Halloween is boring; let’s fuck with the holiest of holidays—Christmas! The episode (the first I ever saw I think) begins with the most comforting Christmas Eve setting you can imagine…there’s snow, candles, treats, a piano. And in very little time, a murder. Mary Ellen Trainor (Monster Squad) stars as the greedy wife who, after planting a poker into her husband’s head, finds herself running from the Grinch-like mental patient (Larry Drake [Dr. Giggles]) who dons a Santa Claus outfit, befriends her little girl, and hopes to add their names to his naughty list. Not a bad episode, but it’s a little too cat and mouse for my taste. There’s no real story or background here. It’s good for a jump, maybe, but not much of a shock.
