I have had Guillotine by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social on my TBR stack since it was released. I picked it up last week and devoured it over the weekend. A quick, bloody, and brutal read. It's cathartic for these times.

I want to like Robert Zemeckis' A Christmas Carol more. It's got an epic feel, great score, and a pretty good adaptation. And while the people aren't Polar Express-level creepy, they're still too uncanny valley to fully enjoy the movie.

Rankin/Bass’s Avengers assembled in theaters in 1979. This movie opens with Rudolph’s shine blipping out of existence, and what happens to Frosty and his whole family is even worse.

Rankin/Bass went delightfully nuts with its last-ever stop-motion Christmas special in 1985, based on L. Frank Baum’s “The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus.”
