Hello old friends! Welcome back to Shudder Bugs! Today is just a little diddy for y’all, something new to try out. This episode is a short story, part of a new series we’d like to start doing. Drop us a line if you have any spooky or spoopy stories you’d like to hear! After all, ’tis the season

Christmas Presence (2018)

Tonight’s the last night of the year, so we’re giving you more Christmas cheer…s because we’re obviously already drunk. Reading is hard, writing is harder, here’s the breakdown you hunks:

So here’s the to do, to ensure that you too, are getting on our level:

See you in January! (Rhyming is not our strong suit…)

Christmas Evil (1980)

Prepare your back doors because Santa is coming down your chimney tonight! Just kidding. He’s already in your bed tucking you in like nighty night and you all know what that means. Its Santa Daddy Big Al taking care of all your Christmas needs. In this episode he flies us off on a wild eggnog filled adventure with his second favourite Christmas movie of all time. So fill up your mug with hot cocoa, creme de menthe, and vodka, because its about to get seasonal.

All the Creatures Were Stirring (2018)

If you like Christmas classics such as The Grinch, Charlie Brown, and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation then be prepared to add another to your beloved list after watching this masterpiece. We creep on an office party, shop til we drop, get some sweet sweet revenge, move through a cocaine fever dream, and rage with space creatures. What more could you possibly want?!?!?!?!

So take a shot every time we laugh and you’ll be flying like Santa’s sleigh right along with us! Or you might be dead…

Frozen (2010)

TUCK AND ROLL! No, but seriously, tuck and roll if you’re going to jump from a high point. Oh, and if you’re in the wilderness are there are wild wolves (that I can only assume must be rabid because of their totally unnatural behaviour), make a lot of noise. They should just leave you alone. Unless you’re unlucky enough to be in the movie Frozen (no, not that Frozen).

Welcome to our podcasty winter wonderland! Grab some rum and eggnog, a hot toddy, an Irish coffee, or maybe a North End shot, or even all of the above, and dive on into this snow pile with us.

The Amityville Murders (2018)

The Amityville murders are a mystery that may never be solved, but this 2018 film tries to portray what that night may have looked like. Unfortunately, you’ll need to be drunker than we got to enjoy it! You’re better off watching the 2005 Amityville Horror because at least you get to enjoy a topless Ryan Reynolds.

Grab a drink (you’re gonna need it) and follow us on this incredibly lacklustre journey!

Practical Magic (1998)

All I’ve ever wanted was someone to wake me up with midnight margaritas! That and to have magical powers and a baller house. Well, we can’t all have it all, but we can watch movies and pretend! Not a typical horror movie, but definitely one of your gals’ favourites. Grab some vodka and follow us down into this classic ’90s witchy film!

House of 1000 Corpses (2003)

Welcome to the final day of Halloween ‘19! This episode features some background guests and your totally usual hosts just with colds… that’s why we sound so different! We’re hitting you with a classic horror today to celebrate the final Halloween of the two-thousand teens. Drink up! This one is a wild ride.

Urban Legend (1998)

Sometimes, in the midst of recording a Halloween extravaganza, your guest doesn’t make it through the movie. Ever the champ, though, our good friend and special guest this week rallied through to the bitter end! If you’ve ever wondered how related the size of your hair is to how crazy you are, this movie might have the answer. Grab some vodka (maybe not too much of it this time) and come on down with us!

All Hallows’ Eve (2013)

Have you ever stumbled upon an ancient abandoned pool that has a bit of swamp water remaining at the bottom?  Have you ever inspected that further and found something beneath the gross and disgusting murky mess? Have you gotten close enough to the putrid liquid to see the nasty outline of heavily used clown panties? If yes, then this is the movie for you. If not, don’t bother watching it. But, if you insist, grab a drink and dive on in to #3 in the HALLOWEEN 2019 COUNTDOWN!
