Welcome to more Yuletide fun at the Manor! Since last week we went into American Santa Claus, this week we thought we'd tackle (not literally -- we're not The Kinks playing at a Cheap Trick) England's Father Christmas! Light your pipe and pour a pint and let's get at this wintery excitement!
Next week's episode is our annual last-of-year-episode featuring Iron Maiden, this time concluding our trilogy on The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Welcome back to the Manor! This week, we get into the historical creation of American Santa Claus and how America turned away from its Puritanical antipathy towards Christmas, allowing it to blossom into the winter holiday it's become in the United States. Pour yourself a wassail bowl of mead or a Smoking Druid or some eggnog and enjoy!
Next week's episode is about Father Christmas.

Welcome back to the Manor! This week, the Terrors look at a few websites that give the personality and beer type for astrological signs and we determine if they fit ours or not. Hint: It's not 100% either way. Find your own sign's beer and pour a pint and enjoy with us!

Welcome to a special All Hallows, Samhain, Day of the Dead, Halloween episode! On the 10th anniversary of the passing of Ray Bradbury (2012) and the 50th anniversary of that most excellent of books "The Halloween Tree," here's a short sequel that James wrote, because he's always wanted to know what happened when D for Doom and B for Bones came to collect the year the boys gave Pipkin. He hopes you enjoy it and both of us hope you have a great Halloween tonight!
Next week's episode is about... okay, really this Friday's episode, and it's on harvest monsters.

Happy Halloween to all of you! We hope you enjoy the best and most spooky of holidays this evening, as the sun sets and we go into the dark time of the year (for those of us in the northern hemisphere anyway!).
Just a short episode to wish you spookiness, talk about what we're doing tonight, and then recaps of Nosferatu whose 100th anniversary is this year and of Halloween III whose 40th is this year.
Enjoy a spooky Samhain!
Next week's episode is about spooky harvest beings -- so we're sticking with the spooky a bit as we go into the month of Thanksgiving (at least for us Yanks).
