Chris & Kelsey spend their Christmas in a series of spooky vignettes. \n\nThe Classic Film:\xa0Tales from the Crypt (1972)\n"Five strangers get lost in a crypt and, after meeting the mysterious Crypt Keeper, receive visions of how they will die\u201d (IMDb.com). A charming collection of EC Comics-style stories (including one about an escaped, psychopathic Santa), Tales from the Crypt is pretty much exactly what you'd expect.\n\nThe Modern Film:\xa0All the Creatures Were Stirring (2018)\n"When an awkward date on Christmas Eve leads a couple into a strange theater, they're treated to a bizarre and frightening collection of Christmas stories, featuring a wide ensemble of characters doing their best to avoid the horrors of the holidays\u201d (IMDb.com). Sometimes we watch a movie that's worse for how much promise it shows in an otherwise bad package. This is one of those times. \n\nAudio Sources:\n"All the Creatures Were Stirring (2018)" produced by FallBack Plan Productions\n"A Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book One" written by George R.
