Scripture states that someone shoved mescaline fruitcake into the manger’s VHS player and nine months later the Everything is Terrible! Holiday Special was born. Now, let us all give thanks. This Chicago-based video blog tours its tripped-out seasonal offering through Dallas on Wednesday night, stopping for one screening at Texas Theatre (231 W. Jefferson Blvd.) before peeling out of town. EIT’s been doing this shtick for a minute now, and we’ve come to classify their wrong-eyed productions as must-see cinematic dredge. We don’t know where they found these old tapes, or why they were ever made to begin with. We don’t know why Santa’s in a bondage mask, why Rudolph looks so nervous or where that dreidel is going to get lodged, and that’s why we’ll be at Texas Theatre at 8 p.m. Wednesday, demanding answers as EIT hosts lead us through the cinematic debris. It’s weird, freaky and more fun than Dumpster diving for discarded inflatables. Tickets cost $12. Visit thetexasthteatre.com.
