Holiday-themed horror movies have been popular for decades, but for whatever reason there just aren’t a lot of Easter horror movies. (Yes, yes, fine, Critters 2, but besides that?)
That’s one of the wrongs being righted by this year’s horror anthology Holidays, in which a group of notable directors – including Kevin Smith (Red State), Gary Shore (Dracula Untold), Scott Stewart (Dark Skies) and many more – each contribute a short scary movie about their particular holiday. And since Easter is right around corner, we wanted to share this exclusive clip and eerie still from the film’s hippiest, hoppitiest installment, directed by Nicholas McCarthy (The Pact).

Take a look at this egg-stremely creepy exclusive preview, and go see Holidays on VOD this April 15, the day after its Tribeca premiere, and in theaters on April 22, 2016!
