New Year's Eve, 1974. The campus of Stanford University is shocked to discover that a ritualistic murder that was committed in the sprawling and beautiful university church had ties to Satanism.

Ket tells Kim about Black Christmas (1974) in honor of our beloved Sammie, Mac Parker, who campaigned his heart out for this Holiday Horror pick in our Patreon poll. At the time we recorded this, the girls never could have predicted that it would end up being a tribute to the memory of Olivia Hussey. Among her many accomplishments, she was also the reason Ketryn realized that sexuality was a spectrum. Most importantly, rest in eternal peace, our Juliet, our Final Girl, Jess Bradford, the effervescent Olivia Hussey.Dir.

Horror Weekly Episode #313 We're continuing our December of Holiday Horror with five more holiday-themed scare classics.  We'll begin with an odd home invasion kind of story with 2020's “Hosts,” then we'll find that “There's Something in the Barn” from 2023. We'll deal with grief and isolation with “The Melancholy Fantastic” from 2011, then visit “The Dorm That Dripped Blood” from 1982. Then we'll go way back in time to watch how “The Curse of the Cat People” from 1944 plays out. Yes, all of these have a holiday tie-in of some sort.  And, of course, we have five excellent short films for you, although they aren't all particularly holiday-themed.   The latest issue of “Horror Monthly” is now on sale, with 43 reviews plus a short story, this time by Brian.

It's Rylee and Jaj here, serving up holiday vibes, family awkwardness, and questionable gift decisions on this holly jolly episode of Good As New. Christmas Eve is here (!!!), and we're diving into the magic, the mess, and the madness of last-minute wrapping, weird holiday traditions, and the inevitable family drama (because let's be honest, someone always makes it weird).From creepy uncles to dirty jokes gone wrong at family parties, we're sharing your hilarious—and slightly horrifying—holiday disaster stories. Plus, we're spilling on navigating the “holiday parent split,” setting boundaries, and how to gracefully dodge your mother-in-law's cinnamon rolls when you're secretly craving your mom's stuffing.Takeaway? YOU create the magic, not the gifts. But hey, if you're listening, Santa, we wouldn't say no to an Aritzia coat or a therapy session that doesn't leave us emotionally wrecked.Hug your people, snap those family pics (but put your phone down after), and have yourself a drama-free (ish) Christmas Eve.

Tis the season in this Holiday Horror where the halls will be decked in blood instead as Santa starts delivering kills instead of presents!

After talking about a disturbing dream involving Tom Cruise, we talk about movie franchises. There is talk of the MCU, Aliens, and Universal monsters, but what's really on our minds is what is next for the M3gan Universe. We also share our memories on 28 Days Later and discuss the upcoming sequel.Christmas may be the second spookiest time of year, but it is still surprising just how many holiday horror movies are out there. Just when you think you have heard about all of them, Tubi shows you there are way more than you could ever imagine. It is overwhelming. Until you see a movie called The Elf in which the titular character goes on a killing spree.If only it were as simple as it sounded. What should be a silly holiday horror watch turns into a serious character study about….paranoia? Maybe? It is easy to say The Elf makes no sense, but that would be an insult to every nonsensical movie ever. The acting is awful, there seems to be no script, and things move painfully slow. On the plus side, there is a cool kill involving gift wrap.We may not be card carrying members of the UFO community, but we enjoy hearing stories about extraterrestrials. The Program had promise. UFO documentaries have to contain a certain amount of sensationalism, but this one seemed like it would be a little more grounded. And there was some good stuff here. It's unfortunate that it relied so much on old tricks. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network. Morbidly Beautiful is your one stop shop for all your horror needs.

Tonight we delve deep into the dark side of the holiday spirit as we explore the terrifying intersections of love, loss, and lethal intentions in our gripping episode, "Horrors of the Night: When Christmas Turns Deadly." Our beloved narrator, Hnrique Couto, guides us through chilling tales that will make your spine tingle and your heart race, all while you sip that hot cocoa and snuggle into your warmest blankets.We kick off our eerie anthology with a gripping story titled "Xmas at the Psych Ward," where a troubled youth named Caleb faces the unthinkable within the sterile walls of a psychiatric hospital. On a snowy Christmas Eve, worry pains Caleb as he reflects on his past mistakes and unfulfilled yearnings. The psych ward turns sinister as holiday cheer takes a dark turn when a murderous presence lurks among the guests. As tensions rise and secrets unfold, Caleb will come to reckon with his demons—both mental and malevolent.Next, we journey to "Christmas at Pendleton Station," a dystopian narrative set against the backdrop of a world forever altered by supernatural calamity. Our protagonist, Kasselia Tabon, traverses the snowy wastelands, where ancient evils and technological nightmares collide. A battle against the undead Santa Claus and a desperate quest for survival are filled with perilous trials and explosive revelations as Kasselia learns what it truly means to engage with the spirit of Christmas, not just as a symbol of joy, but as a testament to strength and courage in the face of darkness.In "Santa's Little Helper," we witness the chaotic consequences of holiday cheer turned horror. Ronnie Baxley, our washed-up Santa, faces a fateful encounter with a terrifying little girl whose innocence masks malevolence. Children and parents alike find themselves ensnared in a ghastly holiday fracas, and Ronnie discovers that the season of goodwill can breed horrific outcomes when the misfits of the world come out to play. Will the darkness swallow the valley whole, or will our unlikely protagonist find the strength to fight back?The terrors continue in "The Day That Santa Died," as we delve into the heart-wrenching, true-crime autobiography of Jonathan L. Copeland. This haunting narrative provides a unique perspective on the duality of Santa's mythos and the darker world of assassins hiding in plain sight. Is he a hero or a monster? This story compels us to question the morality of right and wrong during a time that is traditionally about kindness and sharing. Closing our frightful festival is "Inner Rage," where Regan Devereaux struggles with her identity as both a protector and a killer. Tangled in a web of love, loss, and the supernatural, Regan's Christmas Eve takes a drastic turn. In dynamic prose, we experience her battle against ancient horrors entwining her fate and the safety of those she loves. Will love prevail, or will darkness claim her once more?So grab your favorite holiday drink and prepare yourself for an evening of spine-chilling stories guaranteed to keep you up through the long winter night. This festive season, let us embrace the blend of joy and fear; as we remind ourselves that indeed, not all that's bright and cheerful is devoid of shadows. Join us for an exchange of thrills that will not only haunt your dreams but also linger in your heart long after the last tale fades into silence!

