Hi all, we released this in 2024 but we've decided to polish it up a bit with some added SFX and audio clean-up. This version of Evil Santa does not include the History of Santa Clause but you can find that story here in our previous version!

Happy Christmas & keep an eye out next week for last episode of 2025 -- Gremlins Horror Movie Recap!

This week, Tim and Luis dim the lights, gather ’round the tree, and slip back into a time when Christmas meant ghost stories by the fire. We explore three chilling Victorian tales: The Legend of the Mistletoe Bride, the eerie disappearance that became a centuries-old haunting; Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, a masterclass in isolation and dread; and Horror: A True Tale, a lesser-known but deeply unsettling account of spectral visitations.

We dig into why Victorians loved sharing ghost stories during the holidays, how these tales reflected the era’s anxieties, and why they still hold up as winter chill-setters today. Cozy up this is Christmas because we're telling stories the old-fashioned way: candlelight, cold winds, and things that knock at the door after midnight.

In 1984, a night of thrills turned into real-life horror when Six Flags Great Adventure’s “Haunted Castle” went up in flames. Eight teens entered for a scare—and never made it out. In this episode of Itty Bitty Horror, we explore how one of the deadliest amusement park disasters in U.S. history exposed shocking safety failures, led to nationwide fire code changes, and left a haunted legacy that still lingers at the park today.
