35 Holiday Horror Movies That Are Perfect For a Bloody Good Christmas

Adam Scott, Toni Collette, and Allison Tolman star in Krampus, the tale of a young boy who accidentally summons a demon on Christmas. It's funny, but if you know about the real legend, it'll also make you jump. The ancient Christmas demon — yes, sounds like an oxymoron, but alas — has horns, hooves, black hair, fangs, and a long, pointed tongue. Legend says he swats naughty children with a bundle of birch branches. However, the Krampus in this film is here to do a little more than swipe at bad children. Because the Christmas spirit has vanished from thought, Krampus arrives to take everyone to the underworld.
