Hello, my friends, and welcome to season 7, episode 16 of Horror Hill. I’m your host, Erik Peabody, and tonight’s episode brings us something a little different. We spend a lot of time on this show taking a look at supernatural horrors. Ghoulies, and beasties, and things that go bump in the night. For my money, though, some of the most terrifying tales are about actual horrors that you and I might encounter in our day-to-day lives. I’m not talking about getting mugged or stalked or anything overt like that, but about something more… insidious. Quiet, calculating practices to shape the mind of a person, a group, and maybe even a society. Tonight’s story, “Secret Santa,” provides one extreme take on just that. Make sure you’re bundled up with a steaming mug of something nice, because this one gets chilly, friends. *Sniff, sniff* Do I smell peppermint?
