Craving bloody stockings and twisted tinsel? Then dive into this week’s Scary Spirits Podcast episode as our hosts dissect the 1984 cult classic “Don’t Open till Christmas”!

Hold onto your jingle bells, because a maniac stalks London’s streets, slaying Santas with festive fury. Can Scotland Yard stop the carnage before Christmas cheer turns into a deadly nightmare? Join the discussion as our hosts sip a “Bad Santa Cocktail” and unpack the film’s gory goodies, from its killer cast (including the stunning Caroline Munro!) to its twisted holiday horror.

Prepare for a Yuletide bloodbath with Karen and Greg! Hit play, grab your spiked eggnog, and let the holiday horror begin!

A Brief Synopsis: A Scotland Yard inspector hunts a murderer who hunts down men dressed as Santa and kills them in different violent fashions. Only a suspicious reporter seems to offer the inspector any promising leads.

Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include:

• We learn a little bit about the historic Scotland Yard.
  
• How many murders must be committed before a killer is officially considered a “serial killer”?
  
• Karen once again gives us some information about the German Shepherd dog breed.
  
• Greg is what we call an “eternal optimist”.
  

Our rating of the film:

This movie was soooo bad that it took us 5 cocktails to get through it.
