The Advent Calendar - S5 E15

About this episode

Eryka and Jackie discuss the horror film The Advent Calendar and review the year's horror movies while looking ahead to future releases.

This week on the Horror Café Podcast , Eryka and Jackie unwrap the dark holiday nightmare known as The Advent Calendar — because nothing says festive cheer like a cursed calendar that slowly ruins your life. We’re talking wishes with consequences, doors you absolutely should not open, and a countdown where every day brings something worse than the last. Sure, it starts out like “wow, free miracles,” but it very quickly turns into “oh no, this calendar has an agenda.” Plus , we’re breaking down this year’s winning and losing Cups of Horror movies , looking back at what thrilled us, what disappointed us, and what totally surprised us — and then peeking ahead at what’s coming in horror for 2026 . And yes… there’s a whole lot more chaos, opinions, and caffeine-fueled horror talk along the way. ☕👻 New episode is out now — press play before midnight. Join us on Discord!
