From the Crypt: We’re Dreaming of a Black Christmas & Other Holiday Nightmares

We loved all the Christmas horror films. Like Home Alone. You know what? Forget Jigsaw, the original mastermind of torture was Kevin McAllister. Do you remember what he did to Joe Pesci in that movie? First, he set his scalp on fire, and then he shot him in the dick. Joe Pesci suffered less in good fellas. And then there's Silent Night, Deadly Night, which you all know it. It's a movie about an audience that didn't laugh hard enough at the comic, so she fucking killed them. Then there's Black Christmas, which is about this guy who just brutalizes these young, perfect, popular, skinny sorority girls who have their whole lives ahead of them on Christmas. I mean, what a hero. It really is the most wonderful time of the year. But gremlins, I think, is my favorite. Gremlins. But I had a realization upon watching it. I thought, women over 35, our bodies turn into gremlins. We do, we turn into them. Think about it. You can't expose us to direct sunlight or we get cancer. You can't feed us after midnight, or we get fat. And if you get us wet, we multiply. Oh yeah.

The four K UHD version of Silent Night, Deadly Night, which I mean, it it's a movie. Let's just put it this way. I encourage everyone to see it if they haven't seen it, but I also want you to do a little homework on it before you watch it. Because when you understand what it did in the industry in the mid-80s and what it evoked from the zeitgeist, as they say, and protests. And if you thought that in 2024, horror is is part of the mainstream, folks need to understand the roads that horror came from to be into the mainstream. And it wasn't easy. You had a society that was pushing back strongly on slasher and horror films. The religious right had a massive presence in how films were displayed. The rating systems had just come into effect for less than a decade. And Halloween set it all off. And then he had my bloody Valentine, and you had just about all of them. And there was this weird um little shield around Christmas because it was so it was the sanctity. It was something you shouldn't mess with. Like in Terrifier when they finally went after the kids and all that. So Silent Knight, Deadly Night said, F it. We're gonna turn Christmas into a horror movie. And we're talking coming out of the 70s into the 80s, there was some graphic, graphic stuff in that. I mean, hard Rs involving Santa in that movie. And it was unbelievable the trauma that the kid had in it because I think the audience was traumatized after the first 15 minutes of looking from a child's point of view at what Santa did to his family and then putting him into an orphanage. And it just sets it off from there. And I still watch it annually because it's such a low-budget film, and I have a passion for films that were made on actual film and not digital. I just love the warmth of that. And I'm trying to romanticize a movie about a psychotic Santa Claus slasher. But uh I would uh I would recommend if if if anybody had any watching this nice new 4K scan print of Silent Knight, Deadly Night. Uh have any of you seen it?

Oh, yeah, a while a time ago, yeah.

Yeah, beautiful. Yeah.

Might be due for a rewatch, though. Yeah, I'm thinking so.

And uh so uh our friend Spencer Charnus at Ice Nine Kills also at his Silver Scream 2 had uh the two the the characters from part one and two. Part two I'll get to later, but uh during one of his Santa's songs, yeah, Spencer has a Santa Claus slaying song. He actually had the actor from part one come out with an axe in full Santa Claus outfit at the show at the convention on stage, and it was it was just fun. That's so fun.

Spencer's the best, he just has the best ideas, and everyone's like so on board, like, yeah, let's do it.

I'm and if folks folks don't folks know what they see on social media about how he references horror all the time. I don't think people understand just how legit a horror nerd that he is to the point where legit he doesn't quote a line, he'll quote the surrounding character's lines that lead up to an entire scene beginning to end, and it is absolutely impressive. Like I I'll I was sitting with him on the bus ride, sitting in a restaurant, and we quote like he's one of the friends that quotes with you. Like you'll see something, you both think the same thing, you use a movie quote. That's him. And when he does that, man, it it's it it'll he could put just about every horror fan to shame with his knowledge.

Oh, agreed. Easily agree with that.

Isn't it cool that horror nerds create like just great minds in this industry?

