Inside this Christmas horror compilation:

• I’ll Be Home For Christmas — by Shane MigliavaccaSnowed into an isolated girls’ boarding school during a brutal winter storm, homesick teens settle in for a cozy Christmas Eve—until a desperate knock at the door turns the night into a terrifying siege of blood, fear, and survival.
• Christmas Rage — by Rob FieldsAt Strickfield Towne Centre Mall, Christmas Eve explodes into violence when simmering grudges, holiday stress, and one very dangerous man in a Santa suit turn the season of giving into a slasher-fueled massacre.
• Welcome to Tiny Christmas, Iowa! — by Michelle AntisocialA burned-out city transplant takes a job in the “tiniest, most Christmasiest place in Iowa,” where it’s always December, the decorations never come down, and the town’s obsession with holiday cheer hides a truly sinister secret.
• The Santa Letters — by Morgan MooreInspired by the infamous Circleville letters, a quiet Ohio town is terrorized by anonymous “Santa” notes filled with accusations and threats—turning Christmas mail into a weapon and shattering the illusion of a peaceful holiday.
• Babes in Terrorland — by Morgan MooreA classic neighborhood toy store overflows with shoppers, kids, and glittering displays… but after closing time, the lights go out, the doors lock, and the aisles become a maze of fear where Christmas wishes twist into a claustrophobic nightmare.
• The Weather Outside is Frightful — by Shane MigliavaccaOn Christmas Eve 1973, a rookie cop and her jaded partner answer a call in the middle of a once-in-a-decade blizzard—only to discover something inhuman hunting in the snow, and a storm that may never let them escape.
• Satan Claus — by Keith TomlinA family’s ugliest sins summon a monstrous, horned figure in a Santa hat from the winter woods. This isn’t Saint Nick—it’s something far older, delivering brutal justice to the truly naughty on Christmas night.
• Christmas Cranberries — by L. F. FalconerA cruel boy grows obsessed with an old-world Christmas legend, only to learn that some hungry holiday spirits are waiting for a chance to taste something fresh, red, and screaming—no matter how pretty the table looks.
• The Naughty List — by Keith TomlinA vicious twelve-year-old wakes up in an icy labyrinth with other “bad kids,” stalked by a towering Christmas beast and watched by eerie elves. This year, Santa’s naughty list is real, and the punishment is permanent.
• Lady Frankenstein — by Rob FieldsIn the village of Strickfield, a descendant of Henry Frankenstein uses a conveniently fresh corpse and his ancestor’s notes to build the perfect woman just before Christmas—only to unleash a vampiric creation into the holiday shopping crowds.

If you crave Christmas horror stories, holiday ghost stories, and winter horror podcasts you can binge all season long, this Weekly Spooky Christmas compilation belongs on your playlist from now through New Year’s.
