FALLOUT’s The Ghoul Log Video is the Most Unhinged Holiday Fireplace Video
Just when you thought holiday yule log videos couldn’t get any weirder, Fallout has delivered something that feels aggressively on brand and deeply wrong in the best way.
The Ghoul Log isn’t here to warm your heart or restore your faith in humanity. It’s here to rot it out slowly over 90 oddly soothing minutes. This is a yule log holiday video soaked in wasteland grime, where cheer comes paired with despair, cannibalism, and the comforting crackle of something that absolutely should not be in a fireplace.
The following note came with the video: “This ain't your daddy's holiday special. Join The Ghoul, Wayne Newton, and a burning arm for the most festive 90 minutes of your life.”
The setup is wonderfully unhinged as the Ghoul plays host like it’s the most normal thing in the world, calmly tossing a fat man’s severed arm into the fire with the same energy as lighting a seasonal candle.
Dogmeat hangs nearby as moral support, because someone has to keep things grounded, while Mr. New Vegas croons classic Christmas tunes between listener letters that feel ripped straight from the therapy waiting room.
It’s cozy in the way only Fallout can manage, unsettling, funny, and weirdly relaxing. If you’re tired of snow-covered romances and cookie-cutter specials, The Ghoul Log is a festive nightmare that understands exactly what kind of season this really is.
