Hi gang, you may have noticed that my posting her on the blog fell off a cliff partway through the year. There were a lot of reasons for that, but one of them was that I decided to regroup and focus an Instagram account on my love of horror. It’s called Simply Mr. Dastardly — a nod to the very weird podcast I did some time back — and I’m having a great time posting about movies, comics, books, collectibles and other bits of horror goodness I come across.

But, I feel like I have more to say. Instagram is great because it’s quick and I can stretch a few different creative muscles, but I still like digging into a little more detail, so now we have The Dastardly Dispatch podcast. I got delayed and waylaid during Thanksgiving which meant that I watched a bunch of holiday-themed horror movies and didn’t have anywhere to post about them. So, let’s start there.

In this episode I talked about Blood Rage, which I love, but was not able to watch again this year. I did enjoy Into The Dark: Pilgrim, The Last Thanksgiving, Home Sweet Home, Alien Abduction: Incident In Lake County, Kristy, Black Friday (2021) and The Oath (2018) though Thankskilling and Ghost Note, were not my bag.

If you’re looking for links, here are the ones for Home Sweet Home and Alien Abduction. For further reading, I mentioned Dance Of The Dead which I’ve written about here. Oh and if you haven’t heard of Body By Jake or just want a reminder of what that time was like, here’s a clip:

With December kicking off, I have a lot of fun plans including a custom made Holiday Horror Advent Calendar that will guide my daily viewing this season! Keep an eye on the IG for those reveals, but next week I’ll be back with a rundown of those films and a few other topics! Have a great one and thanks for listening!
