Standout Aspects

Practical Effects

Cursed Santa puppet that will haunt your dreams.

Sound

Voice performance somehow both jolly and deeply wrong.

Best for:Friends: Group watch to collectively scream-laugh at the absurdity.·Background: Play on loop at your holiday party to disturb guests.·Rewatch: Frame-by-frame to catch every deranged animatronic twitch.
Heads up:Gore: Brief but extremely committed practical effects.·Disturbing: Santa's face does things faces shouldn't do.
