Podcast Appearance: 13 PODS of Horror - Black Christmas (all of them)

If you know me at all you know that Black Christmas 1974 is my favourite horror movie, my favourite Christmas movie and my favourite Canadian movie. So when my friend Troy Bowman asked if I wanted to join him for a conversation about the movie, and the two remakes, I jumped at the chance.

Greetings and welcome to the second episode of 13 PODS Of Horror where this month we will be exploring the creation known as Black Christmas from 1974 and a bunch of it's prodigy, Black X-Mas from 2006 and Black Christmas from 2019

Also joining us as a guest host, Candice Lepage spends some time with us as we discuss all 3 versions.

Be forewarned that there are SPOILERS ahead!

We Only Have Now

December took us by surprise. It snuck up so fast both Candice and Steph feel like they missed November. But with the long nights and darker days, everything is getting a bit more gothic and introspective.
