Torture Cinema Poll #11: The Holiday Special? You Decide…

It’s that time of year again!  And that means we’re going to have to review another holiday-themed genre flick.  Call it “Deck the Halls with Bows of Awful” or “Torture Bells” or “Torture the Red-Tinged Brainsmear.”  Whatever you want to call our once-a-year Torture Cinema special, the most important thing you need to know is that you get to choose what we watch.  So take your little clicker thing and vote!