Absolutely. Absolutely because and because we're horror fans, and because we came from a place of people not accepting it, and still to this day laughing at it at times. And I roll with it because the folks that still laugh, it shows how completely out of tune that they are with what society is like now. Horror is it, horror conventions stemming from this, you're bringing kids to them. You're the kids are meeting the horror icons and dressed as the horror icon. Bingo. Yeah. Some folks who aren't familiar with it are aghast by it. But if they understood that what takes place in that forum and how real life for a lot of the fans is scarier than what's in the film.

Yeah, true.

It's actually a much safer place at these conventions and around fellow horror fans than it is in the real world where it tries to repress that stuff.

Very true, very true. These horror fans are like, they'll give you the shirt off their back, they'll give you the ghost face outfit off their back, you know, like it's they're always just the sweetest people, even though sometimes you might see, oh, that's a huge tattooed guy. Um, you know, like Bo from uh from the from Trick or Treat, who we met on. He, if you saw him outside, you didn't know him, he'd be like, oh my god, that guy could beat the crap out of me. He's a bigger guy, his tattoos, but he's like just this wonderful teddy bear, and he's got this most beautiful little girl, and his wife is so lovely. I'm like, that's just the nicest family, you know, and it's and we met them on the murder wall at the at Spencer shoot, so it's pretty cool.

Like, and that and that's the beauty of it. It really is. Like people are like, oh, big and scary, but it goes to show like take time to get to know people. Yeah, like it it completely takes the whole don't judge a book by its cover thing. Right. We kind of flip it and go, okay, are you gonna judge me based off of this, or you're gonna actually get to know me? Right. And that's the beauty of this, and especially around the holidays. If you leave a copy of this laying around, you can tell who judges a book by its cover and who gets it. Because usually when people see it, they give a little giggle at first, and then they're like, Oh, I remember watching that. And conversations take place, but then you have other people that'll look at this cover and go, Oh, oh my god, that's not what Santa is. And you know what? There's the door for Christmas.

Bye.

You know, B, where the hell have you been, Loca? Uh, sorry, I was just out looking for a sparkly vampire, but it's been so overcast here in LA that I didn't see any. Good, good, good. By the way, that's a line from the movie.

That's why I said it. Well, listen, I've been looking for some stress relief because the holidays are here, and uh And it's officially season.

You're pressed how I did that, huh?

I am. And the magic oil box just launched two Twilight-inspired shower steamers.

These are the scents of a killer, Bella.

Oh god, not you two.

Sorry, he is one of my favorite Batmen. Michael Keaton. Anyway. First up, there's Eternal Twilight. It's cooling, clarifying blend with rosemary peppermint, frankincense. Oh, so basically what Bella needed every time she hyperventilated for no reason? Yeah, actually. And and then there's Spirit of Lapush, which is grounding and earthy. It's got sage, juniper berry, eucalyptus, vetiver.

Perfect for when you need to tap into your inner wolf pack without imprinting on anyone's baby. Team Jacob.

That's cool. And the whole imprinting thing is still weird. I've never we're gonna move on. We're moving on.

Yeah. Yeah. A little weird. Um, but B, where can our listeners get them? Say it out loud.

Say yay. Get them at the magicoilbox.com and use code SLAYNerds15 to save. Whether you're a fan of Twilight or you're trying to survive the memes.

But at the same time, that's one I'd put that up there um as one of my staples for Christmas.

I love it.

We uh we approve.

Yep. Horror nerd approved.

Bonnie, what what which which ones tickle your fancy?

I think I'm gonna say non-traditional ones, um, in the sense of people think of them as like fun. You know what's thought of as fun, but I think kind of scary is it's a wonderful life.

Oh, absolutely. That's uh honestly, it's a wonderful life is is I put as my number one favorite movie of all time. Yeah, it actually is. It's uh it was in my top five, but it became number one over the past few years because I think what it says about the world is it it the world is a scary place. And the real villains are amongst us.

Yep.

And I'll put Bonnie, go ahead.

No, that's my that's my hot take. But but Jimmy Stewart's acting in it is is phenomenal. If you want a masterclass in acting, right there. Right there.

