I know what you're thinking, 1963, a man with X-ray eyes? This has to be completely ridiculous. And sure, there are a few cute scenes. But at its heart is a thought-provoking screenplay, a solid performance from Ray Milland, and a surprisingly effective dramatic turn for Don Rickles as a shady carnival barker. Do not envy X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963)!

We again celebrate Giallo January, with a pair of gialli from 1972. A very restrained Lucio Fulci directorial effort brings us a series of child murders in a small Italian town, where superstition leads to distrust in Don't Torture a Duckling (1972). Our second featured giallo might have you asking, "Who the hell is Solange?" You will find out, eventually, if you can stomach seeing the graphic aftermath of a series of murders involving students from a girls' school in What Have You Done to Solange? (1972).

The tradition of holiday horror continues, with perhaps some lesser-known titles. A group of children discover someone in a Santa suit has fallen into a pit in the forest in Cuento de Navidad (2005).

And finally, isn't it time for Christmas trees to exact vengeance for all of their tree family members who have been chopped down over the years? It's time for Treevenge (2008)!

As an adult, your common sense usually does more to protect you than it did when you were a teenager. But holding a mystical hand, seeing a spirit, and then inviting it into yourself? Hey, I get that there's peer pressure and all, but I really hope that I had seen enough horror movies as a teen to know that would be a terrible idea. And as an adult, there's no way in hell that I'm doing that. But these are teenagers, and they just do things a little differently in Australia, anyway. You'll see what I mean, if you just Talk To Me (2023).
