You Better Watch Out

There are two “Killer Santa” films on the list, and the first features Brandon Maggart (who you may remember from the 80′s sitcom Brothers, and he’s also the father of Fiona Apple) as a man who experienced a terrible trauma as a child … he witnessed Santa getting frisky under the mistletoe. Somehow that made him go bonkers, and he finally goes off the deep end, and starts hacking up the town. It’s a serviceable slasher pic, but it probably wouldn't have made the list if it weren't the final scene, which is so wonderfully wrong and bat shit, it elevates the entire film.
