Our collective hunger for fresh Thanksgiving Horror will hopefully be satisfied this week with the release of Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving in theaters, but what other holiday-themed horror movies can you watch to get into the spirit of Thanksgiving in the coming days?
There aren’t all that many to choose from – don’t forget the 1987 cult classic Blood Rage! – but a select few can currently be streamed on the Bloody Disgusting-powered Screambox.
Here’s all the Thanksgiving Horror now streaming on Screambox…
First up, cannibalistic pilgrims dish out gory carnage in director Erick Lorinc’s low-budget indie The Last Thanksgiving, which premiered at Salem Horror Fest back in 2020.
In the retro-style slasher, which is home to a handful of particularly nasty kills, “A family of cannibalistic pilgrims attacks a restaurant that stays open for Thanksgiving.”

No stranger to playing not-so-upstanding knights in shining armor, Jaime Lannister himself, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, has boarded "Virtue," a medieval gothic horror movie that HanWay Films is taking to the European Film Market. Founded in 1999, HanWay is a British sales, distribution, and marketing company that's managed to get a pretty eclectic batch of films made over the years. Their output ranges from celebrated documentaries to Oscar-nominated period dramas to a bevy of auteur projects from the likes of David Cronenberg ("A Dangerous Method"), Takashi Miike ("13 Assassins"), Jim Jarmusch ("Only Lovers Left Alive"), and many more.
If that's not enough to get you sitting up and taking notice, know that "Virtue" further pairs Coster-Waldau with Romola Garai, the star of "Atonement," "Suffragette," and one of the best BBC series you've never seen, Abi Morgan's 1950s-set TV journalism drama "The Hour." In a statement (via The Hollywood Reporter), HanWay Films CEO Gabrielle Stewart notes that,...

If there's a holiday, there's probably a horror movie about it. Halloween is obviously the top dog, with plenty of solid options even beyond John Carpenter's seminal classic, but it doesn't stand alone. There are lots of Christmas-themed horror flicks, too, including enduring favorites like "Black Christmas" and "Krampus." The Fourth of July practically mandates a rewatch of "I Know What You Did Last Summer." Valentine's Day, of course, has its own early-'00s slasher.
Yet, likely by dint of its proximity to Christmas, filmmakers have gone cold turkey when it comes to serving up a heaping platter of Thanksgiving-related horror. It's inexplicable, too, given just how fruitful — and terrifying — the thought of family members both old and new gathering in one place really is. Dramas like "Pieces of April" and comedies like "The Oath" relish in Thanksgiving discomfort, but the horror genre is strangely resistant.

Critters remains one of the most unsung scifi/horror film franchise of the 80s but it still has its diehard fans including director Jordan Downey who made this fan film in 2014 called Critters: Bounty Hunter.
Critters: Bounty Hunter was completed from start to finish in under two months with a small budget and an even smaller crew. A total of six people worked on the movie and it was shot for two nights at a house in Mammoth Lakes, California.
The Critter puppet was built by Troy Smith. The small crew handled everything from building the bounty hunter costume, learning the VFX required to pull off the glowing head, scoring, title cards, sound design, etc.

The trailer for The Head Hunter is impressive and a great example of what can be accomplished with a good idea and some impressive camera work.
Jordan Downey's new movie, which he co-wrote with frequent collaborator, cinematographer Kevin Stewart, stars Christopher Rygh as a medieval warrior looking to avenge his daughter's death by collecting the head of the man (or creature) responsible for taking her.
There's not much more to go on from the trailer which pretty much features Rygh wandering around the woods on the hunt for someone or something which may or may not be there but it's an atmospheric bit of work featuring some impressive camera work and drone shots which give the entire thing a feeling of being far more expensive than it probably is.

