Stories for Halloween, Vol 1, Part 3 The Goblins Who Stole a Sexton by Charles Dickens.
Happy Halloween! The final story in our trilogy of terror and weirdness comes from Charles Dickens. Gabriel Grub is a mean old sexton, and we find him digging a grave late on Christmas Eve. What could possibly go wrong?
This has been a fun way to celebrate Halloween during quarantine, and also to read some classic scary Christmas stories. I’ll have a new regular episode out on Monday! Stay safe, and eat lots of candy for me tonight.
Episode Music:
“Tiptoes” by Aaron Kenny
“Remembering Her”, “Piano Journey” by Esther Abrami

It’s Episode 16 of The Total Christmas Podcast and this show is packed to the rafters.
We have the worst present ever. It’s a secret Santa gift, and this secret Santa should be thoroughly ashamed of himself.
The perfect gift idea is a personalised wine, beer or coffee glass. There’s an endless selection and it’ll probably break within a year so you can buy them the same gift next year. It’s the gift you keep giving.
Thanks to a listener suggestion, this episode I give a list of plants that will flower around Christmas time and make for the perfect decorations in and outside your house.
Then Benji Pearson shares his story of shame.
The version of A Christmas Carol we look at was from an episode of A Shower of Stars. It stars Frederic March as Scrooge and Basil Rathbone as Jacob Marley, and it’s not the best. If you want to watch it, here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih5NNa6PEvA&list=RDXT0Rzy5Op2Q&index=11
The Yule Lad of the week is called Sausage Swiper. The name pretty much says it all.
The recommendation is Totally Rad Christmas. A podcast hosted by friend of the show Gerry D. Each episode he and a guest look at the things that made Christmas in the 80s so rad. Whether it’s a film, TV show, toy or song +it’s loads of fun and I was the guest on episode 32. Here’s a link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/840331

Krampus. Seems like I should have done a show on Krampus years ago, but I was waiting for the right person. And that person is Al Ridenour, author of The Krampus and the Old, Dark Christmas: Roots and Rebirth of the Folkloric Devil. This is the definitive book on Krampus, and Al fills us in on all the history and celebrations we could want.

In this special bonus episode for Halloween, TGI Podcast dives into Tim Allen and Home Improvement. ‘The Haunting of Taylor House’ offers up nonstop action, plenty of jokes and a severed head! If you love 90s sitcoms and Halloween then this episode is for you. Settle in to find out if it gets a “You got it dude!” or a “No way, Jose!” in the rankings!
In addition to discussing the Home Improvement episode, TGI Podcast also discusses a special project that combines punk rock music and A Christmas Story from Mike of the ‘Snow in Southtown’ podcast. Mike’s music project is called Ralphie’s Red Ryders and they have an album coming out based all around A Christmas Story called “You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out!” The CD will release on November 1 via Outloud Records and it will have a digital/streaming release on Black Friday.

Enjoy this classic Christmas story that has a dash of Halloween. Every year Santa brings toys to all the good girls and boys of the world. He is beloved by many. But there are a few who would love to see Santa fall…
Who would be nasty enough to want to see Santa gone? Say hello to the Daemons of Selfishness, Envy, Hatred, Malice, and Repentance. Santa better watch out!

We had such a fun time with our guest and favorite witch, Laurie Alan “Ali” Browne. Holli and Ali fill Scarlett in on what she’s missed and Scarlett decides if she would like to see the movie in the future. Ali teaches us about the difference between witchcraft and Wicca. She also teaches us the origins of flying on a broom and eye of newt. We learn so much about real witches and have a great time debunking the LIES in this movie.
Here are ways to check out Ali’s work and support small business:

Chris & Kris have a real treat for you. They’ve partnered up with Gerry D. from Totally Rad Christmas for a crossover of ghostly proportions. In this episode, Chris & Kris and Gerry take a deep, slightly nitpicky look at the 1989 classic Ghostbusters 2. They talk about the filming locations, glaring geographical errors, deleted scenes, and abandoned storylines. If that’s not enough, head over to Totally Rad Christmas after to listen to the companion episode where our hosts chat with Gerry about their memories, feelings, and overall nostalgia of this classic film.
There’s some really fun stuff planned for the rest of the year so subscribe now so you don’t miss an episode.

Cozy Christmas Podcast Presents a Special Presentation!
In the first of three special episodes for Halloween week, I read the classic 1829 ghost story “The Tapestried Chamber” by Sir Walter Scott.
“When General Browne’s friend invites him to spend the week at his home, he’s delighted to oblige—that is, until he spends a night in the tapestried chamber!”
We invite you to sit back, relax, and turn down the lights… and enjoy this story for Halloween!
