Summary: On Christmas Eve in Finland, Santa Claus is unearthed in an archaeological dig. Soon after, children start disappearing, leading a boy and his father to capture Santa and, with the help of fellow hunters, they look to sell him back to the corporation that sponsored the dig. And then there's Santa's elves, who are determined to free their leader...

I Come In Peace is my go-to Christmas sci-fi/ horror. What better way to celebrate our Lord’s birth than watching an alien drug dealer get homeless people high so he can harvest their brain juices?

Santa Claus (the Mexican one) from 1959 is hands down the weirdest Santa film I've ever seen. It doesn't even need the MST3k treatment to be strange.

A few years back there was 'A Christmas Story' that I quite enjoyed. Mostly because it's yet another "Shatner-not-being-Kirk-no-honest-I-mean-it-this-time" fil. But the '74 Black Christmas still has a place on my must see list. Although I do enjoy a recent take on the psycho killer at Xmas theme of 'Mrs.Claus'. After all, there's no reason the killer has to be a guy, now is there?

Hi Dave - The Shatner film that you mentioned was "A Christmas Horror Story" (2015). When I first saw it (on TV), I was completely surprised at how good it was. My advice to everyone who is tired of watching the same old "classic" Christmas horror stories to look this one up. It sets the standard for modern Christmas nightmare tales. Trust me on this.

There was an Australian? kids film in the 80s that was like a predecessor to this. Where a number of clawed Santa’s existed.
