Merry Christmas, and happy holidays to everyone.

Today on the podcast, the 70s horror curiosity, Silent Night, Bloody Night.

The mansion. The madness. The Maniac. No Escape.

A lawyer and his paramour are tending to an estate, converting a sprawling mansion into equity.

The scion of the Butler family, Jeffrey, meanwhile, leaves California for New England to help settle the family matter as well.

He soon finds that his grandfather’s home, is cursed. And that the townsfolk are less than welcoming, claiming bad mojo about the dwelling that’s persisted for decades.

Genre heads will enjoy this, as we’ve got legendary John Carradine as a newspaper magnate and Mary Woronov as the mayor’s daughter.

On this episode of the podcast, Cannon time!

Enter the Ninja is a silly 80s exploitation/martial arts filmed in, where else? The Philippines! Because of course it is. That was a very cheap place to film back in the day, and is the geographical backdrop for many a cult classic.

And there’s a fun genre cast including Django’s Franco Nero, but also the Italian horror staple, Christopher George.

When a couple of plantation landowners are harassed by a wealthy developer, the male half enlists an old war buddy to help – a man trained in the deadly arts of the ninja!

Soon, the white ninja is beating the holy tar out of every village barfly, and even kicking the crap out of a man with a hook for a hand, a very Bond-esque villain.

Tune in!

This week on the podcast, peace, love and mayhem. The Last House on the Left (1972) is the directorial debut of the man, the myth, the legend, Wes Craven.

Two women on their way to a concert, are kidnapped by a menacing foursome of escaped cons and taken to the woods, somewhere in Connecticut.

This one is unflinching and unrelenting. And this is definitely not Christmas fare.
