for any D-movie horror flick in the 1970s or 1980s. The rare horror movie actually released for the Halloween season, it’s that mash-up of genres you either love or hate. It stars the singular Ron Livingston–Office Space is forever a classic, so any excuse to see Livingston again is a good one, and he appears to bring that similar, put-upon Everyman. He and his wife, played by Chuck’s Rachel Bilson, move next door to an unusual couple carrying the yuletide spirit into dark territory. A holiday-horror-comedy from horror writer Zack Inbrogno and slasher flick director Kevin Lewis, this one co-stars Rob Riggle and Beverly D’Angelo, Reno 911’s Thomas Lennon, MAD TV’s Arden Myren, and Scrubs and Kick-Ass 2 co-star Donald Faison.

The entire movie may very well be in the trailer–but it’s a solid trailer if this genre mash-up is for you. File this next to Violent Night. Check out Christmas at the Kringles:
