Okay, well, normally I don't give away
the programming in advance.
Everything is supposed to be a surprise on
"The Last Drive-In" and "Joe Bob's Red Christmas,"
but now that "Black Christmas" is behind us,
the rest of the evening is gonna be all about
Christmas cheer and healing and love and friendship
and...yeah, we do have a few murders and impalements
and torture scenes coming up, but other than that...
My point being that I've invited all the other horror hosts
in America to join me for a Christmas celebration
here at the end of the year,
and since there aren't as many of us as there used to be,
I'm especially thrilled
the queen of them all will be dropping by.
And the most famous male horror host,
probably because he's been doing it for 50 years.
How long has he been on the air, Austin?
More than 50 years, maybe.
Longer than me anyhow, and that's a long time.
And then we're also bringing in some contemporary horror hosts
and some local horror hosts, and we're all gonna kick back
some egg nog and trade horror host secrets
and bring the drive-in mutants together in unity.
Aw. That might be the sweetest speech I've ever heard you make.
I know, right? What's wrong with me?
[Laughs] Are we really doing that?
Yes, starting at the very first break of this next movie,
our main guest will be right here with me,
and she is very, very famous.
Oh, my God. A female horror host who's very famous?
-I wonder who it could be? -I can't tell you.
Ooh, I'm dyingof suspense.
And then, of course, we've got the big closer --
when you are brutally impaled on razor-sharp reindeer antlers.
Oh. Now they're razor-sharp?
Yeah, well, they may not be razor-sharp,
they may just be enormous, like moose antlers or something.
Yuki is finding the most badass antlers available.
Am I gonna need a special wardrobe for that?
I think you need to be nekkid.
I mean, wasn't Linnea Quigley nekkid in
"Silent Night, Deadly Night," Austin?
-Yeah. -Yeah, okay, no --
No, she had shorts on.
-Oh, okay, just half-nekkid. -Yeah.
Well, we'll have somebody come in
and advise you on your wardrobe for that.
Maybe we should have done that a couple of weeks ago.
Okay, but first we have
a deranged mutant killer snowman movie.
And not just any psycho snowman movie,
the best psycho snowman movie --
actually the only psycho snowman movie, "Jack Frost."
Yay!
You've been a long-time champion of "Jack Frost," I know.
Oh, yes, I love "Jack Frost."
Thank God there are no Santa Clauses in this movie,
so no need for any Santa hats on "The Last Drive-In."
I'm not putting on a Santa hat again this year.
If I can get impaled by giant antlers,
you can put on a Santa hat.
We'll talk about that later.
Right now we're gonna get nasty with a snowman.
Ooh, I am so down for that.
"Jack Frost" is the story of what happens
when a sadistic cannibalistic serial killer
on his way to the execution chamber
gets mangled into a gelatinous mess
when his prison transport vehicle crashes into a truck
carrying a top-secret experimental DNA scrambler,
and since it's Christmastime in Colorado,
it all gets mixed up with the thick snow on the ground,
and pretty soon we've got a giant snowman
with revenge on his mind.
Sure, we've seen it before, but have we seen it
with cleaning supplies used as deadly weapons?
I think not.
Let's look at those drive-in totals and get started here.
We have...
But, unfortunately, they are snow breasts.

Joe Bob says check it out.
How come every winter it's a snowman
and not a snowwoman?
Nobody ever says, "Hey, let's go outside
and build a snowwoman," right?
Even though, think about it -- ever seen legs on a snowman?
No. Of course not. Too hard, right?
Snowwoman, it can just be that she's in a long dress.
Of course, I'm stereotyping.
The snowman could also be in a long dress.
And, hey, you know what? Snowtran.
It's not a snowman, it's a snowtran.
'Cause everything on a snowperson is ambiguous, right?
So you just sit in your front yard and you wait for people
to come by and say, "Hey, great snowman!"
And you say, "How do you know it's a man? Bigot!"
