Brief Synopsis:
The "All Your Gifts at Once Edition" takes the 4 scattered stories and puts each one together so that you can experience them in their entirety before moving on to the next one.
Intention:
One particular story I was not super interested in, but I hated that I had to keep coming back to it and then when things were getting good with another story I had to wait to come back to that. I get that it all takes place over one day, but hopefully the way I pieced the segments together you see that they do have a little overlap.

Digital
Editing Details:
The film uses Dynamite Dan as a bridge between each story. Here is the new order:
1. The three kids in the school
2. The family and the changeling
3. The family vs. Krampus
4. Santa vs. zombie elves

I am not the biggest fan of the original film, I think it's a little bit too confused and lack of clarity. But this edit is really really good! It does not make the movie perfect, but it's a new vision that pleases me more. In this edit, the movie is more like a "Christmas Trick R' Treat", with separate stories. Thanks to the editor for this version!

Overview - The original Christmas Horror Story was quite a bouncy affair, four storylines weaving back and forth throughout. MusicEd aims for a more traditional anthology style.
Video - 1920 X 1080p AVC. The look is good. There has been substantial work here, reassembling disparate scenes into one narrative, or rather four narratives. No problems. NOTE : PAL format.
Audio - 384 kbps AAC, 2 Channel stereo. No subs. There is plenty of dialogue in every chapter. Voices were clean throughout, so subs were not necessary, at least not for me.
Narrative - Solid. Using Shatner (DJ Dangerous Dan) as an interconnecting element is a wise move. It is also done better here than in the original. Better. Personally, I think chapters 2 and 3 should be switched. There is a callback reveal in #3 that, to me, should have been sorted. Also, #3 and #4 are the most action driven episodes and I believe the film would have breathed better had they been switched.
Enjoyment - OK, let’s get to the elephant first. The filesize is 10.9 GB! Really? Bring this thing down, please. Noted, move on.
I really liked this a lot. More people should see this, especially during the season. C’mon guys, quit watching all your Hallmark favorites.
I would watch this every year, especially if I could burn it. Great job, MusicEd, rousing fun.
