Santa’s Slay

Just in case you are wondering, this movie is absolutely nothing like Tim Allen’s The Santa Clause, and paints jolly ‘ol Saint Nicholas in the most horrific light ever. This movie features a demonic Santa Clause who goes on a killing rampage. WWE star Bill Goldberg stars as the demonic Kris Kringle.

Santa’s Slay is a a comedy, a slasher movie, and all around just one of the weirdest scary Christmas movies we’ve ever seen. This is another one you don’t want to watch with kids; the last thing you want is for them to be perpetually frightened of Santa Claus.

In this movie, Santa is the son of Satan (told you it was weird). He throws burning gifts from his sleigh and murders Christmas carolers who annoy him.

He’s not the jolly Santa Claus we all know and love, which is what makes the movie such a fun, cringeworthy watch. It’s not a good movie by any means, but there’s something about it that makes it hard to look away. So if you’re in the mood for true holiday horror, look no further than Santa’s Slay!

You can stream/buy/rent Santa’s Slay on various platforms.
