Hey guys! Horrorella here...
El Rey is gearing up to bring you the Christmas you always wanted. The stuff of legend. The holiday you have been dreaming up since you were a tiny little kid. You always dreamed of waking up on a snowy Christmas morning, the air filled with magic as you anticipated the wonders that would be waiting for you under that tree. And, surrounded by loved ones, as you basked in the glow of the amazing treasures left by a stealthy Santa in the middle of the night, your wonder-filled eyes gazed upon...Godzilla laying waste to Tokyo!
That's right, you merry bastards! Nothing says "Merry Christmas" quite like a Godzilla marathon, and El Rey has got you covered. Starting on December 24th, tune in for over 48 straight hours of Kaiju glory, as they air classic films such as the original GOJIRA, GODZILLA VS MOTHRA, RODAN, GODZILLA: KING OF MONSTERS, and many others.
Check out the full schedule below. And after you've watched A CHRISTMAS STORY for the fifth or sixth time in a row (it's required Holiday viewing - I do it too), flip over to El Rey for some Christmas Kaiju action.
