Reason #1 That It Rocks: It Flips The Santa Slasher Movie Trope On Its Head

Most X-Mas slasher movies (and there have been quite a few) feature a demented Santa Claus butchering innocent people. This movie decided that was totally passe and instead gives us a demented wacko who kills people dressed as Santa Claus. That is pretty novel when you think about it. Let Jason have his camp counselors and Freddy can have dreaming teens…this guy hates Santa Claus so much that he will kill anyone in a Santa outfit or anyone who is even Santa adjacent for that matter.


Origin story translated: Kid sees dad in a Santa costume schtupping another woman-not his mom-and becomes a Santa killer because he A. grew to hate Santa Claus; or B. was pissed off because he was too young to schtupp mom.
