We are kicking off a whole new series on plant horror entitled BOTANICAL TERROR! On this, Part I - Sinister Sprouts, we begin by discussing the very beginnings of plant horror.

Episode 41: Bad Christmas
On this episode we embarked on an intriguing exploration of a specific niche within cinema: bad Christmas movies. Our focus centered on two distinct categories within this theme. First, we examined a few b-movies (Elves and Santa Claws) notorious for their subpar production - the kind that are so poorly made, they loop around to being entertaining in their own right. Think questionable acting, laughable special effects, and plots so absurd they become fascinating. Second, we shifted gears to Christmas movies where the joy of the holiday is drastically undermined for the characters, leading to gruesome outcomes. Here, the traditional warmth and cheer of the season are upended, resulting in narratives where Christmas, instead of being a time of celebration, becomes a backdrop for chaos, carnage, and nightmares. Films discussed include À l'intérieur aka Inside, I Trapped The Devil, and Hosts. Through this dual lens, we attempted to uncover the peculiar charm and lessons hidden in these cinematic misadventures and misfortunes. Lastly, we brought recent releases such as Christmas Bloody Christmas, It’s A Wonderful Knife, and There’s Something in the Barn.
