    episode 18: Christmas With the Devil! The Exorcist (1973) and The Omen (1976)

    We nearly called this episode 'The Xmasist' but thought better of it. For our last show of 2025, we welcome special guest, author Matt Rogerson to help us navigate the vagaries of The Vactican's response to the deluge of Pazuzu-infused films from the 70s and beyond and we round out our coverage of the unofficial 'Unholy Child' trilogy we started with Rosemary's Baby a little while ago. We also talk our favourite Christmas horror films, Rob Reiner, What Have You Watched, take some listener comments and revisit regular feature, How Many Cats are In it? Wishing you all the very best for the festive season and we'll be back in a couple of weeks to kick off 2026 with some great new episodes. Merry Xmas(ist)!!!
