Silent night, deadly night, everyone! It's Outside of a Dream's first Yuletide episode, in which we explore two Christmasey selections, one from the Great White North and the other from the Great White Much Farther North. The first is Black Christmas, a Canadian proto-slasher from 1974. The second is Rare Exports, a very, VERY alternative take on Santa Claus from modern Finland.
Also in this episode, Daniel appreciates Finnish actors' commitment to their art and Cameron grapples with director Bob Clark's incredibly varied filmography.
Black Christmas and Rare Exports are available to rent on YouTube and can be streamed on Shudder.
If you're interested in Black Christmas' surprisingly prescient themes and dynamics, we highly recommend Aja Romano's essay on Vox on the subject.