You know, so, come on, it'll make the Christmas season
festive, you know.
"It's a snowtran, you ignorant cisgender doofus, you."
Because that's what we do in America, right?
We tell one another how worthless we all are
when we use the English language to mean the same thing
it's meant for a thousand years. [Chuckles]
Are we really having a party tonight?
That is the second time you've asked me
if we're having a party tonight.
Yes. I've invited every horror host in America.
Well, most of them. I mean, the famous ones.
We invited the famous ones.
We invited at least three horror hosts.
Oh, my God, it's going to be so fun!
We have to decorate.
Okay. Yuki!
We got -- Oh, Yuki, no, no, no.
Forget it, you're way too busy.
We'll do the decorations ourselves.
No. Work on that, Yuki.

Once upon a time, there lived a man by the name --
by the name of Jack Frost.
-Jack Frost? -That's right.
Like in the song, "Jack Frost nipping at your nose."
[Giggles]
Only this guy did it for real.
You know how regular folk get up in the morning,
eat something, then hurry off to do whatever for the day?
Uh-huh.
Well, Jack would get up, eat something,
then hurry off and kill someone.
'Cause that's what he did. He killed people.
He'd stick knives in their faces and cut out their tummies.
And stamp on their heads till their brains got all runny.
Uncle Henry, I don't think this is such a --
Hey, hey, hey. You wanted a story, you got a story.
Uh, okay.
But why did he hurt people?
How should I know?
Maybe his mum and dad never gave him enough hugs.
Maybe they gave him too many hugs.
Or maybe he just liked the color red
and things that went squish when he stuck
sharp points in them.
-Oh. -It doesn't matter.
The only thing that's important is that no one could catch him.
Some say that Jack was a ghost, that he was already dead
and could walk through walls or vanish into thin air.
-Oh. -Truth is he never stayed
in one place long enough to be caught.
-See, Jack was smart. -Uh-huh.
He'd drift into a town, blend in,
puree a few of the locals, then just drift off
to some place else that needed a little social pruning.
Any towns that had too many little girls
that looked just like you.
But -- But they did catch him didn't they Uncle Henry?
Well, for five years, through 11 states and 38 deaths,
Jack was nimble, Jack was quick,
Jack gouged eyes with candlesticks.
He smashed in skulls with sticks and stones.
Used iron bars to crush their bones
so he could hide his kills in tiny places,
and he wouldn't have to see their faces.
Uncle Henry --
That is until the pies.
Pies?
Yeah, little bits of people started turning up
in Mrs. Puddles' pecan pies all over the Midwest.
[Gasps]
Fingertips, eyelids, earlobes.
Mm-hmm, some say that Jack had got sloppy
or that deep down he really wanted to be caught.
Others said that it made the pies taste better.
-Eww. -Bottom line --
Jack had made his first mistake.
Authorities knew where he worked.
Within a week, they traced his car.
Then it was just a matter of time before he was caught,
tried, and sentenced to die.
Oh.
In fact, right this very moment,

That opening "happy scary story" with the nasty storyteller
talking to the little girl?
That was writer/director Michael Cooney, a British guy
who was 26 years old when he made this movie.
It was originally gonna be a $30 million movie
directed by Renny Harlin, but when that deal fell through,
Michael Cooney said, "Well, what the hell?
Let's just rent a camera and, you know, shoot it low budget."
And so they went up to Big Bear, up in those mountains
a couple hours east of LA, where a million movies
have been filmed, and it was 1994, and that happened to be
the warmest winter in the history of Big Bear.
No snow. They had to fake all the snow.
They used foam, they used paper,
they used anything they could find.
But Michael Cooney is basically a writer --
he writes and produces TV series --
although he did direct the sequel in 2000,
"Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman."
And the less said about that one, the better.
But he's got a weird résumé.
He also directed many episodes of "Center Stage."
