 The Nights Before Christmas 

Despite only just getting over Halloween, we understand the need for a festive fix of horror. After all, there’s only so many times we can watch a cuddly Santa, fluffy reindeer, and cute elves.

And that’s where The Nights Before Christmas comes in. Here, Santa swaps his sack for an axe and even brings along Mrs. Claus for the ride. The FBI are on the case, but the bodies are piling up faster than wrapping paper on Christmas morning. Happy holidays horror fans!
