Tune in as we reflect on the most notable horror releases of 2025 (the hits and the misses), revisit some of our favorite interviews from the year, and talk about how Happy Horror Time grew and evolved throughout the year. Plus, a sneak peek at the horror films we’re looking forward to most in 2026!

    DEC 22

    Ep 287: O Come, All Ye Frightful

    It’s been 41 years since the original “Silent Night, Deadly Night” was released, so a remake was pretty much inevitable. But this installment takes quite a different approach to Santa’s slay ride. Tune in to hear us break down the new “Silent Night, Deadly Night” — from the decision to put a voice in Billy’s head, to giving him a girlfriend (and all the other subplots), and of course, whether it stacks up to the original.

    Ep 286: Interview w/Robert Brian Wilson from “Silent Night, Deadly Night” (1984)

    As Billy in the original “Silent Night, Deadly Night,” Robert Brian Wilson dons the Santa suit, chases the naughty with an axe, and makes good on his promise to “punish” them. Tune in to hear all about playing the OG Killer Santa in this 1984 horror classic, how he felt about all the controversy back then (and when his feelings changed), and the story behind why he isn’t in the remake that just hit theaters.

    Ep 285: Interview w/Kari Keegan from “Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday”

Tune in to hear all about making “Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday,” what it was like filming that big climactic finale with Kane Hodder, and she sets the record straight on her supposed feud with Director Adam Marcus.

    Ep 283: Keeper? I Hardly Know Her!

    Osgood Perkins is back with a new folk horror tale that takes a dark look at relationships, sacrifice, and drooling creatures.

    NOV 17

    Ep 282: Frankensweetie (w/Philip Faiss, host of Netflix & Phil)

    It’s a tale as old as time… well, as old as 1818 at least, since that’s when Mary Shelley’s novel was first published. And after multiple film adaptations, Guillermo del Toro is now putting his stamp on this classic monster story. Tune in as we’re joined by Philip Faiss, host of Netflix & Phil, to break down Netflix’s “Frankenstein” — from the many different layers behind this narrative, to the ways del Toro changed the source material, and of course, how Jacob Elordi can be sexy even as The Creature.
