It's time for a new mini-series of the month of July! We want to celebrate the season, but with it so far away, what else could we do? It's time for an X-Mas in July celebration, with more fun on the way. We're kicking things off, with Michael Dougherty's "Krampus" from 2015.  

In the weeks ahead, rewatch "Black Christmas" (1974) and Gremlins (1984) to get ahead! 

With an all-star cast signed up for scares, the horror comedy excels. Yet we have questions? Could they have gone to David Koecher's family in Florida? Why is the Jack-in-the-box so scary? Does Michael Dougherty hate DHL? We ponder these questions and more in our first X-Mas in July episode.
