Episode 185: Black Christmas (1974) (with Ashley McGlothren of Southern Haunts)
Ho, ho, fuck: it’s our Christmas episode of 2024, and with how dour things seemed to be this year, we could think of no better movie to discuss this week than the OG Black Christmas from Bob Clark. This small hazy and eerie horror flick bridged the gap from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho to John Carpenter’s Halloween that solidified the slasher genre for decades to come – and it’s still just as good 50 years later. So put on your comfiest sweater and grab your toilet wine cause we’re discussing our favorite Christmas songs, the oddity that is Christmas caroling, and the continuing adventures of Peppermint and Jingle Jangle with returning guest Ashley McGlothren. Plus, Dustin’s truly insane Christmas parade story. Happy holidays, you creeps!

Black Christmas (1974) stars Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder, and John Saxon. Directed by Bob Clark.