Now, I don't think anybody outside New York City
would know what "Center Stage" is,
but it's just the main announcer for the Yankees, Michael Kay,
interviewing random people on a set that looks like
it was rented that morning at the Ethan Allan Furniture Store,
so...
With a studio audience of, like, 12 people.
So, if I were Michael Cooney,
I don't think I'd be putting that show on my résumé.
Anyway, Michael Cooney does the voice-over
for the scary story told during the titles,
and he also does the voice of the little girl
that the story is being told to.
Jack Frost himself is played by
veteran character actor Scott MacDonald.
In fact, every single actor in this movie
is a character actor.
You should just write the words "veteran character actor"
before every thespian who's working in "Jack Frost."
No stars, just people with 2,000 credits each.
But Scott MacDonald is the king of them all.
He has done everything.
Grew up in Libby, Montana,
he went to Washington State -- Go Cougars!
He's a big Cougars fan.
Ouch, Scott, I saw that UCLA game.
Anyway, he got his master's in acting
at the California Institute of the Arts
in Santa Clarita, California.
Hundreds of LA people have gone there.
And then he did the regional theater thing --
all the best actors do that.
And then his big breakthrough --
And I saw this on opening night.
I don't know what I was doing there.
But he got the lead on Broadway in "The Kentucky Cycle."
Now, he was outstanding.
The play quickly closed 'cause it was one of those things
that's six fucking hours long!
Good grief, you know?
And I thought I was a motivated theatergoer.
It's the story of my people, rednecks in Eastern Kentucky,
and I still thought it was too damn long.
Anyway, Scott MacDonald got noticed for that role,
and since then, he's just been killing it.
He has played six different creatures
and one human on various "Star Trek" shows.
You know, that's versatile.
On stage, he's been both Hamlet and Bullwinkle the Moose.
But in the horror world, this is what he's known for,
and what's really interesting to me is he plays Jack Frost
as a human and Jack Frost as the monster.
Usually that's two different actors.
But he does all the voices, he does all the physical stuff.
Very impressive guy.
Anyhow, at the next break, we'll be joined by several
of my horror host colleagues,
as "Joe Bob's Very Red Christmas" continues.
So roll the film.

Okay.
Okay. No, absolutely not.
I completely understand.
You've got all that Christmas stuff going on in Chicago.
Texas is hard to get to.

Hey! Stay scary, man.
I'll check back in a less hectic time for you.

Yeah. Okay. Great.
Cool. Uh-huh. Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Okay, bye.
Well, yeah, you know, horror hosts are busy at Christmas.
They are?
Yeah. Okay, so in the part we just watched,
that was veteran character actor Jack Lindine
as Jake, the dad with an ax shoved down his throat,
and that was veteran character actress Kelly Jean Peters
who was killed with the Christmas tree lights
and used as an ornament
by veteran character actor Scott MacDonald as Jack Frost.
All these are TV people.
If you added up all the TV series represented by the cast
of this movie, you'd probably have a thousand shows.
So, anyway, I love the quirky musical tracks on this movie.
Kind of country music for children
combined with country music for drunks, so...
And the townspeople remind me of a Preston Sturges movie,
you know, something like "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek,"
where everybody in town is an oddball.
Michael Cooney, the director,
is the son of Ray Cooney,
the famous writer of British farces.
And I say "famous." He's not really famous in this country,
but he's famous in places where people laugh at British farces.
So we'll talk about that later.
So can I assume that we're not doing the party?
No! We're doing the party! We're just starting late.

Frosty the Dog said that, the Dr Pepper dog said that.
You know how I know that? 'Cause there was always
a Frosty Dog float in the Cotton Bowl Parade.
Dr Pepper was invented in Waco,
but they moved it to here in Dallas,
so that was the home of Frosty Dog,
or Frosty theDog.
We need to look that up and get it straight.

You know, there's a character in the movie
in an orange parka.
Actually, I think the same guy plays six different characters,
all wearing an orange parka.
