Ruth: “...and that’s how I found out there was no Santa Claus.” #TheArchers #Gremlins

A still from the film Gremlins (1984) featuring Kate (Phoebe Cates), and the caption: ‘And that’s how I found out there was no Santa Claus.’ In the scene, Kate has just disclosed to Billy (Zach Galligan) and Gizmo that her father went missing on Christmas Eve when she was nine years old, but he was then found dead in their fireplace several days later. Planning to surprise his family dressed as Santa, he accidentally slipped and broke his neck while climbing down the chimney. Still suffering from PTSD due to the incident, Kate explains that this led to her disdain for the holidays.