Um Do you want me to throw in a little factoid?

Always.

So do you remember the scene where he went to his mother's house and it would be in he had never been born and she didn't recognize him? And she was running the boarding house for women.

Yeah.

And he runs down the steps and stares directly into the camera.

Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around, he leaves an awful hole, isn't he?

That look in his face of su sheer terror. Um, he actually had just came out of World War II as a fighter pilot. You're so you know this.

I did know that. I didn't know. In case anybody else doesn't know. No, no, no, you tell it. You're already doing it. Tell our audience who's listening. Tell me, I don't know.

So Jimmy Stewart had a lot of trauma coming out of World War II, and he literally jumped right back into filmmaking, and he had he had PTSD from it. So when he focused on like sheer terror, when the when uh Frank Capra told him to stare in the camera and give us this look of you don't know your identity's gone, your whole world is gone, but you're still alive. What do you do? And he stared into that camera, and folks have a chance to look at it. It's iconic because it seems very Hitchcock and before Hitchcock. Uh it it when it zoomed right in in his face, and a look of sheer terror. Um he had told people like it wasn't that hard because it he literally just thought back to the war, which was recent. And uh he that scene it that is at times a horror movie. It absolutely is. It's like the first episode of the Twilight Zone, in my opinion.

Yeah, that's my hot take. That in Home Alone. Uh-huh. Kevin was hunting those men.

Yeah, I have a bit about how the most insidious offenders come from Chicago. H. H. Holmes, John Wade Gacy, Kevin McAllister. My boyfriend. Yeah, your yeah, your boyfriend. Um, like if you think about it, honestly, remember? Okay, so like he he set his scalp on fire, he shot one guy on the dick. It's like Joe Pesci suffered less than good, fellas. Honestly.

No, let's talk. What casino?

Oh, I love casino.

When he got the bat in the Iowa cornfields.

Yeah. Oh, that was brutal. Oh, that was brutal. But that movie was so good. Oh my god. Brutal.

But Bonnie, uh so which scene was the scariest for you in Home Alone?

Uh, when his scary neighbor makes up with his family. No, I'm only kidding. Um, that was that was wonderful and heartwarming. Um the the foot in the the nail in the foot. Oh yeah. I can sit through terrifier and just go like, ooh, okay, but like stuff like that, ooh, I have to look away every time. The foot in the like the nail in the foot. I can't do it. That's like what gets me. I can't explain it. I don't know.

Where they film that, it just took the the frames were enough time that you're like, oh my god, this is gonna happen. This is gonna happen. This is gonna happen, and then it happens.

Oh, yeah. I I don't think it's it's almost as bad, but not quite as bad as Gage in Pet Cemetery under the bed with the scalpel knife thing where he cuts his ankle. That's just a little bit worse for me than the the home alone.

Just a little bit worse. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Oh gosh. All right. So Sam, I know you're fresh off of Terrifier 3, but for you, what are your couple of your favorite holiday movies?

So I have to, I mean, I know that, you know, we gotta give a shout out to Gremlins in Misery, but those are not it for me. It's actually Jack Frost. Oh yeah, I stand by it. I'm going full camp. I don't give a shit. I mean, how does it so it's it's kind of a similar Chucky story where a serial killer, so he dies in a car crashed, and then his spirit goes into a snowman and he wants to take revenge against the sheriff who who you know turned him in and the the town. But it's like it's so fucking cheesy. Like I think he kills a naked girl with a carrot, like at some point, and he's in the shower all of a sudden it's like, how? What is what is happening? And I think Shannon Elizabeth is in it.

It's already no. It's just cold moderate. It's crazy.

Um, it's so fucking cheesy. And the thing is, my mom was not a horror fan, really, but we just loved this movie. We thought it was the funniest goddamn thing ever. We watched it every time and laughed our asses off. We were rooting for an evil snowman. Um, but the thing is, that's not actually the scary Jack Frost. The scary Jack Frost is a Michael Keaton movie where it's the same situation, except he plays a deadbeat dad and he dies in a car accident. His son makes a wish on a magical harmonica and he comes back as a snowman and they play hockey, and that's the whole fucking movie.

