Stephen King’s ‘Maximum Overdrive’ Is a Christmas Movie [The Losers’ Club Podcast]

Fifty years ago, Bob Clark‘s Black Christmas hit theaters in America.

After years of teasing, the Halloweenies finally head to the Pi Kappa Sigma to discuss the 1974 holiday slasher. Together, they weigh in on the oft-ignored history behind the screenplay, the unique shooting style employed by Albert J. Dunk, Clark’s prescient characters that cling to reality, and the mystery behind the man on the phone.
