Show Notes
The Fear Archive is a true crime and horror film podcast — every episode pairs a real case with the horror film it inspired. Following this intro is our Black Christmas episode, currently our top performing episode, approaching half a million listens.
A traumatized woman returns to a place she escaped. Something wrong is already living there. It has been there the whole time. If you are deep enough into The Elmwood Strain to understand what Paige walked back into, you are going to understand exactly what those girls in that sorority house were up against.
Black Christmas, 1974. The film that wrote the rulebook for killer-in-the-house horror, four years before Halloween. A man who hid himself inside a sorority house before the movie started. He was already in the attic. Already watching. He was never identified. The case was never solved.
Hosted by Amanda Kagiwada and Michael Ryan Assip. Introduced by Amanda Kagiwada and Michael Ryan Assip. Executive produced by Cassie Jozefov. A Violet Hour Media production.
LISTENER WARNING: This episode contains discussion of murder, violence, and the specific dread of a killer who was never caught.