But he's the guy saying those highly inappropriate things
like, "You don't reckon we should leave her up
for the 12 days of Christmas, do you?"
meaning the head of Mrs. Metzner
on the top of the Christmas tree.
That actor is not even an actor.
It's a guy named Brett Boydstun,
who was transportation coordinator on the film.
Meaning the chief driver.
And I think the weird humor of the movie
and what makes it popular at weed parties in college dorms
is that it's small-town America as filtered
through a British farce sensibility.
How do we know that?
We know that because Michael Cooney,
the writer/director, is the son of Ray Cooney,
the English playwright who wrote "Run for Your Wife,"
one of the longest-running comedies in the history
of the West End theater district in London.
It ran for nine years.
But Ray Cooney has actually written 17 plays
that were produced in the West End.
He got his start as an actor in the Whitehall farces
of the 1950s and '60s.
And we don't have time to go into the Whitehall Farces.
It's a Brit thing.
And does anybody even watch us in the UK?
I know we're on in the UK, but --
I know one guy -- yeah, one guy in Scotland --
At least two.
Two guys in Scotland who watch the show religiously,
but I don't think our penetration
is that amazing in England.
Penetration.
Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt all that,
but did anyone else RSVP for the party?
'Cause I'm gonna have to --We're not doing that.
We're not?We're not doing the party.
Okay.
Well, we had a horror host just send his regrets.
He just found out about it like just now,
and he lives too far away to get here.
-He wanted to come to our party? -Yeah, yeah.
Well, there is no party.
Just get the -- get the deer antler stunt set up.
We're gonna -- We're going to that after the third movie.
We'll -- We'll sing a sad song, and then we'll do the stunt,
and that'll be Christmas here.
Why a sad song?
They're not really sad songs.
They're songs about how sad you are, and then you remember
it's Christmas, and somebody gives you five dollars.
What?
I'm -- I'm not in the mood to explain
how Christmas songs work right now.
But just get -- John Brennan will write a --
You know, we'll get him to sing a famous sad Christmas song.
Won't that cost us, like, $20,000?
I don't care if it costs $20,000! You know?
Austin: Yeah, no, no. We'll get, like, a sad cover song.
Hey, John, do you --
John, do you know -- do you know a sad Christmas song
that's in the public domain?
John: "Joy to the World"?
Does anybody besides me see what I'm dealing with here?
Are you listening, John?
The word "joy" in the title of the song
is a dead giveaway that's not a sad song.
Oh, I can make it sad.
We're not gonna make "Joy to the World" sad.
No, that's not what we're doing here, John.
This may be the worst Christmas special
that I've ever done, and I've done quite a few.
Okay. What was I talking about?
I was talking about British farce, all right?
Three people in our audience
want to hear me talk about British farce.
So, anyway, in the '50s and the '60s,
they had these silly, mindless comedies
with mistaken identities and saucy butlers
and people eavesdropping behind windowsills,
and they would play at the Whitehall Theatre in London.
Which is still there, but today it's called Trafalgar Studios.
And the actor-manager of that theater was Brian Rix.
And Brian Rix would produce these plays with titles
like "Dry Rot" and "Simple Spymen"
and "One for the Pot." "One for the Pot" was written
by Michael Cooney's father, Ray Cooney.
And Brian Rix would act in the plays,
and they would be sellouts,
but they were considered low class,
you know, sort of like this show, you know.
And so one of the actors in Brian Rix's plays...
Lord Rix, actually.
They put him in the House of Lords, he was so popular.
But one of the actors in his plays was Ray Cooney,
who then wrote a bunch of hit plays
while Michael Cooney was growing up.
So Michael Cooney grew up in rehearsal rooms
with a lot of British WAGs, as they say.
So he listened to a lot of British wagging
as they produced these shows, and I think that style of dry
but wacky comedy -- meaning ridiculous situations
but understated in the dialogue --
rubbed off on this movie.
Get it? Does that make any sense?
Okay, back to the movie.
