Editor’s Note: Updated for December 2023

Better Watch Out

Ashley travels to the suburban home of the Lerners to babysit their 12-year-old son, Luke, during the holidays. She must soon defend herself and the young boy when unwelcome intruders announce their arrival.

This is a surprisingly nasty little piece of holiday fun that delivers a fresh take on a classic premise. There is plenty of cringe-worthy gore and enough humor to keep things light. It’s silly and scary in equal measure. A must-watch.

Await Further Instructions

When a strange event traps a family inside their house, increasingly disturbing instructions on TV pull them into a vortex of paranoia and violence.

I love cosmic dread films, and when it’s combined with the holidays, it is a no-brainer. This is a can’t-miss. Admittedly, it is a little slow, though.

Weredeer

Max takes Hannah to the backwoods to spend Christmas with his eclectic family when she’s bitten by a deer and loses herself to the full winter moon.

This is one of those so bad it is good kind of films. A new Christmas horror classic. It’s a must-watch if you are looking for something utterly cheesy and ridiculous. If that isn’t your vibe, skip it.

The Elf

Nick is haunted by night terrors stemming from a tragic murder he saw when he was young. After inheriting an old toy shop, he discovers a cursed elf doll sealed inside an ancient chest with a naughty list of his family’s names written on it. He soon discovers that the elf was an evil conduit meant to unleash a supernatural killing spree during the Christmas Holidays by whoever set it free.

Night Terrors are serious. Elf curses, however, are not. This film is utter nonsense, but you will laugh the whole time. Don’t take it too seriously. Just watch. You could skip it.

A Christmas Carol

The Dickens classic gets its darkest treatment yet when the miserly Scrooge receives the very unwelcome company from three creepy Christmas ghosts.

I’m a sucker for Charles Dickens. This is by no means the most artistic treatment his great work has ever got, but it is fun. If you love A Christmas Carol, this is a must-watch. If not, skip it.

RiffTrax: Jack Frost

As notorious serial killer Jack Frost (Scott MacDonald) is being driven to his execution, the truck carrying the murderer encounters a bizarre accident that transforms him into a mutant snowman. Sheriff Sam Tiler (Christopher Allport), who caught the psychopath originally, has remained concerned about his return, and it seems that his fears were well-founded. Before long, bodies pile up, all killed in gruesome wintry ways. Can the sheriff stop Frost’s icy reign of terror?

It’s not a complete waste of time if you are into the Jack Frost films. There’s a certain Child’s Play campiness that is actually a lot of fun. It’s worth a watch later in your Christmas break.

Jack Frost 2022

A family must unlock the secrets to its dark past to stop Christmas demon Jack Frost from exacting his vengeance on those left in their bloodline.

This is yet another in the long list of Jack Frost movies. This one is marginally better than the original. It’s worth a try if you can’t find anything else.

Black Xmas

While trapped in their house, sorority sisters become the targets of an escaped homicidal maniac who stalks and torments his unsuspecting victims.

Buffy’s Michelle Trachtenberg and Party of Five’s Lacey Chabert are the only draws here. If you love them, load it up; otherwise, it’s a hard pass!

A Christmas Horror Story

Not even Santa Claus is safe from the evil that descends on Bailey Downs, a small town that finds itself suddenly plagued with malevolent spirits.

William Shatner is in it, so you know we got to watch!

Black Christmas

After recovering from a horrific accident, paraplegic Preston Rogers (Matt McCoy) moves back into the remote cabin where he and his now-deceased wife once lived. When one of his new neighbors, Karen (Ashley Hartman), is attacked by a gigantic ape-like beast, Rogers contacts the local authorities. But after the police — and even his personal nurse, Otis Wilhelm (Christien Tinsley) — dismiss Rogers as a delusional widower, he sets out to stop the abominable creature himself.

This is a classic, and the newest remake isn’t half bad, either. The remake takes a decidedly feminist bent that is interesting, but to see where it all began, watch the original. This is a must-see.

Creatures

A class of astronomy students and their teacher on a field trip get more than they bargained for when they witness the crash of an alien spaceship.

It’s B-movie fun but not worth a watch unless you enjoy this kind of campy silliness. Skip it.

Holiday Hell

On Christmas Eve, a woman enters a curiosity shop looking for a last-minute gift. There, she meets a mysterious shopkeeper who tells her the horrific stories behind four objects in the shop. As he weaves tales of killer dolls, witches, and psycho Santas, the woman senses she might be in danger. She has until midnight to choose her gift, but will she choose wisely?

This anthology series rehashes stories that have been told many times before much better. It is not worth your time.

