As the year draws to a close and night seems to surround us, it’s often a good time to reflect. To look inside yourself and see how you’re doing. To take a deep dive into your emotions. This month we examine two movies that really sum up how people feel around the holiday season:

Smile

The Sadness

First we take a hit of that jump-scare adrenaline and hallucinatory uncertainty with Smile, before exploring the absolute depths of human depravity with The Sadness.

Along the way we’ll talk about how not to hold an intervention, older folks and creepy dudes bothering you when you’re just trying to read a book, the value of human live vs. the value of animal life in horror, and we’ll laugh at Glenn as his inability to pronounce people’s names hits an all time low. We also take a moment show a little love to the great Tony Todd.

You’ll laugh! You’ll cry! You’ll scream! You’ll… stream? It’s all part of the roller-coaster of emotions that is this month’s episode of Streaming Screams!
