Christmas themed Horror Movies?

[trx1]

for the CHRISTMAS horror list...list all u know.

[VampiricClown]

Silent Night, Bloody Night

Christmas Evil

Gremlins

Silent Night, Deadly Night

Black Christmas

Just getting ya'll started. ;)

[Roderick Usher]

Profondo Rosso starts with a Christmas scene

[Doc Faustus]

Don't Open Til Christmas is pretty cool. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is also a classic. Can't go wrong with that one

[joshaube]

Santa's Slay is one that hasn't been mentioned, which I'd recommend for fans of cheese. And with Christmas themed horror, what else is there? (Minus the excellent Black Christmas...)

While not horror related, another great Christmas-ish cheese film is The Hebrew Hammer.

Santa's Slay was a decent movie actually. It was corny, but come on, who can't enjoy seeing people getting slaughtered to Christmas music!?

[ManchestrMorgue]

Tales from the Crypt (the Amicus anthology) has one of its stories set at Christmas (the one with Joan Collins in it).

[Yellow Jacket]

Santa's Slay was a decent movie actually. It was corny, but come on, who can't enjoy seeing people getting slaughtered to Christmas music!?

I too enjoyed Santa's Slay. It was corny as hell, but I had fun. I mean, how can you not have fun watching Bill Goldberg killing Fran Drescher?

As for a christmas horror movie, Jack Frost has yet to be mentioned.

[Disease]

The Nightmare before Christmas.....

I'm going to see it in 3D on Friday night.

Oooh, I have to see this! I have heard good things.

[VampiricClown]

Oooh, I have to see this! I have heard good things.

You really should. I haven't seen to many movies in recent memory that were this fun. Especially as far as holiday movies go.

[The Mothman]

i thought santa's slay was tons of fun. threw a whole bunch of offensive humor in there too.
has anyone seen Jack Frost 2?

[ChronoGrl]

The Nightmare before Christmas.....

I'm going to see it in 3D on Friday night.

Ooo, Good call... Can I come?

Possibly one of my favorite Christmas movies, by far.

Other Christmas horror movies:

Black Christmas. Honestly, I've only seen the remake, which I thought was decent... I'm Netflixing the original as I type.

...

I second Gremlins (I love the speech that she makes)...


The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God. It was so horrible. It was Christmas Eve. I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn't home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That's when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He'd been climbing down the chimney... his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus.

...

BRILLIANT.

...

And I think the original Die Hard deserves a mention, though not horror per say, it IS an atypical Christmas movie.

...

I tried to Netflix Silent Night, Deadly Night, but it doesn't seem to be in the database. :mad:

[crabapple]

"Santa's Slay" actually had some redeeming things about it. Fun, light pseudo-horror entertainment.

[ManchestrMorgue]

The original is a great film. You won't regret it.

[VampiricClown]

has anyone seen Jack Frost 2?

I have it, but haven't watched it.

[Disease]

Damn it!

Gremlins is on early Saturday night and I have to work.....

[crabapple]

Yes, definitely.......Die Hard certainly deserves a mention here because technically, it is a Christmas film. Not your usual one, certainly!

It would be a very twisted thing to watch on Christmas day. I generally watch a George Romero zombie flick, myself. It's tradition.

[jenna26]

I tried to Netflix Silent Night, Deadly Night, but it doesn't seem to be in the database. :mad:

I know.....I've been meaning to watch it forever, and finally got around to trying to add it, not there. :mad: And yes, definitely watch the original Black Christmas as soon as possible. A damn fine horror film. The remake is shameful, shameful I say! Haha....;)

Oh and we had lots of fun with Santa's Slay as well, just watched it a few weeks ago.

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

haha I always watch die hard around christmas. It's one of the only movies that involved an exploding helicopter that I actually like, Bruce Willis > .

[Yellow Jacket]

For all of those who want to see Silent Night, Deadly Night, go to filmhill.com. They have tons of movies to watch there (I watched Bad Taste and Dr. Giggles on that site). I have seen SNDN, but years ago when my local blockbuster had a copy to rent. Just thought I could help.

[Jax]

My top 7:

1. Black Christmas (1974)
2. Gremlins
3. Silent Night Deadly Night
4. Christmas Evil (a.k.a. You Better Watch Out).
5. Night of the Comet
6. Tales from the Crypt (1972)

[joshaube]

You got number one right.

[SodaGirl]

I am wondering what the best Christmas or winter themed horror movies are. I love Christmas and I love horror, but I'm just not sure what's out there.

Thanks so much!