Like see, when you started this off, I think You thought I meant that woman. Yeah, because Michael Keaton toupee in that was brutal.

Yeah, uh no. I love Michael Keaton so much. Like that man is insanely incredible. I love him. However, choices. Like, why that movie? Why?

He had to make that because he turned down a couple of Batmen and he would have he regrets that in the long run.

Yeah, uh, I don't know. I love him so much. I would, I would, the coolest thing ever. Um, I mean, my grandpa, right? Alan Hale Jr., he did a lot of cool stuff. But one of the most fun things is that he got to be in Johnny Dangerously. Jenny Dangerous, um, where he got to play like the Yeah, he got to play the judge who sentenced Michael Keaton's character. And I'm just, I would have killed to be on set that day, to be in the room with those two men at the same time. Oh my god. Yeah. So that just makes me happy. But it's incredible. Yeah. Um, but I I want to say so of the newer movies, probably the newer Christmas movie. I mean, Violet Night was fun, Krampus was fun, but have you guys seen Better Watch Out?

No.

No, but that's on my list. It's ranked goodbye.

It is really fun. It is very well done, super smart, has a great twist. Um, and like the actors are good. It's it's it's a different spin on a babysitter Christmas movie. It's really good. It's really good. I would watch it.

Okay.

Yeah.

I got a guy in this house who loves Santa, so there you go.

Perfect, perfect.

Yeah, and that was like 2016, I think it came out.

Okay.

Yeah, it was. It's actually I'm I'm on Rotten Tomatoes right now. Okay. Actually listed very high. Uh they listed it's good. They listed like 48 Christmas movies here, and I I have I haven't seen a great majority of them. Um, but uh it's better watch out was listed number three of all time.

Oh shit, yeah. Okay.

What do you think number one is?

Uh is it Silent Night, Deadly Night, or is it Black Christmas?

Nope. So let me let me give you those positions right now. The uh Black Christmas is 22nd. Whoa, yes, and then if I keep scrolling further, Silent Night, Deadly Night is 35th.

Yes, does a nightmare before Christmas count?

That is the number one ranked movie in this list.

I mean, who doesn't love that movie? When that movie came out, my poor dad had to take me to Burger King every day so I could collect all the different watches and the lifted figurine. I literally, my last tattoo I got on not this Friday the 13th, but the last one. I got the vampire teddy. I mean, come on.

But you had it made.

It was on a flash sheet. I said, that one, and I got it. And then I went to another, had it like, yeah. Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

I mean, if you really think about it, how can it? Not be the number one Christmas movie of all time.

It's universally, everybody loves it.

Because the tones we still look at as a Halloween film, right?

Yeah.

But meanwhile, it truly is a Christmas movie.

It's a Christmas movie. Because Jack genuinely wants to find the Christmas spirit. He genuinely wants something different than Halloween.

Yeah.

So he's trying to do a good thing. It maybe doesn't work out the way he plans, but he's trying to get into that spirit. And he's really nice to Santa, even though nobody else is. Don't ask luck, shock, and barrel, but right?

Oh, I love it. So that that turned into my son's uh an instant favorite for him.

Oh yeah.

He if he he actually started liking it when he was one.

Smart kit.

And then this year we put it on again, and he kept wanting it back on and on and on. So I will never fight that. So that that's a good number one to have. Do you know what number two was?

Wait, gremlins? We didn't say gremlins. Batman returns. Batman returns!

Oh, that's the best one. I I wish it's not horror. Is it diehard?

No, it's not horror.

Um, it's Rare Exports, a Christmas Tale. 89% meter.

Wow.

Yeah, and uh that is on my list to watch this year. Um, it looks like uh they're transporting uh Santa in this. Uh I have to get on this. Gremlins was is number four, Anna and the Apocalypse in 2017. I haven't seen it is number five, and number six is Terrifia three.

That moved up fast. Wow.

And but here's a real so I I love the old ones. The Curse of the Cat people in 1944 is number nine of all.

