The Cinema Shock Christmas Spectacular is here, and we're unwrapping the film that changed horror forever: BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974). While the world settles in for wholesome holiday classics, we're exploring the dark, influential "proto-slasher" that walked so Halloween could run. Gary, Justin, and Todd dig into the urban legends that inspired the script, the terrifying vocal techniques used to create "Billy," and the haunting real-life parallels that once got the film pulled from television broadcast. Lock your doors, check the attic, and don't answer the phone.
Hey Agnes, it's Brian and Ashvin. We're wondering how many black plastic bags is too many. Call us back when you can.
This holiday season, the slay ride begins. This week we get into the holiday spirit with the 2006 remake BLACK CHRISTMAS. A snowstorm traps a sorority house full of students during the holidays, but something sinister lurks inside. What begins as a cozy gathering quickly spirals into a terrifying nightmare. Also this week: Lance hates peanut butter cereal, the new (fake) Jimmy Buffet song "Tequila and Wine", and Ben fakes a Cole Trickle connection.

Bundle up, my spookies—this week's This Week in Horror History digs into Christmas horror movies, winter ghost stories, and festive frights from December 15–21. We're hanging the stockings and turning off the lights as we revisit the classics that made the holidays just a little more terrifying.We kick things off with Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein (1974), a black-and-white horror-comedy love letter to the Universal Monsters era. It proved that audiences were happy to unwrap creepy laughs during the holiday season, turning a modest budget into a massive hit and cementing itself as a cozy winter comfort watch for monster kids everywhere.From there, we head into the snow-choked terror of Bob Clark's Black Christmas (1974)—the grim, stalker-in-the-attic slasher that helped invent the blueprint for holiday horror slashers. Killer POV shots, obscene phone calls, sorority sisters in danger, and a cozy Christmas setting turned sinister make it a must-watch Christmas horror movie for anyone who likes their tinsel tangled with blood.We then unwrap some Christmas horror gaming with the PS1-style indie nightmare Christmas Massacre, where retro graphics, a whispering Christmas tree, and a deeply disturbed killer turn nostalgic winter vibes into something nasty and unforgettable. If you're into indie horror games, lo-fi visuals, and brutally mean Christmas horror, this one belongs on your December playlist.For fans of analog horror and late-night weirdness, we shine a frosty spotlight on Local 58's Real Sleep—a fake infomercial that slowly mutates into something cosmic, invasive, and deeply wrong. It's perfect for those long, cold nights where the TV glow is the only light in the room.Our Deep-Cut Spotlight settles on Ghost Story (1981), a wintry ghost tale about regret, buried secrets, and a haunting that refuses to stay in the past. Legendary performances and snow-dusted atmosphere make it an ideal December ghost story to curl up with while the wind howls outside and the Christmas lights flicker.Along the way, we celebrate horror icons with birthdays this week, revisit the seismic impact of Wes Craven's Scream (1996) as a late-December slasher staple, and build you a Christmas horror watchlist loaded with slashers, ghost stories, analog nightmares, and cold-weather horror comfort films.Where to watch this week's picks (U.S.):Black Christmas (1974) – Currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, Shudder, AMC+ and more, and also free with ads on platforms like Tubi and The Roku Channel.

We get into the holiday spirit by discussing this 1974 Christmas horror!
On December 19, 1970, the Indianapolis affiliate of the Southern Leadership Conference's Operation Breadbasket held a “Black Christmas Parade” on Indiana Avenue. The parade featured marching bands, floats, and local celebrities. The grand marshal of the parade was the Soul Saint, an Afrocentric version of Santa Claus. The “Black Christmas Parade” was part of a full day of events that also included a keynote speech by Reverend Jesse Jackson. The day ended with a “Black Christmas Party” at Foster's Motor Lodge, featuring some of the greatest funk and soul bands in Indianapolis, including the Highlighters, the Moonlighters, the Turner Brothers, Indy 5, the Perfections, and others. The purpose of the “Black Christmas Parade” went beyond spreading holiday cheer. A spokesperson for Operation Breadbasket said the parade was created to raise awareness of the services and products available through local Black business owners and to develop a sense of Black pride within the Indianapolis community. Listen to a tribute to the “Black Christmas Parade,” featuring an hour of music from Indianapolis funk bands that performed at the event.

