Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we keep the holiday spirit flowing from Thanksgiving to Christmas and cover films based on less popular holidays. We discuss the phenomenon of horror films being based around holidays before getting into our two (slasher) films! Why are holiday-based films so popular, and why are those based on Christmas and Thanksgiving more common? How do slasher films both follow a formula, and subvert our expectations? Do we use the term "incongruous" correctly? How tasty are boiled hot dogs? Listen and find out!
