Years ago I saw John Carpenter's "Halloween" on the big screen, sort of... I showed up to the screening incredibly excited, but was quickly disillusioned when I realized what I was watching was a DVD of the film projected on the big screen. The end product of this was a muddy, dark picture with terrible sound. Needless to say, I'm eager to wipe that experience from my memory.

I may be the only one on the podcast willing to admit my unabashed love for "Santa's Slay", but even if you're not in my camp, the first three minutes of the movie (video after the jump) are worth revisiting for a number of reasons. The most important being, "what type of sexual deviance did the director catch these actors in to blackmail them into doing this?..." I hope James Caan in particular had a long, hard look in the mirror after shooting this scene, but hey, his excruciating embarrassment is our Christmas-time horror delight.
