Lol I saw the cover for this when I was like 6 and still think its Santa's little helper lol

Though this movie wasn’t the best, i really liked the idea they had here ...there’s something really eerie about a stranger in a mask hanging out with a innocent boy throughout the movie who doesn’t understand the dangers in that and all of his family members thinking it’s the sisters boyfriend. I liked that concept