(I am sure there have been threads on this and I did try searching, but didn't find any)

[Doc Faustus]

I like Don't Open Til Christmas. I found Silent Night, Deadly Night disappointing and unfun.

[Ferox13]

Christmas Evil is really great..

Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 is amazingly stupidly great.....

I love the Tales from the Crypt with the Psycho and the Santa Suit..

Gremlins one is set at Xmas too..

and lots of stuff like:

No way. I love that flick its a trash classic and the sequel is funny as shit.

[nightmare_of _death]

Black Christmas(1974) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071222/

[thegrouchsmom]

This movie is surprisingly humorous......if that's what you are looking for in your Christmas horror.....

[Elvis_Christ]

Penance has a great scene of Christmas joy by the ol' Yule tree.

I wish it had more of a sense of humor. I thought it took itself way too seriously. I like the premise, I like the kills, but I wish it had been a bit lighter.

[Elvis_Christ]

I don't know if I'd say it took itself way too seriously. I think its intent was to be nasty and over the top (something I love about 80s slashers). Did you see the shitstorm it caused upon release in the doco Going To Pieces?

[Elvis_Christ]

i7gIpuIVE3k

Classic! :D

[ChronoGrl]

Black Christmas(1974) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071222/

YES.

Hands down my favorite slasher. Ever.

Night of the Comet sorta counts, though it's more New Year's Themed... One of my favorite zombie movies.

There's always Gremlins and Nightmare Before Christmas.

[AmericanIdiot]

There is a christmas celebration in the film Mum and Dad.

[Ferox13]

There is a christmas celebration in the film Mum and Dad.

Haha - good call...

I was trying to get my GF to hold CHristmas DAy celebrations randomly after watching that film..

[trx1]

santas SLAY!

[TheSneak]

I'm looking to watch some X-Mas related movies, but the only ones I can think to watch are Santa's Slay and Jack Frost. I'm looking more for slashers, than anything else. Also, which movies should be avoided?

[hammerfan]

Don't open til Christmas is a decent old school slasher. Christmas Evil though not a slasher is fucking great and you should watch if you have never seen it before.

I have this for the season:

Thanks a bunch!! I'll definitely check some of these out. Much appreciated.

[zombiegummiebear]

Both the original and remake of Black Christmas were good I just rewatched the remake. Other than that all I've watched is Jack Frost which is so bad it's hilarious. Classic travesty.

[The Villain]

I really like Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale

[knife_fight]

No one has mentioned "Elves", starring B-movie icon Dan Haggerty.

[The Villain]

I've been trying to find that for awhile

[hammerfan]

I really like Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale

Yes!! Great movie!

[fortunato]

Ferox, I always meant to ask: you take orders on those?

[The Villain]

Yes!! Great movie!

Love that movie. Definitely planning on watching this year and i finally found a couple of Elves which i plan on watching.

Never heard of Elves. I'll have to see if Netflix has it.

-Sint (aka Saint)
It's about Saint Nicholas. He's one of the sources of the Santa Clause origin.
But over here in Belgium and also in Holland it's The Sint, short for Sinterklaas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinterklaas
To make things a little interesting if you don't know him,
the guy dresses likes the pope, rides a white horse over snowy rooftops, has a long metal cane and small minions that can go through chimneys.
And in the movie he's evil ofcourse.
Good story, nice settings and sceneries, decent special effects, right amount of blood and overal entertaining enough.

-El Dia De La Bestia (aka The Day Of The Beast)
Not really Christmas themed by it's set during Christmas eve.
A bit weird but entertaining enough.
"A basque priest finds out that the anti-christ is going to be born on Christmas day in Madrid. Helped by a heavy-metal fan and a tv-host, he will try to invoke the devil by committing as many sins as possible to find out the place of birth and kill the baby."

My other favorites that are already mentioned:
-Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale
-Black Christmas
-Gremlins
-Silent Night (2012)
-Silent Night, Deadly Night
-Christmas Evil
-Jack Frost (The Killer Snowman)
-Santa's Slay

[Khaleesi]

Uh, let’s see, the first two that came to mind were Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut” and the Paul Bettany flick “Legion”. Both are set during Christmas, but are not really holiday-centric, if that’s what you’re looking for.

And oh, I almost forgot, there’s a New French Extremity film named Sheitan which takes place on Christmas Eve. It is a pretty warped film, but there is a curious shot of Vinny Cassel in drag. ;)

[MichaelMyers]

Love that movie. Definitely planning on watching this year and i finally found a couple of Elves which i plan on watching.

Dude, so gross.

[The Villain]

Dude, so gross.

We all celebrate in different ways ::big grin::
