The holidays are just around the corner! Well, technically the holidays are ALWAYS just around the corner. The only thing more bleak than the constant crush of forced holiday frivolity? I’m Dreaming of a White Doomsday.
It's The Scariest Things TENTH show! So hard to believe we've made it this far. This episode our focus is on horror movies involving kids. And no, we're not talking about Horror Movies FOR Kids... that may need to be a future Podcast. Fear of kids. Fear for kids. Fear of parenting. Face it, there are few things in this world as scary as kids! Particularly if they have wet hair, and are really really pale. AIIIEEEEE! Children! When the danger comes from the smallest and most innocent of us, it packs that much more shock value. And, nothing taps into your alligator brain like the fear of losing a child. Hooray Horror!
