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).

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…
Advent Calendar
This one is French, so there’s closed caption. The story is pretty good, nice quality production and acting. Follow the rules of the Advent calendar or Ich will kill you. Spooky being in the other realm each time she opens a door. Good quality horror. Worth watching.
Christmas Horror
Every year before between Halloween and Thanksgiving, it’s a weird time for movies. I mean, Rhys and I watch horror movies year round, so it’s not too much different just because its Halloween. And, of course, after Thanksgiving, there’s plenty of Christmas movies to watch. That leaves most of November. To me, it makes sense,…

13 Slays till x-mas
Low budget which means low production quality. Canterbury tales the Christmas horror edition. Some are better than others, mostly too short. Nice to add Vengeance at the end. They are playing with the tradition of telling scary stories in Christmas Eve which is something I do like.
