Welcome back to the show, I hope 2024 is treating you well so far! Before jumping into this new year, I’m finishing up the previous. That includes wrapping up the Dastardly Holiday Horror Advent Calendar which I posted about daily on my horror Instagram account SimplyMrDastardly, and running down my favorite book, comic and movie horror experiences of the year.

To finish up the Advent Calendar, I decided to do one of those tier lists the kids seem to dig. Here are the results! After talking a bout the first half in Episodes 2 and 3, I added the following to the mix: Day Of The Beast, Silent Night (2021), A Christmas Horror Story, A Christmas Carol (1938), Red Snow, Gremlins, The Dorm That Dripped Blood, Deadly Games, Await Further Instructions, All The Creatures Were Stirring, Retaliators, Silent Night Deadly Night 4, I Trapped The Devil, Anna And The Apocalypse, Hosts and Dead End.

If you’re interested in the Valancourt book series’ I mentioned, you can check out the Paperbacks From Hell and Monster, She Wrote sections. I totally forgot that I already wrote about How To Sell A Haunted House, but I did. I also did an episode of The High Five not long ago about the rest of Hendrix’s books which might make for a fun listen. I also delved deeper into the Escape Room movies, the first season of Yellowjackets, Grizzly and all the Scream movies in a pair of posts.
