Think spending the holidays with your family is stressful?

Meet the Morgan family.

Their family get-togethers are killer.

All aboard Polyester Airlines flight to the night of November 27, 1972: the night the Christmas proto-slasher HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS premiered on ABC.

You can expect:

-A truly knockout cast of heavy-hitting women.

-Pulpy dialogue.

-Fraught melodrama.

-Perfectly timed thunderclaps.

-Pitchfork murders

-Worst. Christmas. EVER!

Your copilot on this very wet journey into Christmas carnage is author DANIEL W. KELLY from the BOYS BEARS & SCARES blog and the Comfort Cove horror-erotica series ("No Place for Little Ones", "Horny Devils", "Wet Screams").

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS was directed by JOHN LLEWLYN MOXEY, written by JOSEPH STEFANO and stars SALLY FIELD, JULIE HARRIS, JESSICA WALTER, ELEANOR PARKER, JILL HAWORTH and WALTER BRENNAN.

The movie is currently available on YouTube for free.

Dive into the archives with ScreamQueenz Classics, curated by Patrick K. Walsh. This podcast serves as the central hub for a fascinating collection of shows, all exploring horror through a distinctly queer lens. Think of it as your weekly appointment with the strange and the spooky from decades past. You'll find yourself immersed in retrospectives like DAMN YOU UNCLE LEWIS, which meticulously unpacks the cult TV series *Friday the 13th: The Series*. Another show in the rotation, IT CAME FROM THE 70s, resurrects the unique charm and terror of made-for-television horror movies from the disco decade. For long-time fans and newcomers alike, SCREAMQUEENZ RESURRECTION offers a treasure trove of vintage conversations from the network's first groundbreaking decade. This ever-growing library, known as the ScreamQueenz Podiverse, is proudly noted as the first of its kind. New installments from these various series drop every Friday, rotating to keep the content fresh. With plans to expand the roster with more shows in 2026, this podcast is a living, breathing archive for anyone passionate about the intersections of television, film history, and queer perspectives on classic horror. It's less about simple reviews and more about deep, affectionate excavation.
