The War on Christmas is bloody and mindless this year as Dread Media celebrates its sixth ghoultide!

And of course, Dread Media always delivers on the finest Christmas Carols: "Reggae Christmas Eve in Transylvania" by Count Floyd (aka Joe Flaherty), "Frozen Corpse Stuffed with Holiday Cheer" by Agoraphobic Nosebleed, "Heavy Metal Christmas" by Twisted Sister, "Silent Night" by Christopher Lee, and, of course, "Silent Night, Deadly Night (acoustic)" by The Browns.

Then, in a wild condemnation of role-playing games, Tom Hanks, in his first starring role, overacts his way to Damien and Desmond's hearts as they review Mazes and Monsters.
