There are few sub-genres of horror I love more than holiday slashers, and every single year I look forward to revisiting favorites like Silent Night, Deadly Night, Christmas Evil, Black Christmas, and yes, even Santa’s Slay.

When I was a kid there were many things I wanted to be when I grew up: Astronaut, archaeologist, veterinarian, comic book artist, British secret agent, post-apocalyptic wasteland survivor!
