Merry Christmas, horror fans, and welcome to HO, HO, HORROR MOVIE PODCAST! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Episode 207 is our eighth annual CHRISTMAS HORROR extravaganza! This year Dr. Shock, The Wolfman, and Gillman Joel bring you a Feature Review of this year’s The Lodge (2020). Other than that, the holiday offerings were a bit slim-pickings this year, so we went back to 1989 for a review of possibly the craziest yuletide horror flick of them all: Elves (1989). We’ve also got mini-reviews of Santa Claus vs The Devil (1959), Whoever Slew Auntie Roo (1971), Home For the Holidays (1972), Night Train Murders (1975), Lucky Stiff (1988), While She Was Out (2008), A Cadaver Christmas (2011), The Elf (2017), and Pooka! (2019) … so there’s plenty of crappy Christmasy content to fill your stockings. And here’s a first: Wolfman recommends piracy! Coming up next time: A Frankensteinian episode for HMP Ep 208, leading up to HMP Ep 209 where we’re bringing you Horror Movie Podcast’s Top 10 Horror Movies of 2020 as well as the Top 10 horror movies of the HMP community!
