- Released in 2005, Santa’s Slay is one of two movies to feature a legendary WWE wrestler playing an atypically musclebound version of Santa Claus. Unlike the risible Hulk Hogan vehicle Santa With Muscles, however, Santa’s Slay is a goofy, R-rated slasher comedy that piles on the bloody kills, gratuitous nudity, and off-color jokes.

2012’s Silent Night is not terrible, but it is the weakest killer Santa movie thanks to the Silent Night Deadly Night remake’s lack of invention and low stakes. A grimy throwback to the dark comic slashers of the early 80s, Silent Night is a loose remake of Silent Night Deadly Night that drops the earlier movie’s slow, deliberate setup in favor of ...
Christmas Evil has the dubious distinction of being the most meditative, thoughtful, and self-serious killer Santa movie ever made. For a good chunk of its runtime, this deliberate character study of a disturbed toy maker who becomes a violent, unhinged vigilante is barely about a killer Santa at all.Christmas Evil is instead a tour de force from a...
2022’s plot-hole-ridden Violent Nightisn’t necessarily a horror movie, but the R-rated action comedy features enough brutal kills to make it an essential addition to the killer Santa Claus cinematic canon. David Harbour stars as that rarest of movie staples, a heroic (but still very much deadly) Santa Claus who helps a wealthy family escape the clu...
An underrated addition to the killer Santa horror canon, 2010’s Sint is a Dutch horror-comedy with a killer hook, literally. Like Violent Night’s version of Santa, Sint’s villain is a legendary warrior, but this time, he’s very much the villain of the piece. Coming to life under a full moon, the zombified, undying Sinterklaas is on a mission to kil...

1984’s Silent Night Deadly Night is one of only two movies featured here that don’t feature the “real” Santa Claus as their killer. As such, it is arguably not a killer Santa movie, but no rundown of the slasher sub-genre would be complete without this legendary trendsetter. As famous for the protests the movie caused as its actual content, Silent ...
2010’s Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale arrived the same year as Sint, but this Finnish action-comedy horror hybrid took the idea of a killer Santa even further than that underrated indie. Here, Santa is reimagined as a slumbering Lovecraftian monster whose return threatens a small Finnish community and, by extension, the world. There is some dark sa...
Released in 1987, Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2 is an infamously silly slasher sequel. The best killer Santa movie is also one of the worst movies ever made, an absurd horror that relies on copious flashbacks to the first movie to pad out its runtime. Fortunately, when Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2 isn’t leaning on highlights from Silent Nigh...

Dec 11, 2015 · Yes, Santa’s Slay is a slasher, but it’s one the whole family can enjoy, preferably while sipping hot chocolate beside a crackling fireplace.
Dec 28, 2017 · It’s 2005, which means the curse is up, and bad boy Santa is back to get some revenge! The rest of the film follows Santa as he attempts to slay Nick and his girlfriend, Mac, played by “Once Upon a Time” star Emilie de Ravin, in one of her earliest roles.
Dec 12, 2015 · To be sure, most Christmas horror movies are cheaply made and exploitative, with tendency toward truly terrifying puns. (Santa's Slay, Slay Belles, Santa Claws, etc.)

Dec 28, 2015 · Film Review: Santa’s Slay (2005) SYNOPSIS: It turns out that instead of being the kind and jolly fat guy that brings us gifts each year on Christmas that we all love Santa Claus is actually pretty much the Antichrist.

After a millennium of spreading Christmas joy due to losing a bet with an angel, Santa Claus reverts to his demonic self and gives the gift of evil and fear.
