The Christmas period is a special time for horror fans as it gives us the chance to revisit some of favourite holiday horror films from throughout the years. The release of KRAMPUS and A CHRISTMAS HORROR STORY this year have put the Christmas horror movie back on the map in a spectacular way, but classics such as Bob Clarke’s BLACK CHRISTMAS and Joe Dante’s GREMLINS – along with the other classics – will be celebrated once again as this time of year calls for it. However, as good as those movies are, there are some unappreciated gems out there that deserve to be watched alongside them. This list focuses those movies that have been overlooked or forgotten, and hopefully it’ll inspire those of you who haven’t seen them to check them out this Yuletide season.

What are some of your favourite Christmas-themed horror movies? Is there anything missing from the list you feel should have been included? If so, feel free to drop a comment.
