About the Site
Purpose & Scope
This is a database of horror movies tied to specific holidays. It’s built for planning seasonal watchlists and for finding titles that actually feel like the holiday on screen.
Entries stick to the essentials—title, year, links, poster, and a Holiday Cheer breakdown. You can suggest additions from the menu/footer.
Holiday Cheer Breakdown (the actual criteria)
- Takes place on or around a holiday
- Features holiday symbols and decorations
- Features a traditional holiday activity
- Features an iconic holiday character
- Someone is killed in a festive or holiday-specific way
How It Works
Holiday Cheer Level
The Holiday Cheer score tells you how “holiday” a movie feels. It is not a quality rating.
- Each “Yes” in the breakdown boosts the score.
- More holiday elements = higher score and stronger seasonal fit.
- Use it to compare titles when you’re building a themed lineup.
