Do you believe in Black Christmas miracles? We sure do!! This episode was a twisted, mangled mess akin to a dirty phone call involving Billy and Agnes - but the Grinch who encoded our audio incorrectly grew an enlarged heart (he should get that checked out), and our blood-drenched holidays were saved! With no further ado, we present our in-depth conversation about the seminal photo-slasher classic, BLACK CHRISTMAS, for its 50th anniversary with our guest, author, and video essayist, Scout Tafoya!! What else does Santa have in his magic bag? Synthesizer psychos, Bravo network horror activators, Steve Martin: Slasher Fan, and we dig into why a half-century-old film can still be so ahead of its time!! All this, plus which character in the film is a Drinkenstein, Patrick defends Porky’s 2 for some reason, Gena defines the “It’s Miller Time” ending, and we give you the gift of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!
