Nice episode guys! I had high hopes for Thanksgiving going into it. While I wasn’t disappointed, I did have a couple of things. The beginning reminded me of Krampus and the rest reminded me of Scream. I felt like I’ve seen this Movie before. In terms of a Thanksgiving Horror, this is by far the best. Well made, great kills and it was fun! I know I’ll enjoy it more on second viewing, it will be a buy for me. 8/10

Loved the episode, great way to wrap up the holiday. Great conversation on the film Thanksgiving. Lots of insight that I had missed during my viewing.