Christmas With Cookie

In 3978, when global warming made the North Pole a desert, Santa Claus battles angry skeletons who didn’t get what they wanted for Christmas.

Run away from this movie!

Christmas With Cookie: Locked Away

In the year 3000, an obnoxiously funny elf has just landed on the moon. He spends his first night eating cookies and reading a story about zombies.

The sequel is even worse than the terrible original.

Amityville Christmas Vacation

Wally wins a trip to Amityville, and his antics lead to a ghost falling in love with him. Can the spirit of Christmas bring them together?

Just no!

Winterskin

A severely injured hunter takes shelter in an isolated cabin that is guarded by a seemingly benevolent older woman.

The timing couldn’t be better, given the recent success of Misery’s Annie Wilkes on Hulu’s Castle Rock. If you like the idea of women who are full-on wackadoo yet vulnerable, load it up. However, this is for fans of Misery only.

Chrismassacre

A group of students decide to have a Secret Santa exchange, but little do they know, a killer is in town and has a murderous present waiting for them.

This is horrible from beginning to end. The acting, the story, and the effects are all laughable. Avoid this like the plague.

Krampus 2: The Devil Returns

Five years after his first encounter with the beast that punishes naughty children, former police officer Jeremy Duffin is called upon to stop the Yuletide monster once and for all.

Pretty much uniformly hated, this is the one film in the franchise that should be forgotten. Skip it.

Dead Snow 2: Red vs Dead

Martin mistakenly thinks things could not get worse after he kills his girlfriend with an ax, cuts off his arm with a chainsaw, and watches his friends be devoured by Nazi zombies.

Who doesn’t love a good zombie flick in the snow? The one-liners are fantastic. “Will you eat my little man pussy?” is just an example of the hilarity you will find in this very hidden gem. This is a must-watch.

Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2

The younger sibling of the teenager who killed while dressed as Santa carries on in his brother’s bloody footsteps.

The original is better. This one is not worth your time. Skip it.

Krampus Unleashed

A group of treasure hunters unearths an ancient summoning stone that awakens a bloodthirsty demon.

This has nothing to do with the original, but the creature work is serviceable. It’s not unwatchable, just not high on my list. If you have nothing better to do with your time.

Krampus: The Christmas Devil

A cop (A.J. Leslie) must find and destroy a yuletide demon who kills naughty children before the creature steals his daughter.

The worst film on this list that should be avoided at all costs. Don’t even watch this ironically. There are some things just too terrible, and this is one of them.

Mother Krampus

Based on the myth of Frau Perchta, a witch comes on the 12 days of Christmas to steal children away by night.

The female Krampus should be avoided at all costs. The movie is bad. The story isn’t terrible, the director just got very lost along the way. Skip it.

Krampus: The Reckoning

Zoe is a strange little child with only one not-so-imaginary friend, who happens to be the terrifying demon companion of St Nicholas, the Krampus. Unleashed upon a small town to punish the naughty people at Christmas time, no one is safe.

It’s not the worst in the franchise, but it’s pretty darn bad. There are plenty of other quality films so only watch if you truly have watched all the other Krampuses.

Silent Night Zombie Night

Before Christmas, a viral outbreak turns the citizens of LA into the walking dead, as an LAPD officer is trapped with his faithless wife and partner.

As far as Christmas Zombie movies go, I guess it could be worse. If you are stuck at home and have watched everything else, this one will waste some time.

A Christmas Slay

What begins as a perfect holiday with old friends in the Scottish Highlands becomes a bloodbath of terror as a Santa-obsessed killer descends on the festivities.

A Christmas Slay is a spoof. It’s a total joke. Watch with that thought in mind, and you will have a decent time. Watch it with other loopy B movies.

The 12 Slays Of Christmas

Stranded in a snowstorm, three women take shelter in a Gothic manor where a sinister old man unleashes a lavish holiday feast and terrifying tales.

Silly and funny, it doesn’t care if it is ridiculous, and there is something refreshing about that. It will kill some holiday time nicely.

Mother Krampus 2: Slay Ride

It’s Christmas time in Cleveland, Ohio, and four young ladies are on the verge of completing their mandatory thirty days of community service. With only one night to go, they are required to make a series of in-home visits to the older and less fortunate. Upon arriving at their final stop for the night, they are introduced to a pleasant older woman who graciously welcomes them into her home for the evening. However, as darkness falls and the cold settles in, they begin to realize that there is far more to their seemingly innocent host than meets the eye.

It’s not scary, not funny, not gory, not even sexy. It’s just bad. Skip it at all costs!

