With winter coming up soon, I'm sure we're going to see Silent Night, Deadly Night and Black Christmas get mentioned a lot.
But I'm wondering if anyone knows of any seasonal movies that rarely get mentioned (if at all). Hell, not many people know about Home Sweet Home, and that gets mentioned more often than something like Thankskilling, Elves or To All A Goodnight.
Are there any slashers that take place during Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or any other holiday that takes place until New Years?
Our songs will all be silenced, but what of it? Go on singing.

Some of these might not be what you want as most horror fans know them.
Christmas Evil
Silent Night Bloody Night
Rare Exports
Sint
Not Christmas but a good movie for the winter would be Ghostkeeper

Blood Rage takes place on Thanksgiving, although the holiday angle is underplayed. Not a very festive movie, but it kicks lots of ass.
Blood Beat (1983), I believe, takes place on Christmas. It's a bizarre one.
There's also Bloody New Year (1987). Rented this ages ago. Weird British movie. The VHS cover was a combination of cheesy and creepy. There was a really goofy skeleton on the cover with confetti and party banners all over the place.
You got the wrong guy, mang. I don't come off no banana boat. -

The made for television movie Home For The Holidays(1972), which stars Sally Field might be a good candidate. The made television format has some limitations, but the influence on the slasher genre is undeniable. A true proto-slasher. Actually, given its relative obscurity, I wouldn't mind a remake.

Thanks for the tip. I love many seventies made-for-tv, especially the thriller/horror films. The writer of the film you mentioned also did the screenwriting for Hitchcock's Psycho.
