Killer Santa Stories & Christmas Slashers

Eight individual stories of holiday pursuit and survival.

The Santa suit can hide an obsessive shopper, a merciless visitor or a machine that has learned the wrong lesson about being good. These eight Weekly Spooky Christmas horror stories focus on killers, pursuit and the struggle to survive familiar holiday places. Begin with the Kmart nightmare of Otis Slays Christmas, then move through a reunion, a snowbound psychiatric ward and a very dangerous ride home. Each selection has its own episode page and Spotify link.
