Hey, did you know it’s Christmas soon? We did and that’s why you’re getting a holiday movie every week along with something else, all December from the two of us. We’ll be at the Groovy Doom Facebook page at 8 PM East Coast Time, so make sure to “like” the page so you get an alert when we go live throughout the night.

Up first — perhaps the best holiday movie ever made, Black Christmas.

To go with this movie, may I offer you a drink?

Secret Santa

• 4 oz. eggnog (take your pick of brands, I bought the actual SoCo version)
• 2 oz. Southern Comfort

1. This one is simple. Pour it all together over ice and enjoy. Feel free to substitute your beverage of choice, like Fireball instead of Southern Comfort. I mean, this is a Canadian movie, so maybe some Canadian Club?

Less well known, but no less great, will be our second feature…1980’s House of the Dead AKA Alien Zone.

There’s no trailer, but there is this drink recipe…

Alien Zoned Out in the House of the Dead (from the book 10,000 Drinks by Paul Knorr, where it was called Zoned Out)

We’re starting things off with a reptilian rave-up, 1980’s Alligator!

3. Then, float the Jager on top like an oil slick.
4. Break out of the sewer and drink it all.

The animal attacks will only increase in ferocity with 1977’s Day of the Animals, this one will send your liver to a zoo filled with killer beasts and eat it alive.

This week, we’re back with Lemora and Mortuary!

Our first movie is a Prohibition-era tale of the supernatural and the religious, so a prohibition cocktail seemed like the right idea.

Astaroth Lady (from this site)

• 1/2 oz. lemon juice
• 1 egg white

1. Add all ingredients into a shaker and vigorously with no ice.

3. Strain into a glass.

I absolutely love this movie and am so excited to share it with all of you.
