What’s up, dudes? It’s the most low budget Christmas slasher  ever, and I’ve got Jeff and Jay from Horror for the Holidays with me to talk about it! Yes, we’re diving into 1983’s “Blood Beat!” 

Cathy sees visions. She paints what sees in a cabin in rural Wisconsin with her boyfriend Gary. When her son Ted brings his new girlfriend Sarah home for Christmas, strange things begin to happen. Of course, Cathy tells her son she’s seen Sarah before in her psychic visions.

Meanwhile, a glowing blue samurai ghost begins attacking and killing people. The victims include the neighbors, Uncle Pete, and a couple of hunters camping in the woods. It turns out that Sarah is the reincarnation of Cathy’s sister and an old samurai warrior… or something like that. As Sarah becomes the ghost, Ted and his sister Dolly develop their own latent psychic powers to battle the blade-wielding specter!

Was there a script? Kinda. Were there actors? Not really. Were there drugs? Definitely! So don your samurai armor, play monopoly with your sibling, and listen to this episode on “Blood Beat!”
