Iconic horror host Joe Bob Briggs returned to the airwaves after a nearly two-decade absence back in 2018 for a 24-hour event that was meant to be his sendoff, though the popularity of the event saw him return to streaming service Shudder for holiday specials, with the streamer confirming today that this year will see him delivering Joe Bob’s Creepy Christmas next week. As is tradition, the event will feature a surprise reveal of horror movies which may or may not be connected to the holidays, with the evening also kicking off a charity auction to support various organizations. Joe Bob’s Creepy Christmas will air live on Shudder TV on Friday, December 15th at 9 p.m. ET.

The special will feature a charity auction of one-of-a-kind props and exclusive merch from The Last Drive-In and personal memorabilia from Joe Bob’s 35-year career. The details of this year’s items and films will be revealed during the special.”
