Send us a textOn Christmas Eve 2008, Bruce Pardo walked into the Ortega home and murdered 9 of the 25 people inside. Sylvia Pardo filed for divorce from Bruce, and that divorce was finalized one week before her murder. Bruce Pardo was ordered by the Court to give his ex-wife $1,700 in alimony and $10,000 in backpay. He didn't want to give Sylvia a dime. Instead, he will dress as Santa and walk into a home on Christmas Eve looking to murder as many people in the Ortega family as possible. Start your year off right and book your massage today with Ashley Palos today!

On December 24, 2008, 45-year-old Bruce Jeffrey Pardo dressed as Santa Claus carrying weapons and a Christmas package, walked up to the home of Joseph and Alicia Ortega where they were having a Christmas Eve party for 25-30 family members.

Episode Notes Join us this week for our Christmas Episode! Not surprising to find that this can be a dark and dangerous time of year. We will each share with you a family annihilator of sorts. To start Meredith tells us the story of the Lawson Family murders on Christmas Day. Hannah brings us the twisted case of the Hillbilly from Hell aka Ronald Gene Simmons. Then Sarah exposes the gruesome details about Bruce Pardo and his very unfriendly Christmas gifts. You will also hear some fun tidbits about Yule.

On Christmas Eve, Jupiter in Aquarius will be square Uranus in Taurus and on Sunday 12/26 Mercury in Capricorn will be sextile Neptune in Pisces. Merry Christmas listeners! Smooches!

Christmas parties are a time for joy, laughs, and family. A time to be shared with the ones you love. But sometimes, the ones who love us, have a different plan. That was the case of Bruce Jeffrey Pardo, the Killer Santa. Bruce Pardo was not the ideal anything, and he did not handle that very well. The events that led up to the night on Christmas Eve would alter the lives of many people including his own.Website: www.notanotherhorrorpodcast.com Murder Me Tinderly:https://www.podpage.com/murder-me-tinderly/follow/ Buy Me A Coffee and help support the show: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/NAhorrorpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notanotherhorrorpodcast Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/NAhorrorpodcast Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/not-another-horror-podcast/donations

Join us as we discuss some Slayer Santas with criminal tendencies! We kick things off by exploring all the different laws and regulations Santa breaks on a regular basis, from tax evasion to unlawful surveillance. Next, we dive into …And All Through the House, both the segment from the 1972 anthology film and the episode from the 1989 television series Tales from the Crypt, the ladder featuring the most menacing Larry Drake as the escaped lunatic. We also get to hear Mike's Cryptkeeper impersonation! If you've ever wanted to glue a beard and eyebrows to your face and go on a Yuletide rampage, then Christmas Evil aka You Better Watch Out from 1980, which is John Waters favorite Christmas themed film, is just for you. A Black Christmas / Friday the 13th mashup, To All a Goodnight. 1984's Silent Night, Deadly Night also gets a lengthy, in-depth analysis, just in time for GARBAGE DAY! The film with many names that the ripped off as the basis for Home Alone, Dial Code Santa Claus aka Game Over features a Slayer Santa and a young French Rambo. Wrapping it all up, we get silly with the horrible Silent Night remake from 2012, which was partially inspired by the tragic real life Covina Massacre on Christmas Eve in 2008, where Bruce Pardo crashed the party of his in-laws and killed 9 members of his ex-wife's family dressed in a custom made Santa suit before torching their house with a homemade flamethrower that he brought with him wrapped as a present.

*PLEASE NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to the release of Murderotica. Any mention of "This is Trash" is in reference to our former podcast. We just really loved this episode and wanted to give y'all something to binge. Here's to more foreplay and less foul-play!* – On December 24th, 2008 Bruce Pardo, dressed as Santa Claus entered the home of the Ortega family and took the lives of 9 individuals.  In this episode, Mel introduces us to the Ortegas and Pardo and exactly what went down the weeks prior to the massacre and the evening itself. Bruce is a sick piece of shit who not only abandoned a wife and special needs child but selfishly took out his inadequacy issues on an entire family. Not to mention who he was planning to kill next.  We really wanted to keep the theme of this month's true crime Christmas related, but this story will definitely not make you feel jolly. I know we needed some hot cocoa and Hallmark movies after this one.  – References:  https://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-santa-shooting31-2008dec31-story.html https://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-pardo28-2008dec28-story.html https://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-santa-shooting30-2008dec30-story.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1101822/Pictured-The-home-flame-thrower-Santa-Suit-spurned-ex-husband-used-slaughtered-people.html https://www.oxygen.com/martinis-murder/covina-massacre-santa-suit-bruce-pardo-ortega-family https://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/12/27/santa.shooting/index.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeSvPr8Ar3k&ab_channel=MorbidMinds https://medium.com/california-dreaming/bruce-pardo-the-santa-claus-shooter-a3225f4baac2 – Find us on: instagram | twitter | murderoticapodcast@gmail.com

On this week's episode we are taking you on a tour of some awful Christmas massacres. We talk about family annihilators, Bruce Pardo wearing a Santa costume to his ex-wife's family Christmas party and murdered 9 of her guests including her, as well as Aziz Yazdanpanah also dressed as Santa and murdered his entire family including his estranged wife and from 1929 a man named Charlie Lawson murdered his entire family except for his eldest son who he sent to town on the day of the murders. These murders are some of the saddest, since this time of year is supposed to be the happiest for families and friends. So, give it a listen and let us know what you think. Thank you for listening and your continued support!
