There’s no better way to celebrate a winter wonderland than listening to “The Snowman Killing” from Fear on Four! This intense tale of suburban horror features a chilling performance by Imelda Staunton. (And at no point in the discussion afterwards do we identify her as the actress who played Dolores Jane Umbridge in the Harry Potter films!) Is this mother of twins truly facing some supernatural disturbance or is she just married to a yuppie? Why are her children obsessed with a snowman that doesn’t seem to really exist? Does Eric own the DVD of Schindler’s List? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

Agree with Eric. Like Vera Drake (also starring Imelda Staunton), I don’t need to hear this again
I just listened to this and I’m afraid I don’t get it. Can anyone explain the ending?
SPOILERS AHEAD
Okay, I get that it wound up being the bullying creep Colin inside the snowman, but why?!? Everything we’ve heard points to Colin being a nightmare child and Alex a terrified kid who just wants to go inside. Suddenly the roles reverse, but why and how? What am I supposed to think happened here? It just seems like a twist for its own sake.
Also, little Colin being dead seems like a win-win.
This! This is awesome. Couldn’t have done it better, but as a person without kids I could definitely listen to this again. It doesn’t have the ‘reality’ that might make it disconcerting for parents. 4 out of 4.
