Quote of the Week
The Byronic Hero and I have been spending a lot of time brainstorming holiday horror movies, and have concluded that Jewish holidays are a largely untapped source, ranging from Chanukah (at least one candle has to stay lit or the monster will get the protagonist), Passover (home invasion by blood libel-believing cult after local child goes missing) and Yom Kippur (man pursued by monster embodying his own regret), and even Christmas (”Merry Christmas!” says the killer Santa guy; “I’m Jewish” says the final girl, cocking a shotgun.)
