From the Crypt: Ho-Ho-Horror Nerds, Art the Clown & a Very Unhinged Mrs. Claus

Send us Fan MailFrom the Crypt: It’s the holidays, the Horror Nerds are feeling festive, and comedic chaos ensues.In this holiday vault episode (because ho-ho-holy crap, we are TIRED from 2025), we dive into Terrifier 3 and Art the Clown’s blood-soaked Christmas chaos,  breaking down why the franchise works, how performance and practical effects elevate the gore, and what makes Art such a compelling modern slasher icon, ranking up there with the likes of Michael Myers, Freddy, and Jason. But it wouldn’t be a Horror Nerds holiday without a little extra nonsense. Samantha debuts a standup bit as Mrs. Claus, while Anthony and Bonnie jump in to a sketch as Santa and an Elf, navigating some… unexpected changes at the North Pole. The result is festive, unhinged, and very on brand.This is an audio-only From the Crypt release, pulled from last Christmas and still delivering big laughs, deep horror hilarity, and holiday chaos. Whether you’re here for Art the Clown, practical FX talk, or completely derailed Christmas characters, this episode has it all.Would you survive Christmas with Art the Clown?
