This Week in Horror History | The Exorcist, The Faculty & Body Snatchers (Dec 22–28)

Step into This Week in Horror History and relive the nightmare fuel of December 22–28: a Christmas-week collision of alien infiltration, true-case exorcism lore, and paranoia-soaked sci-fi horror.
This episode digs into:

Dec 25, 1998 — The Faculty: the ultimate ’90s teen alien horror—teachers acting wrong, bodies getting swapped, and the school turning into a trap.
Dec 22, 1978 — Deep-Cut Spotlight: Invasion of the Body Snatchers: a remake that doesn’t just update the story—it infects it with urban dread, groupthink, and that soul-freezing “everyone’s in on it” feeling.
Dec 26, 1973 — The Exorcist: a cultural shockwave that rewired horror, from possession tropes to the way films build slow-burn dread.
Dec 28, 1957 — The Mysterians: classic retro sci-fi with a giant-robot punch of Cold War weirdness.
Plus: horror birthdays (Blair Witch vibes, scream queens, and silent-era legends), and a weekly recommendation that pairs perfectly with a second “high school is hell” watch.
