Welcome to our first side dish – a quick talk about a great public domain horror movie. In fact, this one is the first recognized horror movie – House of the Devil from Georges Méliès. While it’s short – 3 minutes – its fascinating to see this put together and be a horror movie (loosely defined).
You can check it out and watch this classic:

Christmas Evil
I’m not much of a slasher movie fan. And when it comes to Christmas horror, there are a lot of slasher movies. A whole lot. Much attention is placed on Black Christmas because it was one of the first. While Christmas Evil was later (even after Friday the 13th), I would argue it’s a better…
Season 05 Episode 07 – The Banishing
Overview This time we’re watching a movie that was direct to streaming on the Shudder channel. Shudder has definitely picked up in recent times from a station that only played the cheesiest movies to now doing their own. How does this movie compare to Christopher Smith’s Triangle? Well, of course, listen to find out. it’s…
Christmas Bloody Christmas
Does having a DOJ robotic Santa on a killing spree make it a better Christmas slasher? No it doesn’t. Love the cut in half with the axe kill and the face stomp on the stairs kill. Kind of lame sex for a slasher.
Dead Snow and Dead Snow 2: Red vs Dead
Not really Christmas, it’s Easter, but there’s a lot of snow. The sex scene in the outhouse when it’s like 50 below. Hmm. Zombies breathe in this one because you can see their breath in the snow. I’ve never seen so many uses for intestines – especially ones still connected. This is basically Evil Dead…
2024 Horror – Thon
As many of our long time listeners know, we do a horror-thon every Halloween. We usually have a child or 2 in attendance and sometimes a few others. We pick about 3 or 4 movies we’d like to see for one reason or another and have a go. This year was a great line up:…
All Through the House
Another Christmas horror of a psycho slasher that uses song lyrics for the title. It takes quite awhile to get the ‘motivation’ for the killer Santa, but you can probably guess it right now. You killed my daughter and ruined my life – now I’m back for revenge. I’ve never seen anyone take so long…
And to all a good night
This obviously was greenlit after the success of Black Christmas and Friday the 13th. Story is around a sorority that had an accidental death years ago and now they’ve come back to get revenge. If you’re looking for a heavy plot, keep looking. This is 1980 and about college girls – so it’s trying to…
All the Creatures Were Stirring
Another anthology movie. Takes place on Christmas Eve with a couple attending a play. Like most of the anthologies, some of the short stories are better than others. Not as good as Creepshow but about on par with Tales from the Darkside. There is a SAW story, another similar to Advent, A Christmas Carol (of…
A Christmas Carol comparisons
What would Christmas be without a good ghost story? What you say? You don’t tell ghost stories at Christmas? Well, why not! This is an old Victorian tradition that has fallen out of favor. But its still a part of our culture. What about the Andy Williams song – The Most Wonderful Time of the…