"A gut punch of tension, horror, and dread." Vertical Entertainment has unleashed an official trailer for a film titled The Head Hunter, a medieval fantasy-action-horror thriller from director Jordan Downey. This played at the Sitges Film Festival last year under the title The Head, but I don't recall hearing much about it (good or bad). The Head Hunter is a gnarly Viking film which literally refers to a warrior who collects heads. But his collection is missing only one - the monster that killed his daughter years ago. Driven by a thirst for revenge, he travels wild expanses on horseback, using sorcery to aid in his quest. This is more fantasy than you're probably expecting, but still looks gritty and grounded. Described as a "heartbreaking fairytale with a black soul", starring Christopher Rygh and Cora Kaufman. This actually is worth a watch - check it out. Here's the official trailer...

The Head Hunter aka The Head is a medieval feature from Portugal. Part fantasy and part horror, The Head Hunter had its World Premiere at the Sitges Film Festival, in Spain. Since then, Vertical Entertainment has picked up the film for distribution in the United States. In the film, a medieval warrior protects his home and country from strange monsters and the occult. In search of revenge, this warrior hopes to slay the creature that killed his daughter. This title was directed by Jordan Downey (ThanksKilling), from a script by Kevin Stewart ("Unfriended: Dark Web"). This title is slated for an early April release, with more details below. The trailer shows some of the Head Hunter's (Christopher Rygh) anger. He has his gruesome trophy collection in his home. In search of the creature, he roams the countryside and finds what he is looking for inside a small cave, leading to a final confrontation.

Part of the fun in attending festivals like Sitges is the experience of watching a movie without much knowledge about it and what to expect. So, before stepping inside the theatre to watch The Head, pretty much the only thing I knew about it, besides a short synopsis, was that it was the new movie from director Jordan Downey, who made his first steps into the directing business by working as an intern for none other than Wes Craven. Of course, after such a start, it's no surprise that Downey's whole career has been dedicated to the horror genre.

He's induced laughter and chills in previous projects like ThanksKilling, Critters: Bounty Hunter, and Red Weather, but in his latest short film, director Jordan Downey channels the nostalgia of Stranger Things and combines it with the coming-of-age poignancy of early Stephen King stories in Techno Western, which you can watch right now on Daily Dead.
In addition to Techno Western, which you can watch below, we also have a Q&A with Downey that offers more insights into the making of the short film.
"What was the genesis and inspiration for this project?
Jordan Downey: The idea, really, is drawn from my childhood. When I was a kid I would always take my squirt guns and spray paint them to look like some cannon or prop from Star Wars. I’d duct tape flashlights and pocket knives to the barrel and pretend to go “hunting” in the woods for bad guys.

The Krites first came to the big screen two years after Gremlins, but they didn’t need to be fed after midnight to become evil—they were malevolent little monsters from the get-go in 1986’s Critters and its three sequels. The ferocious furballs are set to make a comeback in an upcoming digital series from Warner Bros., but you can see the return of the Krites right now in a new short fan film, Critters: Bounty Hunter.

Creating a memorable, frightening horror-comedy that at the same time satirizes the amusing humor that famously characterize low-budget, vulgar films can be a difficult task for relatively new filmmakers. But director Jordan Downey and his writing and producing partner Kevin Stewart did just that with their new movie ‘ThanksKilling 3,’ the follow-up to their 2009 feature film debut, ‘ThanksKilling.’ The two worked closely together to continue the story of their infamous villain puppet character from their first film, Turkie, to not only please fans wondering what happened to the trouble-making villain, but to also continue targeting a holiday not previously ruined by horror with cheesy one-liners and jokes. ‘ThanksKilling 3′ [ Read More ]

I’ve seen a lot of goofy and absurd indie horror-comedies in my lifetime but a horror-comedy about a homicidal, foul-mouthed turkey on a killing spree as in ThanksKilling 3 takes the cake without question.
This turkey isn’t just preying on a bunch of kids on thanksgiving though – there’s an offbeat, pretty creative plot at work that sees the titular turkey going into a killing spree after learning that copies worldwide of ThanksKilling 2 were obliterated because it was the worst movie ever – a winking nod for the events to follow, I’d wager.