While Christmas is typically the time to snuggle up with friends and family to watch beloved the same corny, nostalgic favorites we return to every year, for filmmakers the holiday season is a surprisingly fertile ground for a very different form of entertainment: horror films. There are literally dozen of Christmas horror films currently in existence, and seemingly more every year. They use the Christmas festivities as a counterpoint for the bloody work of serial killers, monsters, or legendary figures from folklore. Forget Season's Greetings and a Cup of Good Cheer; for these movies, it's all about Season's Beatings and a Cup of Good FEAR. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate for a very different holiday special as it explores the Best Holiday Horror Films.Movies discussed: Black Christmas (1974); Silent Night, Deadly Night; Rare Exports; Silent Night (2021); Violent Night; Christmas, Bloody Christmas; Terrifier 3; Better Watch Out; Gremlins; P2; Jack Frost (1997); Black Christmas (2006); Krampus; It's a Wonderful Knife; A Christmas Horror Story; Anna and the ApocalypseJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Karissa Kloss, Michael Schwarz, and Zack Derby as they discuss and debate 16 brutal holiday horror films.

To kick off the latest cycle of "Unorthodox Holiday Suggestions", Emilio brings the original 'Black Christmas', Bob Clark's other holiday themed masterpiece from 1974, to the group just in time for spooky season. Joining the usual three cohosts is James Codoyannis, fellow cinephile and editor for film/TV who worked on the well-received, recently released indie film "We Strangers". The group digs into this proto-slasher classic, highlighting the way this movie is in such great control of its tone and atmosphere, the changing nature of the POV shots, at iconic atonal piano sound design/score, the amazing voice acting work by Nick Mancuso as Billy, and much more. The group also discusses the many ways 'Black Christmas' intersects with and diverges from John Carpenter's 'Halloween', the much more popular and influential slasher film from the 1970s, and discusses the filmmaking decisions that implicate Peter as the killer, and whether or not it works for building suspense. It's a great conversation about what makes 'Black Christmas' such a important entry in the horror canon!Follow James on his socials:INSTAGRAM: @codboyannisLETTERBOXD: jcodoyannisBLUESKY: @codboyannis.bsky.socialWE STRANGERS now available on rent & buy at AMAZON, APPLE TV, and other placesFollow @westrangersthefilm on INSTAGRAMSEAWEED STORIES now available to watch on Leo DiCaprio's YouTube ChannelIf you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

