Happy Horror Holidays, y'all! We talk about the genuinely terrifying slasher classic Black Christmas! We also talk about how I've never seen an episode of Columbo, the distinction between spree killers and serial killers, and non-Christmas Holiday Horror. Enjoy!

We're joined by a special guest, indie game developer Drew Katsikas (find him on twitter at @vmpr_cmptr_ppl), to talk about the wide world of horror video games! In particular we focus on two very creepy indie games, Faith and Paratopic. Other topics include kinesthetics, what games scared us the most, and if Dan were Mario. Humungus Vibe.