Does anybody remember "Run for Your Wife"?
The most famous of Ray Cooney's plays?
It's about a bigamist taxi driver.
He has two families.
But then, he ends up in the hospital,
and so he has to shuffle both families around
and also deal with two different police forces,
leading to a series of absurd situations.
And Ray Cooney himself took the lead
when the play came to Broadway, and of course, it bombed,
it closed really quickly because we don't get that kind of humor.
We just don't fathom it.
And the film adaptation of "Run for Your Wife" in 2013
is considered one of the worst films in British history,
even by the British.
And that's a nation that thought Benny Hill was funny.
So, you know, anyway, if anything about it
resulted in a vicious killer snowman movie,
we like it, right?Yeah.
So what did I spend there --
five minutes discussing the Whitehall farces?
You know who else performed at the Whitehall Theatre?
You totally don't care about this one, right?
But you know who else performed there?
Phyllis Dixey.
Phyllis Dixey.
Anybody know who that is?
The greatest of all British strippers?
You know? They didn't call 'em strippers,
they called 'em "nude studies."
So she was the queen of the nude study girls.
You know? Phyllis Dixey.

Okay, so, normally, I don't like to get down
into the nitty-gritty detail about rape scenes,
but since I've never seen a giant snowman
rape anyone before, and since this is the scene
that launched Shannon Elizabeth's career --
speaking of Waco.
Frosty, man, Frosty.
Shannon is from Waco.
We have so many inside jokes buried within
tangential references that I'm really getting sick of myself.
So, Waco native Shannon Elizabeth
gets offered her very first movie and her agent says,
"No, really, listen to me. Being raped by a giant snowman
will put you on the fast track to superstardom."
And so she does the scene.
But before I talk about that...
[Laughs]
...let's talk about the carrot, all right?
When she gets in the tub,
the carrot is floating on the surface of the water.
As the rape occurs, the snowman has no nose.
When the rape is over, the snowman makes a point
of putting the carrot back on his face.
So did we just see what I think we saw?
Because that's weirdly fetishistic.
But the snowrape would indeed launch Shannon Elizabeth
on a career path that included "American Pie,"
"Scary Movie," one of those "Jay and Silent Bob" movies --
I don't remember which one --
"Dancing with the Stars," before becoming
the world's leading spokesperson
for the fight against rhinoceros poaching.
Yes, that's what I said. And it all started
with a carrot and the world's most pissed-off snow cone.
Okay, let's get back to the movie.
I'm starting to get all melancholy and Christmasy,
and you know what? At the next break --
come on out, John Brennan --
John Brennan and I are gonna sing
"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
and make everybody cry.
Austin: You're not gonna make anybody cry.
We're not -- We're not doing that song.
"White Christmas." We'll sing "White Christmas."
No. Not doing that either.
"Little Drummer Boy." We'll do it like Bing Crosby
did it with David Bowie, all right?
Nope. Nope.
You know, all Christmas songs should be free.
I hate the commercialization of Christmas.
"Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer," we'll sing that.
Can't do it.
Are you telling me people pay royalties to sing
"Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"?
Fortunately we're gonna impale Darcy later.

Thank you.No problem.

Welcome to the team, Doc.
Now talk to me.
Jack Frost was an accident.
It was meant to be next-level genetic research.
To ensure the survival of our race through a global holocaust,
I created an acid that would bond a human chromosome helix
with an inert material
so that we could be resurrected in our future.
But something happened in the accident.
The snow didn't just store Jack Frost's DNA.
It's taken on his personality.
Exactly. You know what that means?
Yeah. It means he's killing my friends.
No, Sheriff.
It means that the soul exists.
And it's not just some esoteric spiritual entity
or even a vague electrical force.
The soul is a chemical.
You're insane.
This isn't what we could be talking about right now.
Frost's manifestation is my proof.
It's invaluable, we cannot destroy it.
Don't you get it?
Jack Frost came back here to get at me.
