Christmas Evil
"Classic Holiday horror film. Worth a pickup as this is a great release."
This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray/DVD combo. The limited edition slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) was limited to 2,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.
When he was a boy, Harry idolized Santa Claus, but one Christmas Eve, he witnessed something horrifying that forever shattered his innocent understanding of Santa. Now an adult, Harry wants to embody the pure Santa Claus he grew up loving. He works at a toy factory and keeps records of who's been naughty and nice, but the spirit of Christmas isn't what it used to be and he can't take it. So, garbed in his red suit, Harry decides that the only thing he can do is to become Santa himself and make all of the naughty townspeople pay...in blood! Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present Lewis Jackson's cult favorite Christmas Evil newly restored in 4k and on blu-ray for the first time!

"Classic Holiday horror film. Worth a pickup as this is a great release."
"A great Christmas slasher."
"Love this release so much I had to replace the OG I bought in 2015 when it started skipping. Proof? Here’s the slip I purchased on its owned when first released here. Beautiful work put into the PQ and features. Would love a 4k disc one day if possible . This one is top 3 in Christmas Horror classics"
"I was searching the VS website and came across this gem! It was a lot of fun to watch and is a high-quality flick from the Christmas horror sub-genre! The peerless VS restoration process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"
"I don't know why I slept on this one, a long way from the typical Santa slasher. Christmas evil is an stylish depiction of one mans mental break and the frenzy that results."
"The classic restored with John waters commentary very excited to watch this new edition."
"A young boy sees mommy having sex with Santa Claus and grows up Christmas-obsessed. He has his own "Naughty and Nice List" and takes Holiday cheer seriously. . . very seriously. If any adults are mean to Santa, they get a punishment a little worse than coal. This movie was definitely odd. It was odd because of one scene, in which the psycho Santa brings toys to kids in a hospital. It actually. . . warmed my heart. Yes. Christmas EVIL warmed my heart. I felt horrible for the killer, as the director intended. It's like a Christmas Slasher version of Frankenstien, where the villain is tragic and just in his killings. Plus, both feature a town of mobbing people with torches. But there were little scene scattered about, the end scene, the toy scene, that actually. . . made me happy. So it manages to scare AND celebrate Christmas at the same time."
"What a fun little Christmas movie! The transfer is great! I had a cheap version on one of those 50 horror movie sets and this release is a 1000 times better!"
"Really fun Xmas horror. Super fun to contrast watch with other holiday classics"
"Christmas Eve is one of the most underrated Christmas horror, movies and that is a crime. Tons of fun tons of holiday cheer and holiday horror the extras are unbelievable. Make sure you stay till the very end. Terrific sound. Terrific picture. A+."
