The Nice Harvest (THE LEECH [2022])
Happy (very-belated) Holidays everyone!!

In 1974 We Trust, 2006 Pays Cash (BLACK CHRISTMAS [1974] with Ed Brisson)
Happy Holidays! It's that time of year again, and unfortunately we were a bit short on time due to the scale of Episode 19 (the first part of our Nightmare on Elm Street retrospective). So although we didn't quite have enough time to put together a four-movie episode like last year, we wanted to...