And he's gonna kill anybody who gets in his path.
If we don't destroy him, he's gonna kill every last one of us.
♪♪
I have no idea how to stop it.
♪♪
We have to contain it. How?
We have to put him in an absolutely watertight container,
otherwise he's gonna leak out. We can't risk that.
But to destroy it --
What do you want us to do, Stone?
Wait till spring and see if he melts?
Wait a minute, what about the furnace down in the basement?
Surely that's hot enough to destroy him.
Well, we tried blowing him up. It just pissed him off.
I-I suppose it's possible
that the sustained heat could agitate
the molecules sufficiently to destroy the helix.
Fine, fine, but how the hell do we lure him down there?
We don't lure him.
We force him.
"He's chillin' and killin'."
That was the tag line on the poster.
And I don't want to presume to understand the science
going on in this movie, but I think Jack Frost
can only kill when he's frozen,
and you can only kill him when he's frozen.
Stephen Mendel, the actor playing Manners,
the FBI agent -- Bad Manners, as somebody calls him --
veteran character actor.
You've seen him in a hundred things but you don't remember
him because he's a chameleon, he's totally unrecognizable
from one role to the next.
He plays good guys, bad guys, scientists, doctors, lawyers,
judges, sometimes wears a beard, sometimes wears a mustache,
wears a lot of hairpieces, different kinds of eyeglasses.
And he always sounds different.
He's a master of accents and dialects.
So he's in big demand for animation.
He does a lot of voice work for video games, audiobooks,
radio, TV commercials.
He's a singer, he plays guitar.
He studies an obscure martial art called Aiki Jujitsu.
He teaches scuba diving.
I was learning all this stuff about him and I was thinking,
"Man, this guy is so accomplished,
he makes us all look lazy,"
and then I found the ultimate résumé item --
"Sings Celtic music in pubs."
Are you kidding me?
Stephen Mendel, Agent Manners.
So speaking of singing in pubs,
I think we came up with one worthy of a beer joint,
if not a pub.
But, you know, I wanted a grim song,
like that "Merry, Merry Christmas" song
that Bonnie Tyler does, but these cheap wimps,
they don't want to spring for it, so...
See, I told you guys, the whole horror community
Christmas party thing was not gonna work.
You know, number of horror hosts so far
who say they want to come to the party -- one.
You know, where was he from?
Austin: Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Yeah, okay, so, number of horror hosts
showing up for the party -- zero!
Okay, let's do the song.
John Brennan, ladies and gentlemen,
our production coordinator who, ever since he helped us out
with "Hey, Travis Crabtree" back when we played
"Legend of Boggy Creek," he's been burning it up
with a series of 45s.
John, you're the only guy I know who releases his music on 45s.
But the punk version of "The Drive-In Oath,"
that's John.
The prom song at the end of the series last season,
that was John.
Okay, now, John, I asked you
to get really, really sentimental, self-pitying,
and sad.
But from within me. You know?
And you tried to do a "Joy to the World" cover.
So I know this is not in the dead center
of your comfort zone, so -- but together,
by sort of like getting -- getting sadder
than you've ever been a single moment in your life, John,
we got to a point where we came up with a sort of
crying-in-your beer, you know, Hank Williams-type, lonely...
Not Hank Williams Jr., but you know,
the one and only Hank Williams.
I told him I wanted a song like "Long Gone Lonesome Blues."
And he did it just in time for the stunning conclusion of...
"Jack Frost."
Okay, John, tune it up
while I stall for time here a little bit.
This "Jack Frost" is not to be confused
with the 1998 "Jack Frost"
starring Michael Keaton as a snowman
who is inhabited by the spirit of a dead musician
who comes back on Christmas to bond with his young son.
Puke-a-rama. No!
This is the rapist serial killer "Jack Frost,"
the "Jack Frost" that God intended.
And I still can't get over that thing about Agent Manners
singing Celtic music in pubs.
What language is that? Gaelic or something.
