Is Batman Returns secretly one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time? This week on Slashers Podcast, the crew dives deep into Tim Burton’s dark, snowy Gotham to break down why Batman Returns deserves a place alongside the holiday horror classics. From Michelle Pfeiffer’s iconic Catwoman to Danny DeVito’s grotesque and tragic Penguin, we explore the gothic atmosphere, twisted romance, social commentary, and holiday aesthetics that make this superhero sequel a true wintertime staple.
BUT FIRST! We’re joined by a very special guest — Erick Lorinc, the creator of the holiday horror spooktacular The Last Thanksgiving! Erick sits down with us to talk about the inspiration behind the film, blending seasonal cheer with brutal horror, the indie filmmaking process, audience reactions, and what it takes to craft a new holiday horror film.
Plus, we dig into his creative journey, future projects, and what’s next for his blood-soaked brand of seasonal scares.
It’s superhero noir, festive freaks, and holiday horror all in one jam-packed episode you won’t want to miss!
