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

This 1984 slasher film has spawned several sequels, and it's the inspiration for 2012's Silent Night. The movie features a young boy whose parents are murdered by a man in a Santa suit. Afterward, he's sent to a Catholic orphanage, where he grows up, never quite recovering from what happened. Needless to say, the trauma changes him forever, and when he becomes an adult, he goes on a killing spree of his own. But who's the person at the top of his list? The killer who took out his parents, of course. To really satisfy his vengeance, he dons a Santa suit to wreak holiday havoc.
