Still, Christmas and Halloween have remained the popular holidays for horror flicks.
One has remained the choice entree for horror hounds, though, in terms of turkey-day terror.
This, of course, would be the infamous flick from 2008,ThanksKilling.

The so-bad-its-good charm might not work for everyone.
Well, terrifying entity as in a wise-cracking bird puppet.
This is also not to mention the straight-up jokes of the film, which are important to mention.
Instead of slasher pilgrims, the horror in this film comes from claustrophobic family gatherings.
The jokes are possibly the strangest aspect ofthe film.
The movie is much more focused on cracking a joke than creating a scare.
Do the gags work?
Yes…in a strange kind of way.
The movie has a very distinct brand of anti-humor that really works to its advantage.
It helps the movie maintain its almost surreal, purposefully bizarre nature.
Many jokes definitely do go too far in their offensive nature, which can understandably turn some viewers away.
DirectorJordan Downeywas only in his 20s whenThanksKillingwas made.
It is always fascinating to see how a budding filmmaker finds their footing.
