Top 10 Christmas Horror Movies Pt. 1
Greetings once again to my fellow horror/paranormal readers! It's time for another blog and in the spirit of the holidays, I thought I would add a list of the top 10 Christmas horror movies that I found online (they are either Christmas themed or relate to Christmas in some form)... We all know Christmas is about the birth of our Savior, gift giving, spending time with our loved ones, Santa Claus, and now horror themed Christmas cinema. So in honor of this here is part 1 of infamous Christmas horror movies that are sure to horrify, revolt, frighten, and shock you for a very scary little Christmas... enjoy!
10. To All A Good Night (1980)
It's Christmas break at the Calvin Finishing School For Girls and the students are planning a big party while the president of the school is away. A group of boys show up and the fun begins! That is until a mysterious serial killer starts bumping off couples one by one. The police show up and promise to keep everyone safe, but they prove ineffectual against the crazed psycho killer. Could the killings have anything to do with the girl who was killed in an initiation stunt at the school a few years earlier?
9. Silent Night, Bloody Night (1974)
Wilford Butler returns home on Christmas Eve and his house has been turned into a mental institution for the criminally insane. But on the day of his return, he is purposely set on fire and dies. The town's people believe his death was an accident and the institution is later closed down. Wilford later leaves the house to his grandson, Jeffrey, in his will. A few years after, Jeffrey decides to sell the house and the town's people have mixed feelings on keeping people away from the house especially a serial killer who escapes from another institution and seeks refuge in the house. The killer makes frightening phone calls and kills anybody who comes near the house.
But what does the killer have in common with what happened to Wilford
Butler years before?
