You might think these are Christmas classics. One of them might even be your favorite Christmas movie ever. However, as a child, they scared me half to death. Here's my list of creepy Christmas movies:

1. "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town"

Sure, we will be singing "put one foot in front of the other" for eternity. However, the characters freaked me out throughout this entire film. I just remember disliking this movie very much as a kid.

2. "Gremlins"

Still not sure how this is considered a Christmas movie. This movie is terrifying and you should not let your children watch this because they will grow up scarred for life, like me.

3. "The Year Without A Santa Claus"

The Snow Miser/Heat Miser song is, for sure, a classic, though the characters were extremely creepy to watch. Watch with caution.

4. "The Nightmare Before Christmas"

I have to admit: I have never actually watched this movie before because I was too scared to. To be honest I'm still too scared to watch it. I never want to find out how this movie related to Christmas, ever. I have no desire to ever see this movie.

5. "Rudolph's Shiny New Year"

Again, I get it, it's considered a classic, but it's also very creepy. The characters were just too old-fashioned for my liking as a child.

Sorry to crush your Christmas spirit. We still have "Elf" to rely on, though.