Oh wow.

And closing out the top ten, you have Carnage for Christmas came out this year. It's already wait a minute.

The Williams Family Special.

Yeah. Uh sorry, Mom. I haven't seen it yet either, but it's got an 89, and uh, I'm gonna reserve judgment on that for a bit. But yeah, a lot of the old school staples are very far down on the list in this. So that's a good but that's a good thing, isn't it? That means we have more films to watch.

Making good stuff still, yeah.

Yeah, but uh I I'll I'll give a uh apropos uh a second place. I'll give uh home alone number two.

Oh, because of the pigeon lady.

Well no, because I mean it truly is a horror movie if you think about it. You've got Pennywise at the front desk as the uh concierge. Sure do. You've got a piece of crap orange man giving bad directions to a child, and then you have a completely out of the wrong directions, by the way.

Yeah, slide.

Exactly. And then don't forget, the bag boy is a transphobic piece of crap in certain actors playing that role. So there's uh there's a lot of scary people in that movie.

Snob writer, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Snob writer.

Yeah, there's uh a little guy who who was making copies and the copier for a long time and then appeared in that movie. And he's he's uh really fallen from grace. But uh let's see.

She could do it.

Yeah, you could do it all night. Meanwhile, he's got some iconic lines in other films, but yeah, that truly is a horror movie to me. And now a word from our sponsors. That Pi Kappa Sigma, the holiday season, is all about sisterhood, fun, and of course, safety. But sometimes even the most secure houses can have unwelcome guests.

Hello? Hello, is this Pi Kappa Sigma? I'm calling from inside your house. I've been watching you, and I have to say this is the best sorority house I've ever seen. Huge house, really classy. Nobody knows Christmas better than me. Believe me.

Who is this? Is this a prank haul or something?

Oh no, it's no prank, Brittany. It's President Trump. I'm inside your house right now. In fact, I'm the only one who really knows what this house needs. A huge Christmas party, the biggest party. Better than anything you've seen before, trust me. I have the best decorations, the best gifts. I know you should have seen the gifts I gave Santa Claus. Yeah, I give them to him. That's how it works. Like, from the White House?

No way, this can't be real.

When the calls are coming from inside your house, you need more than just a door lock. You need White House Home Security System designed to keep unwanted intruders like Trump out of your sorority house for good. This advanced system uses the latest in voice matching technology to stop not just burglars, but unwanted politicians from entering your home. The White House security system recognizes the unique voice of President Trump and instantly blocks all communication before things get too creepy.

Yay!

Once installed, you can rest easy knowing the only calls coming into your sorority house will be from your BFFs, not a former reality TV star with some crazy Christmas plans.

Wow, it's like we're living in the best house on campus now. No one's messing with us.

Yeah, and if anyone tries to pull a prank call again, we'll just call Trump and block him for good.

The White House Home Security System. Protect your sorority house from political intruders, unwanted guests, and creepy Christmas craziness. Order now, and we'll throw in a free Trump call blocker just in case the holidays bring out any more unwelcome surprises.

You can't block me, I'll be back. Bigger and better than ever next Christmas. You'll see.

Yeah, sure. Maybe next year. This year, you've got the White House Home Security System. No interruptions.

Can we put out our votes for what Christmas movie we would want to see made?

Ooh, see made?

Yeah, like if we could pitch a Christmas horror film, what would it be? Because I know what mine would be.

Go for it. What do you got?

Leprechaun and the North Pole. I would watch the shit out of that.

Oh, so this is we're talking the horror multiverse.

Yeah.

Oh, that would be so good. All right. Right. We have to call. Come back.

Please. I know. I know.

Hold on. Hold on. You mean to tell me that you guys wouldn't want to see Ash as Santa Claus?

Oh, yeah.

Oh.

No, I do.

I do, but that's also gonna give me conflicting feelings because like the thought of having sex with Santa Claus is like the thought of having sex with Batman. I can't do it. That's too holy. And I love Bruce Campbell so much. I love him so much. That's gonna be that's gonna give me like a weird boner, and I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it.

