This month’s installment of Deep Cuts Rising features a variety of horror movies, with most selections reflecting a specific day or event in December.
Regardless of how they came to be here, or what they’re about, these past movies can generally be considered overlooked, forgotten or unknown.
This month’s offerings feature vengeful Christmas ghosts, home intruders, and more.
The Dumb Waiter (1979)

Directed by Robert Bierman.
December 28 is National Short Film Day, and no genre thrives in this format as much as horror. And while story often has to be sacrificed or compromised when something is as brief as The Dumb Waiter, Robert Bierman compensates with an unwavering sense of dread. The Vampire’s Kiss director adeptly condenses the plot and action of a standard ’70s long-feature into this tense and well-shot 18-minute clip.
