Stephen King's Dark Tower cycle is -- not to put too fine a point on it -- probably the most important book series Blake and Erin have ever read.

To prepare for it, Blake and Erin spent a week watching and reviewing the first six Star Wars movies one-by-one, before finally finishing up with a massive spoiler-rich analysis of The Force Awakens.

The lights are glowing, the chestnuts are roasting, and the demonic spirit of vengeance has arrived to wreak destruction upon those who don't respect the spirit of the season. This week, Blake and Erin take a look at writer/director Michael Dougherty's new yuletide horror movie Krampus. Is it a worthy addition to the canon of Christmas terror?
