Silent Night, Deadly Podcast: EP9 – THE CHILDREN (2008)

  |  
Apr 4, 2019

You asked for it, Harry Stadling asked for it, Caesar & Otto asked for it, and now Dread Central is proud to present the year-round Christmas horror podcast you’ve long been waiting for… Silent Night, Deadly Podcast! Chris, Kieran, Matt, and Rob – collectively known as “The Jingle Boys” to their friends and “who?” to everyone else – are prepared to take you on a demented journey through a winter wonderland of the best and worst tinsel terror the big (and small) screen has to offer.

This week’s slice of Christmas horror is a modern classic of the subgenre — yeah, we said it — that also doubles as one of the best “killer kid” movies you’ve ever had the bloody joy of seeing. 2008’s The Children pits a quartet of terrifying tykes against unsuspecting parents, and the result is a smart, suspenseful ride filled with grisly demises on both sides. Writer/director Tom Shankland hasn’t made a feature film since for some reason, but the four of us are planning to sit on Santa Claus’ lap in protest until a new Shankland movie lands underneath our Christmas tree.

Are there enough Christmas decorations to satisfy Chris? Do the kids die beautifully enough to leave Rob smiling? Is some cleavage enough to excite the pillow-loving Matt? Will Kieran remember to unmute his microphone? There’s only one way to find out the answers to these questions and more as The Jingle Boys settle in for a holiday weekend with The Children and some of the most malicious miscreants this side of, well, The Children (1980).

Episode 267: The Legendary John Harrison and The Haunting (1963)
This week we chat with filmmaker, producer, composer, writer, author...this guy's done it all...John Harrison. From working with George Romero on everything from Creepshow and Dawn of the Dead to Tales from the Darkside to the Dune miniseries to his Netflix series Residue...he's done it all. He even directed Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, which was Andrew LaSane's Scarred for Life pick, which is one of Terry's favorite movies. We chat about his long history in cinema; about how he started working with Romero to some insights into Tales from the Darkside. And we discuss his latest work, the novel Residue: Paramentals Rising, which is a sequel to the Netflix show. After learning about his horror history--including a memorable viewing of Night of the Living Dead--we find out why The Haunting terrified him as a twelve year old. John references an article written by Anthony McKay in Little Shoppe of Horrors, which can be ordered here. You can find Residue: Paramentals Rising wherever you buy your books or at WordFire Press.You can follow John on his website or Instagram and Facebook.Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Bluesky.