Slay Belles

Santa Claus helps three cosplaying girls after they accidentally unleash Krampus. Together, they have to stop the monster before he can continue his killing spree.

It’s fast-paced and action-packed. The acting is all competent, and it is much better than you think it will be. It’s a happy addition to all the Christmas horror movies on Tubi. This one definitely deserves a chance to be seen.

Red Christmas

A widow and her bickering family gather at her remote estate on Christmas Eve. She must soon protect them all from a hideously deformed killer who’s out for bloody revenge.

What it lacks in scares, it makes up with lots of gore and enthusiasm. Dee Wallace is great, and this movie is certainly not the worst on the list. Watch it later in the break.

The Gingerdead Man

A killer who died in an electric chair comes to life in the form of an adorable yet evil gingerbread man made in the bakery from hell.

This is really terrible. The only reason to watch is a perverse obsession with Gary Busey. Skip it unless you are into Busey, I guess.

Gingerdead Man vs Evil Bong

An evil bong vs an insane living cookie? What can go wrong? It’s a War of the Colossal Freaks when serial killing cookie Gingerdead Man tracks down the lone survivor of his murderous rampage, Sarah Leigh (Robin Sydney), to take care of unfinished business. But his devious plans go up in smoke when Sarah meets Larnell (John Patrick Jordan), who has a pint-sized problem of his own. The Evil Bong, EeBee, has been unleashed once again. Bodies begin to pile up as Gingerdead Man carves a path for them. Their only salvation is to turn to help from the dastardly Bong. It’s one tough cookie versus one bad trip mother when the two Titans of Terror hash out a war in the Bong World. The stakes have never been higher.

Seriously, don’t even consider it.

Gingerdead Man 2: Bakery of Blood

Riotous horror sequel that really takes the biscuit. A failing movie studio brings together a band of misfits who find themselves in the recipe for the Gingerdead Man’s murderous plot to become human.

This sequel is worse than the horrible original. Skip it.

Elves

For a group of friends, finding ancient elves in a chest seems like the perfect way to kick off the holidays… until things take a deadly turn.

This film is not great. About the only thing positive I could say is it would be fine for kids to watch.

Krampus Origins

In 1918, a team of American soldiers discover a mysterious artifact that has the ability to summon the ancient evil spirit of the Krampus.

It’s another Krampus. Skip it unless you have nothing better to do.

Sick For Toys

A man accepts an invitation to Christmas dinner with a woman, unaware that the evening will go horribly wrong and he’ll have to fight for his life.

This is a twisted psychological thriller that is an underappreciated delight. Few people know of it, but it is a must-watch.

Silent Night Deadly Night 3

The Santa Claus Killer is back! A blind woman discovers that she’s psychically connected to the reanimated, Christmas-time serial killer.

Just no.

Silent Night Deadly Night 4

A beautiful reporter investigating a bizarre murder falls prey to a sinister cult she-demons who seek to “initiate” her into their satanic sorority.

Absolutely not!

Silent Night Deadly Night 5

A mother and her son set out to stop a malicious toymaker and his creepy child from terrorizing the residents of a small town with the deadly toys they create.

HELL NO!

Silent Night Zombie Night

Before Christmas, a viral outbreak turns the citizens of LA into the walking dead, as an LAPD officer is trapped with his faithless wife and partner.

There’s a weird charm to this movie. It’s worth a watch.

Axemas 2

It’s been one year since Sarah saw her friends brutally murdered by an axe-wielding Santa Claus, but she’s about to discover that it’s not over.

One was enough. Skip it.

Good Tidings

When three serial killers in Santa Claus costumes target the homeless, a war veteran with a checkered past must revive the buried warrior within him.

This one takes itself a little too seriously for my taste, but it’s not terrible. Worth at least one watch.

Dead Snow

Nazi zombies attack a group of medical students who’ve traveled to a cabin in the mountains for a ski vacation in this chilling, cult-horror comedy.

This is actually a great cult classic. Make sure you are in the right spirit, and you won’t be disappointed.

Axemas

When three couples sneak into a storage facility after hours, they are slowly tormented and picked off by a psychotic, axe-wielding Santa.

Another cheesy horror slasher. It could be worse.

All Through The House

A deranged Santa slayer leaves behind a grisly trail of mutilated bodies as he heads toward the town’s most feared home.

It could be way worse. There’s a nifty ’80s vibe that fans of the era will enjoy. It’s a good addition to a silly night of ridiculous scares.

