Episode 203: Holiday Horror Special
Horror stories at Christmas tap into the contrast between the season’s warmth and joy and the chilling thrill of the macabre. This juxtaposition heightens the experience, as the darkness of a ghostly tale feels even more vivid against the backdrop of twinkling lights and cozy fires. Historically, sharing spooky stories during long winter nights was a way to bond, adding a sense of communal excitement. Today, they serve as a thrilling reminder that the holiday season is not just about cheer but also mystery, reflection, and the timeless allure of the unknown.