And then he goes home and does some aiki-iki-jutsu.
Kung Fu is not good enough for him.
I actually looked up Aiki Jujitsu
when I was researching this movie,
and it's so complicated,
you can't even pronounce the moves that they make.
But I found this one quote that sums it up.
It says, "The secret of Aiki" -- that's another name for it --
"The secret of Aiki is to overpower the opponent mentally
at a glance and to win without fighting."
Which sounds like you just go around staring people down
and they drop to their knees and beg for mercy.
So I'm gonna guess that that would not work
in a Texas beer joint.
See, some of this Japanese stuff,
they assume that your opponent is,
number one, intelligent and, number two, paying attention.
That doesn't work if he's on PCP
and he just came from a tractor pull.
So, they don't have that possibility
in the Aiki Jujitsu handbook.
All right. Are you ready, John?
Ready.

Did you notice all the little insider jokes in the credits?
It's great that they kept their sense of humor,
because it was what they call a "troubled" project.
Made in 1993 and 1994, but it didn't come out until 1997.
It was 18-day shoot, and it didn't snow up there
on Big Bear Lake a single day.
The cavalry there at the end,
Paul Davrow, the store owner who shows up with the antifreeze,
that actor was F. William Parker,
kind of the ultimate veteran character actor
in a film full of veteran character actors.
Still working today in his late 70s,
and I don't mean the occasional walk-on guest role.
The man does dinner theater in Kansas.
And by the way, that big stunt at the end,
the biggest stunt in the movie, where the sheriff jumps
on the snowman, and they fly through the window
and land in the bed of the pickup truck --
one take for that.
Stone, the CIA guy, that's Rob LaBelle.
He has a hundred credits.
And of course, the star of the movie --
here's the great irony --
Christopher Allport as Sam the Sheriff.
He was in his early 40s when they made the movie.
He'd been in dozens of movies at that point,
usually in supporting roles, but the ironic part
is that 10 years after this movie came out,
he would be killed...by snow.
He was skiing at the Mountain High ski resort
in the San Gabriel Mountains, the same mountains
where this movie was filmed, and he and two other people
died in an avalanche.
So...sorry to end on a downer.
But on that note,
I think we can move on to our final movie
of the "Joe Bob's Red Christmas" triple feature,
"Silent Night, Deadly Night 2."
And I'll explain why it's 2 and not the original in a minute,
but not before Darcy the Mail Girl joins us.
Thanks, Darcy, for taking time --
Oh, my God. You are a snowman.
No, you're not. You're a snow-- Oh!
I'm a man. You're a snowtran.
There you go.
Thanks for taking time out of what I'm sure is
intense preparation and rehearsal
for the moment later tonight when you will be
impaled on reindeer antlers.
You are enjoying this way too much.
I'm loving this, but I'm also loving this new feature
that we're introducing tonight.
Yay!This will be a regular part
of our "Last Drive-In" double-feature season in 2020.
And that is...
The Silver Bolo Award.Yeah?
It's an actual silver bolo tie
that will be given to the winner each and every week.
And what do you have to do to win the silver bolo?
The Silver Bolo is awarded for excellence in horror media.
It's our way of giving recognition to horror blogs,
horror podcasts, YouTube channels, horror sites, whatever
that don't get the recognition that they deserve.
And you're the perfect person to do that
because you read all that stuff, you listen
to the podcasts, you keep up with it.
Well, not all of it. I rely on the mutant family
to let me know who's out there and doing really good work.
Okay, well, before you award the first silver bolo,
I want to point out you're a horror blogger yourself,
'cause you've been publishing Kinky Horror,
kinkyhorror.com,
since how long have you been doing that?
Maybe seven years now?
Okay. As far as I know, you're still the only blog
that reviews horror porn, which was a genre
I didn't know existed until you introduced me to classics
like "The Texas Vibrator Massacre,"
"The Hills Have Thighs"...
