00:00Happy Holidays, Uglies!
00:19At first glance, the Christmas season can seem joyful, warm, and inviting.
00:25The glow of twinkling lights.
00:27The laughter around the fire.
00:30Ah, the scent of pine and cinnamon.
00:33But turn the diamond just slightly, and those happy images can turn very cold.
00:38The kind of chill that seeps into the marrow and gnaws at the soul.
00:43The laughter becomes strained.
00:45The crackling fire whispers of secrets best left buried.
00:49For some, Christmas is not joy, but a pageant of isolation.
00:54Empty rooms where laughter once echoed.
00:57Gifts left unopened beneath a dying tree.
01:00And even for those wrapped in the warmth of family, there are other horrors.
01:05The smiling Santa who lingers outside your window.
01:08The cheerful gift all glitter and bows with something sharp beneath the ribbon.
01:13Yes, for every tale of joy, there is one of terror.
01:18Christmas is a time of gifts and gatherings, but also of ghosts and grief.
01:23And sometimes, the most frightening thing about the holidays is the company you keep.
01:32Which reminds me, even we ourselves have a special guest this Christmas.
01:37Track, do be a dear, and illuminate our guest.
01:44After all, nothing says holiday cheer quite like the flicker of Christmas lights.
01:49Ah, yes, the true spirit of giving.
01:52Giving someone a little spark of life.
01:55Or rather, a lot.
01:58Oh, don't struggle, darling.
02:23It's just the thrill of reanimation.
02:25It never quite loses its charm.
02:31My darlings.
02:35I should have known I'd be spending the holidays with you two,
02:38whether I liked it or not.
02:40David, really, what is Christmas without a few forcibly festive guests gracing the gathering?
02:46Yes, but I must say there is nothing more horrifying than waking up here with you two year after year.
02:53It's like the ghosts of Christmas past with a vendetta.
02:58Well, now that you're awake and appropriately charged, let's begin our festivities properly.
03:05Yes, to truly capture the season's spirit, it's time for our first tale of holiday cheer.
03:11A story about family, about the bonds that never truly break, not even in death.
03:17Because sometimes the greatest horrors aren't the ones that arrive uninvited,
03:23but the ones you welcome in.
03:27Now gather around and remember, for some, the cold embrace of death is just the beginning.
03:34This tale is aptly titled, Gaudete.
03:37Gaudete.
03:38Aggies.
03:39Yes, it is.
03:39As a fortunate sound.
03:41Yes, it doesn't.
03:42Good day.
04:00Bzz top.
04:01Oh!
04:01Look, I know it's not the happiest time, but it's Christmas Eve.
04:26We need to make the best of it.
04:27She wants to be happy.
04:31We're not even unpacked yet.
04:34Like, at all.
04:36All of my shit is still in boxes.
04:39All her stuff is still here.
04:41Everywhere I look, I see her.
04:43I know.
04:44It's just, it didn't feel right getting rid of anything.
04:48It's too soon.
04:50You guys should be happy.
04:54She left us this huge house.
04:55Fresh start.
04:56It's sad what happened to her, but she's the full wife.
05:13We all got to go sometime.
05:17He's right.
05:17We could have never afforded a house after your dad left.
05:22I mean, we were barely making it before John showed up.
05:26How did John help, exactly?
05:30Grandma left us the house and the money.
05:33Judy, don't be difficult.
05:35Because this is already hard enough.
05:36We're not.
05:57I mean, I'm not even good.
05:58Just like kids.
05:59We're not even bad.
06:00I'm not even good.
06:01No.
06:02We're not.
06:04We're not.
06:04Why did you leave me here alone with them?
06:30Judy, honey, I'm so sorry.
06:48Look, I know this happening so close to Christmas makes it a hundred times worse.
06:53I miss her too. So much.
06:55I can't even believe this is our life now.
07:04I don't like it, Mom.
07:08I don't want to be here with him. I think it's gross that he's even in this house.
07:13Judy, please, try to understand that your dad has been gone a long time.
07:19Would you prefer me to just be alone forever?
07:27If this is the alternative, then yeah, I would.
07:36You know what? Forget it, Mom.
07:39Merry Christmas.
07:40Merry Christmas.
07:40Merry Christmas.
08:10Merry Christmas.
14:40We've been going at this for hours, okay?
14:42We need to make a decision.
14:43I said it a thousand times.
14:45We kill it, and when the sun comes up, we try to find our way back to the car.
14:48Plus, look what that fucker did to my arm.
