We are opening the festive lids on this, our first-ever holiday episode! We take the time to ask the important questions like, how many family members are an acceptable number to sacrifice to the spirit of Christmas justice? As well as, why the hell do we give Speilberg and Dante a pass on the highly problematic script that is Gremlins? But most importantly, we talk about the things that all us horror lovers need to get through the dark months of winter; food, gore, and terrifying puppets.