-I was supposed to be in that. -"Halloween --"
You were supposed to be in that? Is that what you said?
-Yeah, I really was. -Oh, my God.
"Halloween Triple X," "Wet Dream on Elm Street"...
So good. For real.
...and my personal favorite, "Skanknado."
-Also good. -Who made "Skanknado"?
Steve Matthews.
You know the director of "Skanknado"?!
[Laughs]
Actually, my favorite of all is "Evil Head,"
which I highly recommend."Evil Head"?
Yes. "Evil Dead" parody, shock, but it's amazing, so good.
All right. I mean, that's not the main
thing you do on Kinky Horror. You have everything on there.
Yeah. I started Kinky Horror
because I was an adult performer,
and whenever I'd talk about horror online,
I'd always get comments like, "Yeah, that's cool and all,
but show us your ass."
So I made a site to make sure that people knew it was
separate from all the other stuff.
So it's not just for porn fans.
It's for people who cared about horror,
and if you're also a porn fan, cool,
but it's a place for horror.
Ladies and gentlemen, I can attest
that Darcy has some writing chops.
Aw, thank you.
Okay, we're going on to the silver bolo.
Do we have the actual silver bolo here?
We do.
Yuki. Here.
All right, thanks.
Yeah, okay, good.
Yeah, it's got a Lone Star there on it.
Looks like it's made of actual silver.
Is it made of actual silver, Yuki?
Yuki: It will be!
[Laughs] Yay, thank you, Yuki.
All right, thanks, Yuki.
All righty, so,
the very first ever "Last Drive-In"
Silver Bolo Award goes to...
Dinosaur Dracula!
You talk about that guy all the time -- Dinosaur Dracula.
I love him.
He has a web site that covers vintage action figures,
junk food, roadside attractions,
monsters, horror movies, wrestling -- lots of wrasslin'.
Okay. I love it.
His motto is that he celebrates the sheer joy of trivial things,
and he's been around for a really long time.
He also hosts the Purple Stuff podcast
with Jay from The Sexy Armpit.
The Sexy Armpit? Yes.
That's another pop culture web site.
All right, well, high praise for the very first recipient
of the Silver Bolo.
All right, we are just moments away
from the final movie in our "Red Christmas" trilogy,
and it's good that we're showing this
'cause you can sort of brush up on exactly
what you need to do to emulate the famous Linnea Quigley scene
in "Silent Night, Deadly Night."
I don't need any brushups.
Okay, well, that's a major bra to fill, Linnea Quigley.
She wasn't wearing a bra.
Indeed she was not, but we're headed for trouble here,
I can already tell.
I wish I knew some Christmas jokes.
I actually only know one Christmas joke and it's dirty.
So... Please tell it then.
No, I want to tell you the one about the pig, okay?
Okay.
Man walks into a bar with a pig.
Bartender says, "That's a great-looking pig,
but why does he have a wooden leg?"
And the man says, "Well, let me tell you about this pig.
He's one special pig.
One night, my house was on fire, and this pig dragged
me to safety, saved my life."
And the bartender says, "Wow, that's great.
But why does he have that wooden leg?"
The man says, "Let me tell you something else about this pig.
He's very special.
One time, I was out sailing, and the boat capsized,
and the pig swam me to safety, saved my life."
The bartender says, "That's really terrific,
but why the wooden leg?" The man says, "Let me tell you
one more thing about this special pig.
Last week, during an earthquake, my house collapsed,
and my pig pulled me out, saved my life."
So, finally, the bartender says,
"Okay, I get it, it's a special pig.
He saved you from a fire, an earthquake,
and from drowning, but why does he have a wooden leg?"
The man says, "When you have a pig this special,
you can't eat him all at once."
Wow. That was --
That was bad. Tell the dirty one.
What do a Christmas tree and a priest have in common?
What?
The balls are just for decoration.
[Laughter]I like that one better.
Should have stopped at the pig, you know.
I like that one.
You goaded me into doing that one.
