It’s the holiday season! For a moment, let’s pretend it’s not a COVID holiday season.
You’re sitting down at the table with your family to enjoy a nice bit of turkey dinner complete with all the sides. Everyone is at the table. For some of these people, it may be the only time of the year you get to see them. It’s warm and bright inside to parallel the cold and darkness outside. Your belly is about to be full of hot, warm food and your soul is full of family goodness…
…until someone comes along and murders you and you’re entire family. This is a horror podcast. Did you think this was going to go well? For November 2020, we have a table spread of family get togethers in horror films.
First up…
From 2011/13, You’re Next is a home invasion crossed with a slasher. The body count is high, the twist and turns are higher as the Davison family gathers on the 35th anniversary of the parents of the family. A group of former military assailants armed with crossbows are not happy about this and murder ensues.
The second film of our double feature is a little known slasher from 1981…
Home Sweet Home is the rare horror film that actually takes place on Thanksgiving. As was the case in the early 80s, an escaped mental patient ruins the holiday, basically by trying to kill everyone.
Come sit with us at our table and let’s feast on this buffet of horror.
