Episode 29 - Christmas Is Evil

Tis the season to be jolly! Unless you're watching horror films that are holiday based. Then it's the season to be sardonic. Hmmmm, Sardonicus? No, that's another podcast!

This week I watched "Black Christmas" (1974) and "Santa's Slay" (2005). I also read the comic "Ash's Christmas Horror" by Dynamite! Entertainment.

Episode 28 - The 28 Days Later franchise

I watched the movies "28 Days Later" and "28 Weeks Later", then read the trade paperback "28 Days Later: The Aftermath" and the first three issues of the Boom! comic "28 Days Later". Then I put all of those elements into a chronologically correct narrative.
