Episode 153--Ahh! Less Popular Holidays

December 11, 2024

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we keep the holiday spirit flowing from Thanksgiving to Christmas and cover films based on less popular holidays. We discuss the phenomenon of horror films being based around holidays before getting into our two (slasher) films! Why are holiday-based films so popular, and why are those based on Christmas and Thanksgiving more common? How do slasher films both follow a formula, and subvert our expectations? Do we use the term "incongruous" correctly? How tasty are boiled hot dogs? Listen and find out!

Please connect with us on Instagram: @ahhrealfilms and now Bluesky: @ahhrealfilms.bsky.social. You can drop us a line to let us know how we're doing, or to suggest a future topic or film to discuss: ahhrealfilms@gmail.com. We’d love any recommendations for this series or a future listener submitted episode! And please remember to rate, review, and subscribe on your favorite podcast app!

You can also find us both on Letterboxd! Follow us on our horror journey and occasional forays into romcoms (because let's be real).
