When it comes to Christmas horror movies, nothing gets the holiday spirit flowing like an evil Santa. These films take the jolly Santa we know and turn him into a creepy maniac with an appetite for gore. Instead of spreading cheer, evil Santa spreads fear, slashing his way through snow-covered streets and creeping down chimneys with murderous intent. To turn the most wonderful time of the year into a nightmare, spending time with any of the scariest killer Santa Clauses in horror movies should do the trick.

Some of these holiday horrors have arguably earned a spot among the best horror movies of all time for their unique blend of festivities and brutal violence. With Santa as the ultimate villain, they are packed with blood, chaos, and more than a little holiday madness. For anyone looking to spice up their holiday movie marathon, a murderous Santa Claus is an unexpected must-see.

Silent Bite is the third exercise in seasonal slaughter from writer/actor Simon Phillips, who also gave us Once Upon a Time at Christmas and its sequel The Nights Before Christmas. While they weren’t the greatest examples of the genre, they were far from the worst as well, and they do say the third time is the charm, so I decided to kick off my Christmas viewing with it.

A gang of Santa suited bank robbers, Prancer, Grinch, Father Christmas (Simon Phillips), and Snowman, are hiding out at The Jolly Roger Inn and Resort. Despite its name, it’s a dump in the middle of nowhere, which makes it perfect for them to lie low while Rudolph leads the police on a wild good chase.

I reviewed Once Upon Time At Christmas in 2018 and although it was a decent enough low budget slasher movie, it’s not a movie I was expecting a sequel to appear from. Yet here we are two years later with The Nights Before Christmas.

The synopsis in very simple terms, is basically the same as the first film. Santa Claus (well a guy dressed as him) goes on a killing spree, accompanied by Mrs Claus and being chased by the F.B.I. Being a slasher means that a lot of the enjoyment from this for many will be how entertaining the death scenes are. And in that regard, The Nights Before Christmas does pretty well for itself.
