Part of the reason I started a holiday specials podcast to begin with because of things like “Witch’s Night Out,” which exists in its own little pocket universe disconnected from almost everything else, and I love it. So here’s a very old episode with @horrormoviebbq.bsky.social.

Yeah, yeah, Christmas in July. Great. Fun. But 17 years ago I married by best friend on this whole stinkin’ planet. This is my favorite photo of us.
Wedding day photo of my bride, smiling radiantly as a passing breeze tosses her veil into my face, causing me to make a goofy smile with my eyes shut. It’s perfect.

The Muppet Christmas Carol is great because Michael Caine treats the Muppets like riveting guns, and Muppet Treasure Island is great because Tim Curry treats himself like a Titleist golf bag.

“What a beautiful universe, hon" says a telescope as gazes upon an aurora borealis. “It really is”, responds the telescope's partner, who it turns out is not a telescope, but a microscope. Hands full of algae, she wades waist deep in a disgusting swamp, amazed by the heavenly microscopic life all around them.

Sam Neill was such a great actor and human being that any time John Carpenter went on an all-time hater rant against Chevy Chase, he would pause to gush about how much he loved Neill.
Black text, white background: Carpenter continued, “God, I don’t want to talk about why, but let’s just say there were personalities on that film. He shall not be named who needs to be killed. No, no, no, that’s terrible. He needs to be set on fire. No, no, no. Anyway, it’s all fine. I survived it.”

While not naming that individual, the “Halloween” auteur then clarified that Neill, for one, is a “terrific actor, I love working with him” and compared Neill’s acting style to that of Kurt Russell. “He comes prepared. He knows what he’s going to do,” Carpenter said. “He reacts to other actors who are there. I mean, he’s just a dream come true.”It gave me a chance to make a quasi-serious movie. But Chevy Chase, Sam Neill — who I love and had a longtime friendship with — and Warner Bros. … I worked for them, and it was pleasant. No, it wasn’t pleasant at all. I’m lying to you. It was a horror show. I really wanted to quit the business after that movie. God, I don’t want to talk about why, but let’s just say there were personalities on that film … he shall not be named who needs to be killed. No, no, no, that’s terrible. He needs to be set on fire. No, no, no. Anyway, it’s all fine. I survived it.
