What’s up, dudes? It's a lost episode! It was originally recorded in 2024, but delayed due to lost and inferior audio. Yes, Ron and Jay from the Film Strip podcast are with me to dig into the low budget 1984 Santa slasher "Don't Open Till Christmas!"
It's Christmas in London, and Scotland Yard is after a mysterious slayer of Santas. Somebody's killing people dressed like Santa Claus, and when Kate Brioski's father is murdered she heads to the police. Subsequently, Chief Inspector Harris and Detective Sergeant Powell investigate everyone from Kate's boyfriend to the enigmatic Giles.
Meanwhile, Santas are burned roasting chestnuts, stabbed in the London Dungeon, and castrated. As the bodies pile up, it's revealed that Giles is not actually a reporter, but the traumatized brother of Harris. As a child, he witnessed the infidelity of his Father Christmas-clad father and the death of his mother. Now hating Christmas, he sought revenge. Spoilers: he eventually dies.
Santa perverts? Check. ridiculous medieval weapon kills? Got 'em. Eyes that seem to smile behind a mask? Only from the killer! So grab your knife, leave your Santa suit behind, and defend yourself from this episode on "Don't Open Till Christmas!"
