This week on The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast, Clay and Amanda tackle one of the more controversial entries in modern holiday horror: the 2019 remake of Black Christmas. It's a film that takes the bones of the 1974 slasher classic and retools them for a new generation, leaning hard into social commentary, glossy production, and a very different kind of menace lurking on a snow-covered college campus. Clay and Amanda break down what works, what doesn't, how it compares to the original, and why this remake sparked so much debate among horror fans. It's festive, furious, and definitely not your grandmother's Christmas movie.Speaking of festive… I've made a terrible mistake. A catastrophic, buttery, powdered-sugar-dusted mistake. I have eaten too many Christmas cookies. Snickerdoodles, sugar cookies, those weird ones shaped like wreaths that somehow taste like almond extract and regret. At first, it was fine. Cozy, even. I told myself, “It's the holidays! Calories don't count.” But now? Now Christmas dinner is looming, and I'm sitting here staring at a plate of gingerbread men like they personally betrayed me. What if I can't eat the ham? What if the mashed potatoes mean nothing to me anymore? This is the real horror.So I'm listening to Clay and Amanda talk about Black Christmas while clutching my stomach and questioning every decision I've made since December 1st. They're discussing masked killers, secret societies, and whether the film earns its place in the franchise — and I'm wondering if I've ruined gravy for myself forever. Still, their conversation is sharp, thoughtful, and way more satisfying than my fourth cookie was.Join Clay and Amanda for this holiday horror deep dive. And take it from me: pace yourself. There's always another cookie… but Christmas dinner only comes once a year.And don't forget to head over to patreon.com/thepenskyfile to follow Clay and Amanda as they wrap up their coverage of remakes and reboots, and join them in the new year for sequels!

Hey Spooksters, Happy Holidays! Today, we are recapping the iconic holiday horror movie, Black Christmas (1974).  Synopsis: Set during the Christmas break, the film centers around the Pi Kappa Sigma sorority house, where the sisters receive a series of disturbing phone calls from an anonymous caller known as "The Moaner." As the holiday festivities unfold, the girls become increasingly uneasy due to the threatening nature of the calls. The tension escalates when one of the sisters, Clare, goes missing, prompting the remaining girls to contact the police, who initially dismiss their concerns.Timestamps: 00:00 - 04:43 Intro00:04:44 - 33:04 RecapDo you want AD FREE episodes published a day EARLY?

The calls didn't stop in 1974. In this special bonus episode of Cinema Shock, we're stepping out of the attic to examine the controversial, neon-soaked, and often misunderstood legacy of the BLACK CHRISTMAS remakes. We start by tearing into the 2006 remake—a film defined by its vibrant "Giallo" color palette, cannibalistic origin stories, and the heavy-handed studio interference that changed the movie's DNA. Then, we pivot to the 2019 Blumhouse reimagining, a divisive entry that traded mystery for a supernatural take on campus culture and systemic power. Finally, we pay tribute to the fans who kept the spirit of the original alive. We dive into the world of fan films, specifically the acclaimed It's Me, Billy (Parts 1 & 2), to discuss how indie creators managed to recapture the atmospheric dread that Hollywood struggled to replicate. We're joined in this episode by special guest John Ferrer, co-founder of the underground 24-hour Christmas movie extravaganza McArathon! Whether you're a 2006 gore-hound or a 1974 purist, join us as we unwrap the sequels and spin-offs that refuse to stay dead. In this episode: The Weinstein influence and the "missing" scenes of 2006. Why the 2019 version shifted from a slasher to a supernatural thriller. How IT'S ME, BILLY serves as the spiritual successor fans waited decades for.

Tune in as the Christmas fun stays strong on 2CC! For this fourth episode of December, Karyn Raynor (Chick-Lit) is jumping back into their guest chair to unpack Black Christmas, the 2006 remake of the 1974 Christmas slasher horror movie in which a house full of sorority sisters face off against a stalker who terrorizes them with unnerving prank phone calls and a thirst for murder. The differences and similarities between this remake and its OG predecessor, the oddness of the sex tape subplot, grief for Michelle Trachtenberg, and appreciation for the campy horror of the Final Destination series emerge as a few of the talking points for this episode.Written and directed by Glen Morgan, Black Christmas (2006) stars Katie Cassidy, Kristen Cloke, Michelle Trachtenberg, Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Lacey Chabert, Andrea Martin, Robert Mann, Oliver Hudson, Karin Konoval, Cainan Wiebe, Jessica Harmon, Leela Savasta, Kathleen Kole, Howard Siegel, Peter Wilds, and Juan Riedinger.Spoilers start at 29:00Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere's how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere's how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere's how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Karen: The Devil You Know with Sarah Marshall• Arthur: A Christmas StoryReach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree

Dan and Brian approach the end of 2025 pondering what makes a "movie year" -- how to measure and rank it, what they've watched on the podcast, and what eras of film history they've under- and overrepresented. Then, they fill an important hole in their podcast's lineup with a look at two 1974 Christmas movies at very different ends of the spectrum: a family stop-motion TV special and a terrifying proto-slasher. Join as they discuss the their competing feelings towards the Rankin-Bass holiday shorts, their histories with and feelings towards Santa Claus mythology, the thinking face emoji, chilling phone calls coming from inside the house, and the role of "female empowerment" themes in both selections. Yes, Virginia, there is a 1974 film. Dan's movie reviews: http://thegoodsreviews.com/ Subscribe, join the Discord, and find us on Letterboxd: http://thegoodsfilmpodcast.com/

In this audio episode, we revisit Bob Clark's 1974 holiday horror classic to see if it still holds up nearly 50 years later. We break down the chilling atmosphere, iconic phone calls, standout performances, and why this film is often cited as the true blueprint for the modern slasher.