Discover why Halloween is the ultimate holiday to host! From spooky décor to easy food, costumes, and pumpkin fun—this party will be the one your guests never forget. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Season 5, Episode 260 Why Halloween Is The Holiday To Host Just because you're now an adult doesn't mean that Halloween fun has to end! We love Halloween! This is Tigger's favorite holiday, which is another reason that I wish he would have gotten to know my dad. Growing up on the Ranch, my dad loved Halloween so much that he even turned the 100 year old abandoned original Old House into a Haunted House! Sometimes looking back as my siblings and I jump from the simplest Boo... I believe sometimes that Dad lived to scare the heck out of us as kids! Halloween Party: The Nightmare Before Christmas As the year begins to wind down, often one becomes overwhelmed with Thanksgiving plans to Christmas gatherings. For these reasons we started a tradition years ago as our way to Host A Holiday before the mad rush begins... Hence our Halloween Party theme is always "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Why To Host A Halloween Party Low Key - Think about it, hosting a Halloween Party is all about the Outdoors. Grabbing the last glimpses of fall, the pumpkins... Oh My! We host our party in the shop as it makes for easy cleaning and clean up! We cover the floor, tables and let the carving begin! Everyone joins in, from kids to adults to compete for prizes. Laughs are abundant and kids enjoy the freedom of a space to run around, burning off all that energy the candy has encouraged. Costumes - Kids love to dress up! So why not give them ONE LAST go with that carefully thought out Halloween costume. We encourage everyone to dress up! Decorations & Food - By far this is the EASIEST party to prepare to host! The pumpkins are decorations. We toss up some orange lights outside, fill the front yard with pumpkins to give the "Pumpkin Patch" illusion AND as a bonus inside the shop there is a BLACK Christmas tree decorated with ghosts, spiders and skeletons! Food - super simple. We make Tigger's famous chili paired with nachos and of course a charcuterie board filled with meats that we've harvested such as summer sausage, deer jerky plus add in some fruit, homemade jams and nuts! Take it from us - This is the Family and Friends gathering that the kids and adults will remember for years to come! Spooky Ghost Stories That Are Actually True The Bell Witch Haunting (Tennessee, 1817–1821) A Tennessee family was tormented by an invisible entity that scratched, slapped, and even spoke to them. The haunting was so intense that even President Andrew Jackson reportedly visited the farm—and left in a hurry. Proof: Historical affidavits, diary entries, and local records document years of torment. The cave near the Bell property is still a popular (and eerie) destination. The Amityville Horror (New York, 1975) The Lutz family fled their newly purchased house just 28 days after moving in, claiming it was haunted by demonic forces. The house had previously been the site of a brutal family murder. Proof: The original murders were real (by Ronald DeFeo Jr.). The Lutz family passed multiple polygraphs, and the house has drawn countless paranormal investigations. The Stanley Hotel (Estes, Colorado - Entrance to Rocky Mtn National Park) The inspiration for Stephen King's The Shining (Jack Nicholson), this hotel has a reputation for hauntings—especially in room 217. Guests report items moving, ghost children laughing, and piano music playing at night. Proof: King's stay here was real, and his experiences inspired his novel. Guests and staff continue to report ghostly encounters. OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

This week's Out Now with Aaron and Abe horror special looks for frights in the Great White North. The Brandon Peters Show's Brandon Peters and Flicks For Fans' Jason Coleman join Aaron and Abe to discuss Canadian horror. Following a bit of a history lesson on the genre's role in the country, each member of the group presents their picks for the Canadian horror films that they want to spotlight. It should be noted that David Cronenberg mentions are a bit light, as there's a whole separate show that can be done about Canada's most notable filmmaker; however, hear plenty about werewolves, weird monsters, slashers, screamers, summers, and more.

Hi—and welcome back to Horror Movie Podcast, where we're Dead Serious About Horror Movies. Here in Episode 228, emeritus host Jay of the Dead welcomes Pastor Matt, Jigsaw Jackson, and emeritus host Dr. Walking Dead—with more alumni like Dr. Shock and Gillman Joel contributing later. During this historic show, Pastor Matt introduces the new HMP 3.0 roster, officially welcoming two new hosts, Horror Movie Fanboy Brian Scott and Horror Fan Ryan Bratton! Next, the two new hosts share their Top 5 All-Time Favorite Horror Movies and recall their favorite HMP memories.

Each of the rounds features reviews and recommendations from the panel of hosts. Then your hosts deliver a lively Speed Round of additional icy horror highlights, just to quickly name-drop a few more worthy titles for you listeners! And as promised, Dr. Shock and Gillman Joel contribute a wacky segment of their own prior to Jay of the Dead's bonus “review for the road” in a concluding Final Cut segment. In addition, during Episode 228, you will hear Jackson's new theme music for HMP by his band, hello softie., a track titled "Sometimes It Rains in April" from the album, With Heavy Eyes and Bated Breath.Finally, as we wrap up this episode, Pastor Matt shares his thoughts on the future direction of HMP 3.0 and teases some exciting, upcoming episodes.
