10 Delightfully Dark Christmas Movies
Christmastime bears a handful of undisputed trademarks: Hot chocolate. Colorful lights. Bath & Body Works sales. And, of course, holiday movies.
Sure, you've got your standard Christmas cinema fare—Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Elf, A Christmas Story, Home Alone, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, etc.—but what is there for those of us who enjoy a healthy dose of chaos and creeps with our holiday cheer?
Between all the twinkling lights and candy canes and carols, there's nothing quite as wonderful as curling up all cozy in front of the television and putting on a horror movie or a dark comedy this time of year.
From Scrooged to Gremlins to Black Christmas, unwrap some of the creepiest, scariest and darkest holiday movies this side of the North Pole, below.
