Hello everyone and welcome to day 10 of Blogmas! I love a good horror film and thankfully, there are a lot of amazing holiday horror films. Today, I’m going to share my favourites with you.
Disclaimer: I am covering all the holidays in this blog post. I feel if I just mention Christmas horror films in this post, it will be too short. I hope that’s okay!
The Wicker Man – 1973
The Wicker Man is about a policeman who heads to an island in search of a missing girl. It’s a beautiful film that’s eerily creepy and definitely worth a watch. However, I am obviously talking about the original film and not *that* remake starring Nicholas Cage. I do have to admit the bee scene is quite funny though.
Black Christmas – 1974
I adore Black Christmas. Many people have said this is the original slasher alongside Texas Chainsaw Massacre and it’s brilliant. Mysterious, frightening and tense with some brilliant lines, it’s a definite recommendation for you all. The story shows a group of sorority sisters in their sorority house who receive threatening phone calls from an unknown person. They are then stalked and murdered by the same unknown person.
Halloween – 1978
It wouldn’t be a holiday horror film without mentioning Halloween. I think everyone and anyone knows about this film. It’s delightfully scary with some good shots and it’s a perfect film to watch on Halloween night. It tells the story of Michael Myers who has escaped from a sanitarium after 15 years and begins to hunt babysitters.
Trick ‘r Treat – 2007
Trick ‘r Treat is an anthology horror film set on Halloween night. It has 4 Halloween stories with a common element in them, a child called Sam who is a trick-or-treater wearing PJs with a burlap sack over his head. He makes an appearance in each of the stories whenever a character breaks Halloween traditions. It’s quite dark in places and I love it.
Krampus – 2015
Krampus is a really funny and spooky horror film. It has an absolutely brilliant cast and I can’t wait to sit down and watch it this year. Frustrated by the arguments between members of his family, Max loses interest in Christmas, awakening Krampus, a demon who will punish his entire family.
And there you go! I hope you enjoyed this blog post and I shall see you tomorrow!
Love Beth

Great choices, I’m still to watch most of them but have heard that The Wicker Man is particularly good and probably an inspiration for Midsommar!
