25days

So, enjoy the 25 Days of Christmas Horror from HorrorBuzz! Here is your first delightful morsel.


 

Do you remember being a child at Christmas? Do you remember trying to stay awake to catch a glimpse of the jolly old red-suited elf as he gently places gaily-wrapped gifts under your decorated tree? Do you remember his sharp claws?

Wait–what?

“SANTA” is a Christmas-themed, short horror film with a different spin on the lore of Santa Claus. It revolves around two young children who are awake in their beds on Christmas Eve, hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa when he arrives. But when he does arrive… they find that he is not the loving, bearded, jolly old man they’ve come to expect…

With a brief running time of 90 seconds, “SANTA” tries to balance the mystic Christmas mood with the imagery and tension of the horror genre. It is directed by brothers Dionysis & Manos Atzarakis and was filmed in Greece on a rough budget of 200 Euros.  It’s a fun way to start this chilly season off right, and we hope you enjoy it! Scary Christmas!
