Christmas Horror Movies to Stream Now

'Tis the season for some killer holiday horror movies! I love browsing streaming services this time of year for seasonal horror flicks, and this year we have quite a few to choose from on Hulu, Shudder, Amazon Prime, and Netflix. Below I've rounded up some that are available on these streaming platforms now or are coming soon to stream. Don't have these streaming services or prefer physical media? No problem, as I've included links to each film's Amazon when possible.

There are some pretty creepy photos of Santa Claus all over the internet, from eerie vintage photographs to awkward mall Santas, but the scariest Santas to me are the blood-drenched, gore-covered zombie Santas who are out for your brains instead of milk and cookies!

So in honor of the 10th day of Creepmas, here are 10 awesomely scary zombie Santas:

13 Days of Creepmas: More Ugly Creepmas Sweaters

MOB's Creepmas sweaters!

A few years back, I featured some ugly Christmas sweaters that were perfect for Creepmas creeps...and since then scary/creepy/alternative Christmas sweaters have really become all the rage! There are lots of different ugly Creepmas sweaters out there, but I found one company that seemed to have the absolute coolest ones for creeps like us.

13 Days of Creepmas: 7 Macabre Books to Add to Your Creepmas Wish List

Looking for some unusual, strange, and macabre books this Christmas? I hope you are, because I have hand-picked some that are sure to send shivers down the spines of their lucky readers!

13 Days of Creepmas: Ways to Keep the Spooky Spirit Alive Through the Rest of the Holidays

Santa will eat your soul

Well fiends, today is the last day of our 13 Days of Creepmas, but fear not! You can keep the Creepmas spirit alive all through the Hallowdays by following some simple suggestions I've made below.

A Zombie Christmas

I always enjoy the 13 Days of Creepmas, but the spooky kid in me just can’t resist adding gothic flourishes to food, decor, music and movies the entire holiday season. Here are a few things to make this merry season a bit more creepy:

Xmas Chainsaw Massacre 

(not real, but I wish it was!)

• Watch horror movies set during Christmas and/or the holidays. There are a ton (Black Christmas, Christmas Evil, Inside, Santa's Slay, etc., etc.) so finding some shouldn't be an issue (you can check last year’s lists for my top 20 favorite horror-days movies - #20-11 and #10-1). Added bonus - many are streaming on Netflix Instant!

• I also like to watch horror movies set during winter-time in general (like The Thing, Wendigo, Dead Snow, Ravenous...plus tons more!). We don't get snow where I live, so I have to live vicariously through the winter landscapes in films and what better way to do that than with wintery horror movies?!

• Use Halloween decorations on your Creepmas tree and to deck your halls – need inspiration? Check out my post on Creepmas trees here.

• Listen to some gothic Christmas music, like these suggestions from last year!

• No Creepmas would be complete without a viewing of The Nightmare Before Christmas!

Gingerdead cookies

• Bake gingerdead cookies! There is a cookie cutter to make these, but you could also just make regular gingerbread men (check out an awesome vegan recipe here!) and rip off arms, legs and heads to make them all zombified! You could also try making Jack Skellington’s Sandy Claws cookies. 

• Browse the other Creepmas blogs! You can find participants on Creepmas.com, browse their blogs and get inspired to carry on the Creepmas tradition the remainder of the Hallowdays.

• Visit my Pinterest board for more Creepmas inspiration!

Hope you enjoyed the 13 Days of Creepmas! Wishing you ghoultide greetings and a spooky new year!

13 Days of Creepmas: Jack Skellington's Sandy Claws Cookies

Just lookit how cute these Sandy Claws cookies are! If you are a lover of Nightmare Before Christmas like I am, you will no doubt want to try making these creepy-cute cookies for yourself. And the recipe is super-easy (and can totally be made vegan)! 

You can find the recipe HERE!

13 Days of Creepmas: The Scariest Santas from Horror Movies

Last year I gave you my 20 favorite holiday horror movies (check 'em  out - #20-11 and #10-1), and (surprise, surprise) many of them feature a bad Santa Claus in the role of the the villain. So, this year I wanted to share with you the baddest and the scariest Santas from horror movies!

Check out the creepiest, evilest Santa Clauses (or characters who dressed up as them) from the films below:

 "And All Through the House" from 1972's Tales from the Crypt

 "And All Through the House" from 1989's Tales from the Crypt

Santa Claus - ok, this isn't a horror movie and Santa is more odd
than scary, but, this whole weird 1950's movie is creepy!
