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!

"If Travis Bickle was obsessed with Santa and went on killing spree you would have Christmas Evil. Surprisingly good movie that I went into not expecting much and was very happy with it. Great acting and build up to the craziest batshit ending of any movie."
"Tradition for me to watch this every year, it's not truly Christmas without it"
"Classic Holiday horror film. Worth a pickup as this is a great release."
"I had the opportunity to see this film as part of a secret screening. Not really a slasher as much as a man on a rampage. Fits well into a dark Christmas movie collection"
"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"
"Perfect"
"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."