Holiday Horror Stories: Chocolate burp, electricity thieves, shots by 102.9 The Hog

In this festive episode of *Cutting Deep into Horror*, hosts Henrique Couto and Rachael Redolfi reunite to discuss the chilling 2016 Christmas horror film, *Better Watch Out*. As the holiday countdown crescendos, the duo offers a deep exploration of the movie's unsettling narrative, juxtaposing typical Christmas warmth with dark themes of obsession, violence, and the often hidden scars of childhood trauma.The episode opens with Henrique sharing his longstanding tradition of expressing feelings during the holidays, a sentiment that suddenly contrasts with the grotesque events of the film they are about to dissect. Rachael joins in with her customary cheer, setting the tone for a night that will delve into the darker side of Christmas cinema while reckoning with heavy topics like trauma and mental health.As they situate the film within a broader context of Christmas horror, the hosts introduce listeners to the lead character, Luke, a seemingly innocent 12-year-old with sinister intentions towards his babysitter, Ashley, played by Olivia DeJonge. The pair dissects the layers of Luke's character, illustrating the blurred lines between childhood innocence and emerging psychopathy while discussing the film's various clichés and themes.

The hosts cover the rise of Luke's dark humor and cold calculations, leading to brutal moments that leave the audience in stunned silence. The meticulous details in his planning are highlighted as the conversation draws close to the shocking climax.With palpable intensity, the conversation intensifies when discussing the violent escalation that ensues, particularly the twisted finale and the chilling aftermath.

December brings our annual Holiday Horror episode. This year we discuss the legendary Canadian film BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974) and we have much to say. Turns out this is our tenth year of this Holiday tradition which surprised and slightly freaked me out. But Troy Guinn and John Hudson are rightly proud of our decade long series and glad to finally talk about the one that might have started the whole sub-genre. Sadly, our ages are starting to show, starting with the fact that none of us can remember when we first saw this classic horror film. Very strange. We dive right in and forego the usual plot synopsis in hopes that listeners will have seen the movie. We lament that we have never been able to read the 1976 novelization and note that a brand new one is coming out any day now. We talk about the actors quite a lot with Troy boldly stating that this is the best ensemble cast of any slasher film ever. Others may disagree. We take the time to point out that phone technology and the concept of an ‘obscene phone call' seem to have gone the way of the 8-track tape. And we discuss the sure directorial hand of Bob Clark while lamenting his 1990's career slide into profitable but inane children's films. Also, we ask the serious question of whether John Saxon ever actually solved a crime onscreen. This will require research! If you have thoughts on BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974) or any other Holiday Horror thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send them. Thank you for listening and beware of attic monsters.

It's that wonderful time of the year: sweater weather, hot chocolate, and watching killers incorporate Christmas knick-knacks to create festive kills! We had the pleasure of sitting down with Angele (Belles of Horror) to chat about these five films that made things merry and bloody! Whether you're a horror fanatic or just looking to spice up your holiday movie lineup, these films deliver chills and cheer in equal measure. 1. A Christmas Horror Story (2015) A chilling anthology that intertwines multiple Christmas-themed tales of terror, featuring everything from zombie elves to a Krampus showdown with Santa Claus. Why Watch: The seamless blend of humor and horror, topped with William Shatner as a radio DJ narrating the chaos, makes this a holiday must-watch. 2. A Wonderful Knife (2023) This darkly comedic slasher is an homage to the Frank Capra classic as it reimagines Christmas cheer with a sharp edge, where the season of giving turns into a season of survival Why Watch: It's like a Hallmark Christmas movie got lost in a slasher film—unexpected, gory, and oddly heartwarming. 3. Krampus (2015) When a dysfunctional family loses their holiday spirit, they summon the wrath of Krampus, the terrifying anti-Santa of folklore, and learn the true/terrifying meaning of Christmas. Why Watch: The mix of practical effects, dark humor, and a wonderful cast creates a modern holiday horror classic. 4. Violent Night (2022) Santa Claus himself takes up arms to save a family held hostage on Christmas Eve in this action-packed thrill ride. Why Watch: Ever wondered what would happen if Santa went full John Wick? This film answers that question with hilarious and bloody results. 5. Gremlins (1984) What starts out as a charming and furry Christmas gift quickly turns into chaos when mischievous creatures run amok in a small town. Why Watch: A nostalgic blend of horror and comedy, Gremlins is the ultimate Christmas creature feature that still holds up decades later. So, grab some eggnog, cozy up by the fire, and join us as we explore the darker, wilder side of Christmas movies. This episode will have you laughing, screaming, and appreciating the holiday spirit in ways you never expected. And yes, Canada is mentioned…a lot.

From an island nation born from fire and ice in the frosty North Atlantic to an ancient land in the British Isles... the old ways that pre-date Christianity are rife with terrifying creatures that dominated the nightmares of good and bad, young and old alike when the calendar turned to late December...