I’ve seen a lot of goofy and absurd indie horror-comedies in my lifetime but a horror-comedy about a homicidal, foul-mouthed turkey on a killing spree as in ThanksKilling 3 takes the cake without question.
This turkey isn’t just preying on a bunch of kids on thanksgiving though – there’s an offbeat, pretty creative plot at work that sees the titular turkey going into a killing spree after learning that copies worldwide of ThanksKilling 2 were obliterated because it was the worst movie ever – a winking nod for the events to follow, I’d wager.

Back in 2009, an extremely independent Thanksgiving themed horror film was created called ThanksKilling, introducing the world to a foul-mouthed and murderous one-liner serving fowl named Turkie. I caught Jordan Downey’s film streaming on Netflix late one night with an equally open-minded horror fan, and we were completely taken aback by the amature-ish nature of the film. It was like a film school project gone wrong, attempting to make the most crude jokes and terrible dialogue while playing around with a turkey puppet, hoping to achieve “so bad it’s good” fame. I mean sure, Ok, a horror film centered around a demonic turkey with a knack for terrible puns sounded like an entertaining watch at least, as long as you’re a die-hard B-Movie fan, but the intelligence level of ThanksKilling was comparable to an unborn fetus. A downright painful experience for anyone expecting a fun, low-budget horror romp with some demented holiday action.

This scene features a turkey battle to the death, with silly puns, a muppet, live action, and the fight going retro-video-game-style. It promises to be wacky.

The low budget horror comedy ThanksKilling (review) is getting a sequel. The original flick garnished many watched on Netflix and has become a bit of a cult classic.
Currently, Jordan Downey has launched a Kickstarter page in order to raise $100,000 for the sequel.
The details are being kept under wraps but word has it they are looking to develop a movie in the same vein as Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland. We'll see how that all pans out.
The movie has reportedly already obtained distribution in the form of VOD with the guys over at Gravitas Ventures and is shooting for a release in the fall of 2012.

In 2007, a couple of college kids shot campy B-movie called ThanksKilling when they should have been studying. They either graduated or were kicked out, and think that shooting a sequel might mean they can move out of mom's basement. Okay, I may have made that last part up, but they are shooting a sequel. Creators Kevin Stewart and Jordan Downey have started a Kickstarter project to raise the funds. While their goal budget is $100,000, the duo already have enough funds pledged to them to match their first masterpiece. Check out a thoroughly bizarre plea for money from the Killer Turkey while I find $50 to donate. I am fascinated and horrified at the notion of a gravy-flavored condom.

The wackiest, zaniest, no-budget camp/cult “classic” in ThanksKilling is gearing up for a bigger and better sequel. The only catch is writer/director Jordan Downey needs the film’s fans help. Running on Kickstarter, Downey has a campaign going for the mysterious sequel, which is eying a Fall 2011 production start date.
ThanksKilling was shot for $3,500 in 2007 by 21 year old college roommates Kevin Stewart and Jordan Downey over 11 days during their summer break at Loyola Marymount University. It took another year to complete the film while the two finished school and prepped “Tk” for distributors. After unsuccessful attempts at acquiring a distribution deal, the two turned down what offers were on the table and chased after the unconventional method of self-distribution. They learned Photoshop and designed the posters, DVD jackets, and website from their apartment, then purchased a barcode and set up an account on Amazon. Finally, only months before the scheduled release,...

Nothing says Thanksgiving like a foul-mouthed, hitchhiking killer turkey. So when the new horror flick Thankskilling popped on my radar, I just had to see it. After I saw it, I just had to sit down one on one with the delirious minds behind this film, writer/director Jordan Downey and writer Kevin Stewart. I had to find out what makes them tick. Find out what would compel them to make such a film. Find out why they wanted to defile such a beloved holiday and most importantly, find out what their favorite turkey day side dish is. Be sure to stick around after the interview for a huge picture gallery and a clip from Thankskilling, you'll never look at a turkey the same way again. FEARnet - There aren't many Thanksgiving...
