Top 10 Weirdest Christmas Movies Ever Made

In this film, Hulk Hogan plays an evil millionaire who thinks he is the real Santa Claus after a blow to the head. He then decides to protect an orphanage from an evil scientist. The film has been on the list of worst films on IMDB for years. For the trivia fans, a very young Mila Kunis plays one of the roles in this film. It is a cinematographic low point that is difficult to look away even at Christmas.

Please note: this is not the family film with Michael Keaton. In this horror version, a serial killer sentenced to death turns into a murderous snowman after an accident. The effects are mediocre and the story is absurd, but the film has become famous among collectors. Especially the creative ways in which the snowman makes his victims are legendarily bad.

This is one of the strangest science fiction films from the 1960s. A people from Mars decide to kidnap Santa Claus because the children on their planet are unhappy. There is no one there to hand out presents. The costumes are laughably simple, with green faces and tubes on the aliens' heads. The film is so clumsy that it has now achieved cult status among fans of bad cinema.

This film caused quite a stir when it was released in 1984. Parents protested en masse because a murderer in a Santa Claus suit plays the leading role. The idea that the child's friend wields an ax went too far for many. The film follows a traumatized man who goes crazy and goes on a killing spree like Santa Claus. It is a classic for fans of 80s horror, but it is less suitable for a fun family evening.

In this 1989 film, a girl accidentally summons an evil elf during a ritual. It soon turns out that there is a bizarre plot behind it involving her own grandfather, a Nazi wizard. The plan? The elf must found a new super race. Only a police officer played by Dan Hagerty can stop this crazy plan. It's one of the most bizarre Christmas movies ever released on video.

Bad Santa is now a cult classic. Billy Bob Thornton plays Willie, a drinking, cursing and thieving department store Santa Claus. He hates children and is actually only after the contents of the safes of the stores where he works. Although the film is very crude, it does secretly contain a little Christmas message towards the end. Yet it remains an odd one out compared to the decent films you normally see on RTL or SBS.

This Finnish film offers a dark twist on the legend of Santa Claus. An ancient secret is unearthed in the mountains of Lapland. It turns out that the real Santa Claus is not a nice fat boy, but a monster who is not exactly friendly to naughty children. The film is atmospheric and exciting, but completely breaks with the Disney image of Christmas. It is recommended for those who enjoy a bit of Scandinavian horror during the dark days.

This is the third installment in the Bikini Bloodbath series. These films are often high on lists of the worst films ever made. The formula is simple: lots of raunchy humor, violence and revealing outfits. In this part, the massacre takes place during the holidays. It is a film that is so bad that it becomes funny again for some, but you will not easily encounter this filth on national television.

This is a real Christmas slasher. Although a new version was released in 2019, the 1974 original remains the most important. It is considered one of the first slasher films ever, even before the big names like Halloween. The story follows a group of students who are terrorized in their student house by a mysterious killer during Christmas. The contrast between the cozy Christmas decorations and the brutal murders makes it an uncomfortable experience.

Santa's Slay puts a bizarre twist on the Christmas story. Santa Claus is the devil's son here. A lost bet with an angel forced him to be good and give presents for a thousand years. In this film that period is over and Santa wants revenge. Santa Claus is played by ex-WWE superstar Bill Goldberg. Despite the absurd script, the production managed to attract names such as James Caan and Fran Drescher for this bloody comedy.
