Holiday Horror Marathon

Does anyone else do a holiday horror marathon around Christmas? I did last year and would like to again this year but I've been having some difficulties finding certain movies. If you are, what are you watching? What are your favorites? What would you recommend people skip?

Apologies if this topic has already been discussed.

Not a marathon per-say but I do try and watch at least two holiday horror movies in a row. Last year I tried it but it didn't work out. This year, I'm definitely going to watch Silent Night, Deadly Night and either Gremlins or Black Christmas.

My fave besides the above:-

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010) which I discovered thanks to The Villain last year.

But I also like the Xmas scenes in-

Mum and Dad (2008)
Bloodbath At The House Of Death (1984)
Tales From The Crypt (1972)

But my personal favourite christmas short films are the BBC Ghost Stories For Christmas:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Ghost..._for_Christmas

My faves being A Warning To The Curious, The Signalman, Lost Hearts and A View From A Hill.
Hoping this year to finally see Stigma and The Ice House the only ones I hadn't seen.

You covered all the important ones here. I already watched SNDN yesterday, and I'll be making time to watch Gremlins and Black Christmas as well. I do it every year.