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale

A young boy named Pietari (Onni Tommila) and his friend Juuso (Ilmari Järvenpää) think a secret mountain drilling project near their home in northern Finland has uncovered the tomb of Santa Claus. However, this a monstrous, evil Santa, much unlike the cheery St. Nick of legend. When Pietari’s father (Jorma Tommila) captures a feral old man (Peeter Jakobi) in his wolf trap, the man may hold the key to why reindeer are being slaughtered and children are disappearing.

This daffy horror/comedy is not even remotely serious cinema, and that’s the genius of it. These foreign scary Santa tales are perfect for a code snowy night in front of the fire. Grab the hot cocoa and enjoy.

The Children

A relaxing Christmas vacation turns into a terrifying fight for survival as the children begin to violently turn on their parents.

If you like creepy kids, and who doesn’t, this holiday treat is decent. This British horror film is heavy on moody scares and packs a better-than-expected punch. Watch it.

Christmas Evil

A toy factory worker, mentally scarred as a child upon learning Santa Claus is not real, suffers a nervous breakdown after being belittled at work and embarks on a Yuletide killing spree.

I actually love this great example of ’80s trash. It’s a little campy and surprisingly a little scary. Watch it before leaving out Santa’s cookies and locking all the doors.

Deathcember

A collection of 24 films that take a look at the dark side of the festive season. 24 international directors with the most diverse ideas and styles; linked by short animated segments that deal with the Advent calendar itself.

This holiday horror anthology is barely worth a glance. The cast is good, but the writing leaves something to be desired. Skip it!

Blood Beat

A young woman accompanies her boyfriend to his family’s rural Wisconsin home for Christmas, where the spirit of a Japanese samurai begins wreaking havoc.

It’s bonkers and like nothing else on this list. It isn’t worth watching more than once, but man, that is one wild ride. Watch it!

Silent Night, Bloody Night

A man inherits a mansion that once was a mental home. He visits the place and begins to investigate some crimes that happened in old times, scaring the people living in the region.

There are cool cameos, an effective eerie score, and more suspense than you expect. This is one film from the ’70s you shouldn’t sleep on.

Silent Night, Bloody Night 2

The mayhem begins on Christmas Eve when siblings staying at a bed and breakfast learn the legend of Santa Claus’ vengeful brother, Black Peter.

The first one is great. The sequel is watchable and better than most, but not nearly as good as the first.

Slayed

Five years after a Christmas Eve massacre in Harris County, Arizona, a crazed killer returns to an impending condemned water-treatment plant to terrorize and kill again. Only this time, the lone survivor from that tragic night is waiting to make this Santa-clad monster pay for what he did.

This is a really well-paced film that is quick and easy to watch. The script is better than expected, and the acting is good. Watch it.

Once Upon A Time At Christmas

When a serial killer couple dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus terrorizes a small town, a teen girl and a young cop must solve the pattern behind the seemingly random homicides.

Really terrible from top to bottom. If you love really horrible movies ironically, then have at it. Otherwise, this is a hard pass.

Christmas Blood

A serial killer who struck for 13 years on Christmas flees solitary confinement to kill again as Christmas nears and a group of friends are at risk.

This foreign film is better than you expect it to be, but the lighting is very dark. The action is pretty hard to see, but the tension is decent.

Krampus: The Return

When Lisa and her friends go looking for answers to her brother’s mysterious death, they discover he is a victim of the infamous Christmas demon.

It’s another Krampus movie. You know what you are getting into, so load it up and get ready to laugh. Watch it.

Jack Frost 2

An evil snowman seeks his revenge on a sheriff vacationing in the Caribbean. Turning the island into an icy nightmare, Jack is on a deadly spree.

It’s just getting ridiculous now. Skip it!

The Killing Tree

A widow casts an ancient spell on Christmas Eve to resurrect her executed husband, but it goes wrong, and he returns as an evil Christmas tree.

I should have hated this movie, but surprisingly, it was fun. It’s a sleeper, but deep into the break, it’s more than serviceable.

Nutcracker Massacre

A visit with her family on Christmas turns terrifying for a novelist when she finds a mysterious Nutcracker doll with a mind and agenda of its own.

This film isn’t scary or funny, but there is one good kill that almost makes it worth your while.

He Knows

Masked killer Sammy the Elf, who knows when you’ve been good or bad, punishes the naughty in a small midwestern town during the holidays.

It’s a cheesefest that is good for a laugh.

13 Slays Till X-Mas

On Christmas Eve, five seemingly random men are invited to a dive bar by a mysterious email. They decide to pass the time by telling scary stories.

Hard Pass!

There is plenty to keep even the most avid couch potato busy this holiday vacation. We did the legwork for you, so sit back, pop some popcorn, and watch some, if not all, the Christmas horror movies on Tubi.
