About this list
Nothing curdles like forced cheer. Christmas hands horror a gift-wrapped contradiction — warmth, family, and generosity laid over the longest, darkest nights of the year — and the genre has always loved to tear the paper off. Killer Santas, pagan devils, and monsters in the snow turn the cosiest holiday into a season of dread. This is a list for horror films set at Christmas, where the lights are merry and something is very wrong.