14:50It's an animal.
14:51What are you expected to do?
14:51Look at it.
14:52It's scared.
14:52It's hurt.
14:53Oh, it's hurt.
14:54It's scared.
14:54It tried to kill us, and it's definitely what took Tara.
14:57No, no, no.
14:57We don't know that for sure, okay?
14:59Yes, it's the reason why eight people are missing.
15:01Yes, it's the reason why eight people are missing.
15:01We don't know that this is what took those eight people.
15:03My sister was one of those people.
15:04Exactly.
15:05Plus, look at its eyes.
15:07Don't.
15:08Just because we trapped it doesn't mean that you have to be cruel to it.
15:11Guys, look.
15:11The sun will be up any minute, but let's just leave it in the snare and go get help.
15:15That's the smart thing to do.
15:16Look, look.
15:16It waved at me.
15:17Raven, shut up.
15:18It just moved its arm.
15:20You're crazy.
15:21Don't.
15:22Stop it.
15:22All right, stop.
15:23All right?
15:24We're here for Tara, okay?
15:25And I want to know what happened to her, and I want to know if this thing is the thing
15:27that took her.
15:28It is.
15:29Don't.
15:29Don't fucking touch me.
15:31You're being an asshole.
15:32Jesus Christ.
15:33Raven, fuck.
15:34Zoe, are you okay?
15:35I'm fine.
15:36No, that's it.
15:37I'm done.
15:38I'm fucking done.
15:38This is ridiculous, okay?
15:40I'm going to try to get back to the car one more time.
15:42It's going to be laid out soon.
15:43I probably won't get lost, and hopefully there'll still be a signal there.
15:46But guys, we need to stick together, okay?
15:50For Tara.
15:54Take care of them.
15:57Them?
16:05The snare's choking at...
16:06Raven, get the fuck away from that thing.
16:08Sorry.
16:09This is supposed to be humane.
16:11Raven, stop.
16:11Stop, stop, stop, stop.
16:13There.
16:16It's okay.
16:17If it was going to hurt me, it would have already...
16:18You guys.
16:36Fuck.
16:36Shit.
16:37I got completely lost again.
16:40There's no signal for...
16:41I got completely lost again.
16:43There's no signal for...
16:45I got completely lost again.
16:46I can't.
16:51He did...
16:51I completely lost again.
16:57I don't know.
17:01Don't worry.
17:01That's weird.
17:32Okay, what is a five-letter word for blameworthy?
17:38No.
17:39Help is a four-letter word, silly.
17:45I got it.
17:48Shame.
17:49Yep, that's it.
17:54Aren't you glad I helped you find your sister?
18:02Merry Christmas Day!
18:11Ah, there you are.
18:18I thought you naughty little things had untied yourselves and escaped.
18:22Trust us, don't bother.
18:25It'd be a waste of your time.
18:26You'd either just freeze to death or the hounds would tear you the little delicious bits of mincemeat.
18:32So tell me again why I haven't already untied them?
18:37Christmas isn't the only winter holiday.
18:39There is also the horror of New Year's Eve.
18:42A night of resolutions, fresh starts, and ticking clocks that sound just a little bit too much, like a countdown to the end.
18:51A time to remember those we've lost, and sometimes a time for those lost to remember us.
18:58After all, the dead have nothing but time, and they do love to stay in touch.
19:05The calls from beyond come when you least expect them.
19:09A voice on the line, a whisper in the attic.
19:13A message from the dearly departed who just can't take a hint.
19:19They say dead men tell no tale, but they never mention the dead calling collect.
19:25So tonight, we invite you to ring in the new year with a message from the other side.
19:33Let's raise a glass, my fiendish friends, because our next tale is a little story about goodbyes that come far too late.
19:41We call this one Old Acquaintance.
19:55I can't do this anymore.
20:17Ain't nobody making you stay here.
20:20You want to leave, baby girl, leave.
20:22But you walk out that door, don't come back!
20:25Daddy, what are you so afraid of?
20:27Get the hell out of my house!
20:30Oh!
20:32Getting late.
20:32Boom!
20:35Boom!
20:36Goop!
20:37Tossing!
20:40Tossing!
20:59Goop!
21:00I guess it's been a while since you've been back here.
21:08Graduation.
21:10Right.
21:13You know,
21:16no one blames you for leaving.
21:19Everyone knows that your father had his demons.
21:31How did my father die?
21:38Violently.
21:42If you don't mind, I'm running late, so...
