Christmas: list of 100+ Christmas horror movies

On the occasion of Christmas, the Internet Horror Movie Database (iHORRORdb) has made available the list of 100 horror movies about Christmas and which you can view via this link: Christmas Horror Movies. The site, among other things, features complete fact sheets for each title, accompanied by cast, crew, stills, trailers and posters. Whether they are purely focused on Christmas, Christmas Eve or the vacation season, the films that have been chosen, low budget or not, offer a distorted, unhealthy and violent view of December 25 or the days leading up to that holiday.

There is no shortage of horror comedies and films such as Gremlins, the slasher horror saga Silent Night, Deadly Night or the more classic ones like Black Christmas by Bob Clark and the remake edited by Glen Morgan, or even Tales from the grave (Tales from the Crypt) from 1972. To these are added lesser-known amateur or independent titles, or even films in post-production. The list also collects not only feature and short films but also segments of famous TV series such as Midnight Tales (Tales from the Crypt) in 1989 with the episode "It is through the whole house" and from which the image on the right is taken (Larry Drake as a psychopath disguised as Santa Claus).

They could not miss the various Krampus films such as. Krampus: The Christmas Devil,
Krampus - Christmas is not always Christmas, A Christmas Horror Story, Krampus Unleashed, Mother Krampus, Krampus Origins, Krampus: The Devil Returns And many others.
