Gremlins - 1984
A man buys a cute, furry little creature with huge eyes (mogwai) as a Christmas present for his son. The boy is told to keep the pet away from water, out of the light and never to feed it after midnight. Of course, those rules aren't followed! So yeah, the creatures produce half a dozen furry replicas of itself and continue to multiply and turn the small town upside-down.
Black Christmas - 1974
It's time for Christmas break and the sorority sisters make plans for the holiday, but the strange anonymous phone calls are beginning to put them on edge. A missing sorority girl, and dead bodies popping up among other things...! A true classic and a must see for the season!

Jack Frost - 1996
A horror movie involving a killer snow man. Look out!
Christmas Evil (You Better Watch Out) 1980
It's a dark comedic horror but has awesome Christmas horror efforts. It's a story of a boy who loves Christmas but is scarred when he learns that Santa is not real. When he gets older, he becomes a toy-maker and tries to make the Christmas spirit a reality. He becomes obsessed with the behavior of children and the quality of the toys he makes. Fast forward...he's on to become a serial killer.
The Gingerdead Man, starring Gary Busey? Oh wow. I think I might need to find that one. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list, as always, Zena. :) Love Black Christmas, so much. Not to mention, SNDN.
ReplyDeletewow--what a great list of movies! definitely gonna' watch a lot of these. thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list, and will give me a place to go to for new Christmas movies this year, because I haven't seen all of them. I'll have check some of these out.
ReplyDeleteGreat list, I love Black Christmas! Am sitting down to watch some festive guts being spilled this week might need to make room for a few more titles now.
ReplyDeleteGreat holiday suggestions! Question: Was the recent "Black X-Mas" a remake of the "Black Christmas" on your list? Haven't seen either, but will probably watch BOTH this season!
ReplyDeleteA truly horrible holiday horror for me (though not a movie) is Rosie O'Donnell and Elmo singing "Do You Hear What I Hear". Yikes!!!
What a great list. You dug up some great finds. I knew Black Christmas would make the list. That's a classic.
ReplyDeleteI think one of the Child's Play movies was centered around Christmas.
Black Christmas is prob one of my favorite horror films period, Man that To all a good night vhs cover looks so familiar I have to check that out
ReplyDeleteseen a few of them:
ReplyDelete-Silent Night Deadly Night and Gremlins are probably the 2 best xmas-horror-flicks ever made.
There are 4 more SNDN sequels, but apart from Part 2 they all suck.
-To All A Goodnight - boring and tedious.
-Black Christmas - a true horror classic. For whatever reason, I also like the silly remake.
-Santa's Slay - Hilarious!
-Don't Open Till Christmas - stupid but fun!
Yet another killer list Zena, Black Christmas is one of the greatest slashers of all time.