21:48Oh, and Happy New Year.
22:00I can't.
22:01I can't.
22:02I can't.
22:04I can't.
22:06I can't.
22:08Oh, my God.
22:38What the hell?
23:01Should all the acquaintance be forgotten
23:07And ever brought to life
23:11Should all acquaintance be forgotten
23:16And all plain signs
23:22What the hell?
23:34Maya?
23:37I know you're there, baby girl
23:39I know you came home
23:41I'm sorry
23:43For all of you
23:44I'm so sorry
23:46But listen to me
23:48You have to find the phone
23:50You have to do what you couldn't do
23:52You have to answer the call
23:54Answer before it finds you too
23:57Daddy
23:58Answer it before it finds you
24:00God
24:03What the hell?
24:04What the hell?
24:05What is going on?
24:06Ow!
24:07God damn it!
24:08What the fuck is that?
24:10Where is it?
24:11Why is it?
24:12No
24:13God damn it!
24:14No
24:15No
24:16No
24:17No
24:18No
24:19No
24:20No
24:21No
24:22No
24:23No
24:24No
24:25No
24:26No
24:27No
24:28No
24:29No
24:30What the fuck is it?
24:52There.
24:59You were right.
25:01You were all right.
25:03I had my demons.
25:05It got me.
25:07Now it's gonna get you.
25:22You're all right, my dear.
25:25You're all right, my dear.
25:27You're all right, my dear.
25:52Hello?
26:05Maya?
26:07Daddy.
26:09Daddy, I found the phone.
26:11I answered.
26:13I know, baby girl.
26:15But you shouldn't have broken the answering machine.
26:20Now, it's truly free.
26:37That's so soon, my calamitous little carolers.
26:40And scratching at the door for more, I see.
26:43Fear can be a real dopamine rush, can't it?
26:47And sometimes the scariest holiday tales are filled with merriment and misfortune.
26:53A Christmas tree caught on fire.
26:55The screams of naughty little brats being gobbled up by Krampus.
26:59A yule log to the skull.
27:02These truly are a few of my favorite things.
27:05Well, the holidays are all about family.
27:09And nothing brings people together like fear.
27:14Tonight we've prepared another holiday tale of our own.
27:17So grab your cocoa, gather round, and don't forget to look up.
27:22You never know who or what might come creeping down in the dead of night.
27:28We call this one down the chimney and trust us.
27:32The real horror isn't who comes in.
27:35It's who doesn't make it out.
27:37It's because of the
28:00I don't know.
28:30I don't know.
29:00I don't know.
29:30I don't know.
30:00I don't know.
30:30I don't know.
31:00I don't know.
31:30I don't know.
32:00I don't know.
32:30Hey, my name is Merry Christmas.
32:32It's Christmas.
32:33Let's see what Santa got us.
32:38There's no presents.
32:40No presents.
32:42It was originally bad this year.
32:44Christmas.
32:58Christmas.
33:00Wee-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e!
33:30Aaaaah!
33:33Huh?
33:38Aaaaah!
34:00Aaaaah!
34:02Aaaaah!
34:14Well, my darlings, it seems we've come to the bitter end of our holiday of horrors.
34:19But yours have hopefully just begun.
34:22Whether it's a fire in your church at midnight mass,
34:25where the doors have been conveniently locked,
34:28or a lonely predator hiding behind your bushes on Christmas Eve,
34:33his breath freezing on the air as he watches.
34:37Or perhaps a slashing Salvation Army Santa,
34:42hunting you down through the empty mall parking lot,
34:45his bell ringing with each bloody step.
34:48We have high hopes that this holiday season will be full of horror,
34:52wrapped up in a bow, stuffed under your tree,
34:55and designed just for you.
34:58Thank you all for joining us on this festive fright night.
35:03We hope our little tails left you warm but shivering,
35:07filled with cheer and a little bit of fear.
35:10So lock your doors, dim your lights,
35:13but don't bother hanging the mistletoe,
35:15because the only kisses you'll be getting this year are those of death.
35:19So may your Christmases be cursed,
35:22and your New Year's Eve nightmarish.
35:25trustworthy-
35:30renaline jackets arebliills of three feet.
35:31Still have верс service for a kontax,
35:33and other��xious introductions.
35:34You're also continuing to wipe the relationship between Doug and George
35:35and GeorgeFrey,
35:36and I think in the chemistry of my family,
35:37you're clearly able to lift off the street,
35:38you're such a significant meaning.
