It’s that time of year when holiday cheer mixes perfectly with a little seasonal terror, and this week Bruce and Tracy are breaking down two Christmas-themed horror favorites. We kick things off with A Christmas Horror Story (2015), a wild mix of ghosts, folklore, and festive chaos woven together in one long, spooky night. Then we jump back to the ’80s to revisit Gremlins, the iconic creature-feature that blends comedy, mayhem, and surprising moments of darkness.

Join us as we chat about what makes these movies memorable, how they capture the strange magic of Christmas horror, and why they continue to be go-to watches for fans of holiday frights.

Grab a warm drink, curl up by the tree, and enjoy this cozy, creepy double feature with us!

On this week’s episode, Bruce and Tracy dive into two generations of horror storytelling. We start with Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein (2025), now streaming on Netflix, and explore its emotional heart, striking visuals, and powerhouse performances. From Jacob Elordi’s unforgettable take on the Creature to Oscar Isaac’s intense portrayal of Victor Frankenstein, we unpack why this version feels more like a dramatic, gothic reimagining than a traditional horror film, and why it still leaves such a deep impression.

Then we jump back 55 years to revisit Crowhaven Farm (1970), a landmark in made-for-TV horror. Tracy shares her first-ever viewing experience, while Bruce reflects on how this atmospheric witchcraft tale shaped his early love of the genre. We talk about its eerie slow-burn tension, memorable performances, and the twists that keep it chilling decades later.

Whether you’re here for modern monster mythology or classic supernatural suspense, this episode blends fresh perspectives with nostalgic horror history.