I think he's I mean, he played an incredible Elvis in Bubba Hotup. Yeah, he did. I think he would own Santa in some form of like the eat like Christmas Evil Dead. Like that would be the perfect name for it.

Oh, that's perfect. You know what? I just really would totally like give me a boner and I couldn't handle it if Patrick Wilson played Santa Claus, like Ed Warren and also the dad from Insidious.

Oh yeah.

I don't know why he's always been like my like actor crush. I don't know.

Amazing on Broadway in New York. You did. I did when he was in barefoot in the park. Oh my gosh. So nice. Like he was so nice. And my great aunt, we took her to see it, and she fell asleep halfway through the show. Because I think she had narcolepsy. So she was like sitting in the middle of like the orchestra, head back, like oh no. And then after the show, she's flirting with him because he's in his underwear on stage, and she's like, How do you stay in such good shape? Oh my god. He's like, Oh, what's your name? Oh, I have an Aunt Gloria too. Like he was so nice to her and so sweet. He's incredibly nice. Yeah. I love him. Yeah.

He really is. I mean, watchmen. Yeah. Like whatever he touches, he just feels like the nice dad role. You know what I mean?

The nice dad roll, except in did you guys see Little Children? Where uh where he fucked Kate ones lit on a washing machine, and I was like, oh my god. I'm not okay after that.

That's what we call range.

That was range. Yeah. Terrifying.

Wash a dryer.

Oh my god. Wash a dryer. I didn't know that's what I'm gonna be saying. Wash a dryer.

Just what like I'm telling you right now, uh, if you want to master the Boston accent, you just listen to Peter Griffin.

I really thought you were gonna say something else. I thought you were gonna say something else too.

Yeah, we would we both turn into the demon from Terrifier Three with the piece of glass. Oh my god. I don't know.

Yeah, you dirty bird.

Good thing we like Terrifier Three are not yet having a rating. I think that'd be good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I would love to see a Pixar version of Terrifier 3.

Stop it. Oh my god.

Like a kid's version.

Like like could I be the kids in the beginning?

Yes. Great. But what if he blows up all the adults instead, since it's a kid movie, and then the kids all like become evil terrifier puppets? That'd be fun. That's fun.

Like drunk oopaloompas with chainsaws.

Yeah. With their little makeup, that'd be fun. You might have tried a hundred platforms, each with hidden costs, plugins, multiple logins. But now there's Beamly. Drag and drop website, podcast hosting, online courses, memberships, digital products, and 0% platform fees. All your tools in one crypt. Uh, place. Head to beamly.com and raise your creator studio from the dead. In the best way. Is that the Halloween movie I want to see? Or the the Christmas movie I want to see? That's a good question. Might be. I'm trying to think. I want to see more like scary Hanukkah movies. Because it's scary enough being Jewish, but like, can we get more scary Hanukkah movies? Yeah.

I I you folks do know there's a movie named Hanukkah, correct? That is a horror movie.

I love that today.

It was Sid Haig's final film.

Oh, Sid Haig.

Yep. And my uh a couple of my friends were producers on it. It's worth a watch. I'll put it that way.

Oh, I would watch it just for him. Everybody loves Sid Haig. How can you not?

Sid was uh there's no words that would do him justice.

Yeah. Like even as Captain Spaulding, you're like, that's a good dude right there.

Yeah. I laughed my ass off at Captain Spaulding.

Yeah. Oh, I'm not sure.

The frustrations were tangible even at every scene that he was in. Yeah. And he'd get pissed off. Like, I hear you, Captain Spaulding. I would too. We could talk forever about holiday horror movies. I mean, you got Christmas Evil, which was an underrated and not quite talked about film where you actually had a Santa killer long before Silent Night, Deadly Night. Actually, the lead actor in that is has anybody ever heard the song Criminal by Fiona Apple?

Obsessed with that whole album, yeah.

Yes. Um, that's her dad, who played the lead actor in that.

That's right. That's pretty damn cool.