From fake boyfriends to messy revelations, chaos erupts as Marissa plots her holiday revenge.The question is: does this movie deliver festive fun, or does the drama overwhelm the cheer?

Welcome to Throbmas! We're having a mini holiday horror marathon from now until Christmas and kicking it off with Black Christmas from 2006.

In this episode of Cult of the Living Dead, we unwrap all three versions of Black Christmas (1974, 2006, and 2019), tracing how one eerie holiday slasher keeps getting reborn for better and worse. The Dale, Cea, and Twan break down the original's suffocating atmosphere, the 2006 remake's mean-spirited excess, and the 2019 reboot's polarizing reinvention. We dig into shifting themes of voyeurism, violence, and gender politics, and how each era's fears bleed into the sorority house walls. From obscene phone calls to disturbing origin stories, this is a franchise defined by its legacies.

Braden Cooley returns to discuss the 1974 holiday-horror classic Black Christmas, as well as the two remakes.Follow Braden on Letterboxd: @bradencFollow Johnny on Instagram and Letterboxd: @JohnnyMocny

Horror! Medo! Desespero! Panetone! É Natal… época de luzes piscando, presentes, confraternização em família…e ligações telefônicas obscenas vindas do sótão. No Podtrash de hoje, o espírito natalino vem embalado em paranoia, gritos abafados e um assassino invisível que redefiniu o slasher antes mesmo do Halloween existir.Lançado em 1974, Black Christmas é um filme que transformou […]

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.

If you're hunting for a Christmas horror movie that isn't cozy or cute, Dead End (2003) is a nasty little gift waiting on a snowy back road. On this episode of Cutting Deep into Horror, hosts Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi sink into the cult Christmas chiller where the Harrington family's Christmas Eve shortcut becomes an endless nightmare of cursed highways, ghostly women in white, and a hearse that feels like it's driving straight out of the afterlife.Recorded as a holiday special (Henrique even wishes “my spookies” a very happy holidays right up top), this conversation leans hard into holiday horror vibes: the stress of family gatherings, the dread of long winter drives, and how Dead End weaponizes Christmas lights, carols, and obligation into something suffocating and surreal.Henrique and Rachael dig into the film's French indie roots and cult status—shot on 35mm for around $900,000 and later becoming a huge word-of-mouth hit on DVD—with an eye for what makes its single stretch of road feel so oppressive.   They unpack the Harrington family's bickering, secrets, and guilt; the symbolism of the woman in white and the black car; and how the twist ending recontextualizes every dark joke and cruel fate along the way.You'll also hear how Dead End stacks up against other Christmas horror classics, why it's perfect “between-holidays” viewing when you're sick of saccharine movies, and whether it deserves a bigger spot in the seasonal horror rotation alongside titles like Black Christmas and Krampus. By the end, you'll know more about Dead End than you ever thought you needed—and probably be eyeing your next late-night drive a little differently.Inside this episodeHoliday stress & family horror: How Dead End turns a simple Christmas Eve drive to the in-laws into a pressure cooker of resentment, secrets, and supernatural punishment.The woman in white & the black car: Breaking down the film's ghostly mythology, the hearse imagery, and what those apparitions say about guilt, death, and being “collected” on that endless winter road.Road-movie minimalism: Why keeping the action on one night, one family, and one stretch of forest highway makes the film feel like a bleak Christmas Twilight Zone episode.Budget vs. atmosphere: The tricks that make a ~$900k holiday horror movie feel bigger and more timeless than many larger-budget 2000s genre films.That twist ending: Henrique & Rachael's interpretation of the finale, Marion's survivor's guilt, and how the movie uses its reveal to reframe the entire Christmas Eve journey.Comparing Christmas horrors: Where Dead End sits in the holiday horror canon—and why road-trip terror might be the most relatable Christmas nightmare of all.Where to watch Dead End (2003) – U.S. streaming(Availability can change—these are current as of December 2025.)Amazon Prime Video (subscription / with ads) – Included with Prime / Prime Video with Ads https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Dead-End-2004/0HY9MUNJC4WLAX4JW97SS647H8 Tubi (free with ads) – Stream the full movie free: https://tubitv.com/movies/451127/dead-end Plex (free with ads) – Watch on Plex's on-demand movie section: https://watch.plex.tv/movie/dead-end Apple TV (rent/buy) – HD rental or purchase: https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/dead-end/umc.cmc.1iym6o3m9wnyrxwfszyeb80p4 Fandango at Home (Vudu) (rent/buy) – Digital rental and purchase: https://athome.fandango.com/content/browse/details/Dead-End/1033867

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. Ghost Story (1981) – Streaming on Amazon Prime Video (including Prime with ads), with digital rent/buy options on Amazon, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. Christmas Massacre (Game) – Available digitally on Steam, GOG, PlayStation, Xbox, and directly from the Puppet Combo store for PC collectors. Young Frankenstein (1974) – As of this week it's not on major subscription services in the U.S.; your best bet is grabbing a digital copy or Blu-ray from retailers like Amazon and other disc shops. Hit play on this episode of This Week in Horror History for a Christmas horror history lesson you can turn directly into a holiday horror movie night—plus the details on our sponsor's special seasonal deal.Support the show and get a tasty energy drink without the crash at AspireDrinks.com and get 25% off with promo code SPOOKY at checkout!
