Geek of Oz

Driving out to attend Oz Comic-Con got me reminiscing about past experiences at the convention. Everything from friends made, to celebrities sighted, and yes, even the swag I've looted over the years. The last time I attended was in 2022.

Why did I have that Comic-Con spring back in my step? The answer, which also happened to shatter my nostalgic stumble down memory lane, came when the shriek of DAD!! came from the back seat, as I had yet again violated some aspect of toddler law.  This would be my daughter’s first Oz Comic-Con . She was ridiculously excited for it, although she  had no notion of what it even was. She was more than likely just excited because her dad was.

  SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT reimagines a 1984 cult horror classic in which a young boy witnesses the murder of his parents at the hands of a man dressed as Santa, only to grow up and become a killer himself. Haunted by trauma and fuelled by a twisted sense of justice, he dons the red suit, turning the advent calendar into a series of nights of terror. As Christmas Eve approaches, a small town becomes his latest hunting ground, where the naughty and bad pay the ultimate price. Blending psychological horror, brutal slasher thrills, a touch of the supernatural, and – more shockingly still – a sprinkle of romance, the film delivers a modern chilling new take on the ultimate holiday nightmare. With the release of  SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT  around the corner, the seasonally spooky folks at STUDIOCANAL  have given us 10 double passes (admit 2) for an exclusive Sydney previewing screening. The screening will take place on Wednesday the 10th ...