Yeah. And uh definitely another screwed up opening to that too, which I feel Silent Knight, Deadly Knight may have taken some liberties with what they saw in the beginning of that. So another deep cut. I think it's on Shutter, and maybe a couple other viewing avenues you could watch.

Other than Shutter. Shutter, I barely know her. There it is.

Someone had it, someone had to do it.

You'll be sleeping forever.

Do you know what? Do you know what Isaac said to me last night? He's like, Sometimes I feel like I'm dating a cartoon character. I was like, thank you. I love that for you. I know me too. That means I'm comfortable enough to be fucking weird. So yay. Yep. Yeah.

It's great when you get to be weird with somebody. Yeah.

Yes. Love you. That's half the time I look at my wife and I go, how the A? She has vision issues, clearly. D, uh stop it. Um be nice to my friend.

Be nice to our friend, Tony Tombstone.

I will too. But yes, I lucked out. And she doesn't really, she's not interested in horror. She's not. But she knows that it's a major part of me. And she's like, do your thing. You know, that's what grown adults do, folks. You don't have to like everything or the same thing. That's how Peter and Lois succeeded. But at the same time, there is so many. And even I today, who I get many props for some of the knowledge that I have, but clearly I got like 30 movies to watch. Yeah.

Same.

Exactly. But um, you know, I miss you guys. I wish I could give you guys a a holiday hug, maybe have some eggnog, watch some horror movies with you.

Have some latkas. Hanukkah's uh on Christmas Day this year, yeah. Oh it's gonna be fun.

Wow, it's like it's a double bang bang.

It's a double bang bang. Yep.

If there are any airlines that would like to sponsor us with a ticket, let us know.

Delta, I love your cookies. Sponsor us, please. Right?

Uh I I'm a jet blue guy, but uh hey Delta, hook us up. I'll take them.

Or jet blue. I'm not super loyal. I'll switch.

Which one of you can take us to the North Pole? And we could also bring Hanukkah Harry with us.

Yeah. Yeah. Hanukkah Harry meets Art the Clown. That's the holiday movie we want.

There you go.

Why are you so quiet? What's wrong with you? I don't know.

But in my head, I can see David Howard Thornton's reaction of just like, oh, would you shut up?

Yeah, definitely. He's just there for the latkas. That's it. Lackas transcend everything. Everybody loves them.

And and all of our friends who are celebrating in a pagan way like bringing in a tree into your home. Or even if you're lighting the menorah. Or if you're a friend who celebrate Kwanzaa or whatever, even if you don't celebrate shit, we like.

Or if you're celebrating Halloween twice like I do, that's awesome too.

Mm-hmm. If you want to just straight shoot through the New Year's, do you just be happy with you? Be around people that make you better and feel better. And make sure your weirdness.

Yes.

Be weird together.

That's what horror nerds is all about. We accept you and we love you no matter what you celebrate.

Exactly.

As long as you love horror, you can stay.

Unless you celebrate rom-coms, then I don't have one and have anything to do with you. No, I'm kidding. That's fine too, I guess.

You're not a love actually fan. Oh. That's a Christmas movie.

I would only be love actually fan because Andrew Lincoln is in it from Walking Dead, and I love him, and so I'll I'll allow that movie to and Emma Thompson, who I love too, so I'll let it I'll let it slide.

There are some icons in that.

Yeah, it's a it's a great movie. It's a it's a cute movie.

Well, at the same time, uh I would like to wish everybody listening to this have an awesome upcoming year. Yeah. Just go see a movie. Go go actually what I want you to do is get some more laughs in your life.

Yeah.

Start following Horror Nerd and Voiceover Superhero and go laugh at the stuff that Sam and Bonnie are making and the privilege I have of creating with them. Because we got some fun skits coming your way this year. We're celebrity guests, all of it. And I I the my favorite thing about 2024 was starting this endeavor with both of you.

So this is the how I keep saying Halloween. This is the Christmas movie I want to see. Yeah. Let's make it David Collins.

The cover of that will be like Abbey Road and the Beatles.

Oh with his bag. Oh, that's so great. Oh my god, can we like make that anyway?
