This episode things are getting frightfully festive as we dust the dried blood off last year’s Santa suit, polish our kitchen knives and saddle up for an evening of yuletide retribution. Top of our wishlist this year is Lewis Jackson’s utterly insane addition to the holiday horror subgenre: Christmas Evil (AKA You Better Watch Out).

Festive Robin Hood of Manhattan or crazed, Santa-obsessed psychopath? We put Brandon Maggart’s fantastic performance under close scrutiny and raise a glass (or two) to this deliciously trashy and wacky 42nd Street classic.

To that end, this episode we’re drinking Brew Dog’s Santa Paws, a Sierra Nevada porter, Bateman’s Rosey Nosey, Black Sheep’s Blitzen ale, Adnam’s Winter Stout and the Wychwood Brewery’s Bah Humbug.

Bah Humbug indeed! Merry Christmas everyone!

Episode 23 - Suspiria

Won't Stay Dead is a podcast dedicated to the freaky and gloriously trashy world of horror, cult and exploitation cinema. Join the three of us as we wax lyrical, dissect and celebrate some of our favourite examples of subversive filmmaking.

To add a little inebriation to the proceedings, each episode we will be drinking booze that is in some way linked (albeit tenuously) to our main feature. So, we invite you to crack open a cold one, put your feet up and delve with us into the murky depths of movies that just won't stay dead...
