Merry Christmas, Fearless Fans!! If you are British and hate Santa Claus, then we have the movie for you! This year, we are celebrating with the 1980's slasher, Don't Open til Christmas!

Pete takes us through this film about a serial killer targeting Santa Claus performers who are being naughty, taking them out in increasingly brutal ways. Two detectives are on the case, harassing witnesses and making inappropriate advances at every turn. But also, the daughter of one of the victims is trying to solve the mystery on her own. Also also, an exotic dancer who is a target of the killer has a piece of the narrative. This movie has too many main characters, but no main characters at the same time.

Join us as we discuss popular London tourist traps, British pop stars turned Bond Girls, and melee vs. ranged weapons in a slasher situation.

So roast some chestnuts on an open fire, put out some milk and cookies, and as always: don't get too scared!

Happy Thanksgiving, Fearless Fans! The main course this year is a cheap slasher with at least three different names and just as many versions. We present 1987's Blood Rage (aka Nightmare at Shadow Woods, aka Complex, aka Slasher)!!

Pete takes us through this wild tale of an evil twin brother that frames his sibling for murder, then years later goes on an insane murder spree when his brother escapes to confront him on Thanksgiving night. All the while their troubled mother slides further and further into madness.

The version we watched was the edited-for-TV cut, which is so dismantled it can barely be considered an actual narrative. Which just adds to the fun!

Join us as we discuss inappropriate times for sex, polyamorous friend groups, and what is or isn't cranberry sauce.

And as always: don't get too scared!

Judd Nelson is back and he is still a monster in this week's entry, a Lifetime movie called The Girl in the Basement!

Sarah takes us through this domestic horror film that is sickeningly based on true events. A family man holds his daughter captive in his secret basement dungeon for many years and father's multiple children with her. This entire movie is basically a two hour trigger warning.

Join us as we discuss too many horrible things that we don't even want to joke about. And as always: don't get too scared!

It's the final week in October and we ran out of Jaws sequels. So you get the next best thing - the greatest Jaws ripoff of all time, Orca!!

This week's movie follows a Richard Harris as a horrible ship captain that murders an Orca, which then spurs its grieving mate to declare war on him and the entire fishing community where he resides. That's not hyperbole, the sea animal goes full John Rambo and uses guerilla tactics to methodically destroy the property and economy of an entire community (yes it even manages to hit targets that are on land).

Join us as we discuss sea-based scarecrows, the mating habits of killer whales, and just how high an Orca can jump out of the water.

So set sail with us for the grand finale of our October celebration, and remember - don't get too scared!

Long before Halloween made it the hottest trend and Scream was spoofing the idea, Jaws was the master of the requel.

This week, Pete takes us through Jaws: The Revenge, a film that completely ignores the events of the third entry and bills itself as the "actual" end of the trilogy.

Lorrain Gary returns from retirement to portray Ellen Brody, widow and grieving mother after the death of her youngest son. Her oldest, Michael, takes her away to the Bahamas where he works as a marine biologist and lives with his family. However, a vengeful shark follows them across the Atlantic Ocean and continues hunting the family in this ultimately silly conclusion to the Jaws franchise.

Join us as we discuss roaring sharks, high-explosive bug zappers, and the house that Michael Caine built with the money from this film.

Get ready for a tropical escape filled with blood and terror, but remember: don't get too scared!
