Merry Christmas, Midnight Viewers!

Take a tour of Christmas Past as we gather together holiday themed episodes from the various anthologies series we've covered so far. Journey back with us as we look at episodes from Tales from the Crypt, Twilight Zone 85, Night Gallery and the Tales from the Crypt feature film.

We hope your New Year will better than the last.

In this Christmas-themed episode of Father Malone's Weekly Roundup, Father Malone and co-host Ripley Jean navigate holiday entertainment, starting with a review of 'Emmett Otter's Jug-Band Christmas,' a 1978 Jim Henson special featuring a mother and son otter duo trying to make ends meet during the Great Depression. The episode continues with a scathing critique of the Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis film, 'Christmas with the Kranks,' labeling it the worst film ever made. Finally, they delve into the horror genre with a recommendation of 'Seasons of Belief,' an episode from the 'Tales from the Dark Side' TV series, perfect for a less saccharine holiday viewing experience.
