Christmas Evil is an odd little horror film from 1980. It’s odd not that it features a killer Santa Claus but that the killer Santa is, ultimately, a rather sympathetic character. If a slasher film could ever be described as sweet than Christmas Evil is definitely that film.
Of course, that might not be evident from the scene below. Still, I think the scene perfectly shows what so many children know — Santa is a judgmental and intimidating figure.

Only scary Christmas movie I remember is Silent Night Deadly Night or something similar. That like, Santa doll that was a plastic ball with stretchy arms was scary as all hell XD

Wait a minute, think I saw this on cable once. Did the Santa Doll with stretchy arms movie also feature Mickey Rooney and his robot son?

Hmm, I think he might have been the crazy santa…actually I just looked up the trailer and my bad, that wasn’t the name of the movie I thought of. Actually, I have no idea what the name of ‘my’ movie is, but it could be like a Creep show thing, but that didn’t turn up any hits >.< Ha-HA! Got it! It was a Tales from the Crypt episode: And All Though the House.
The santa doll I recall doesn't fit this story, as the santa above was nuts and not a toy maker or anything. The toy I remember ended up wrapping itself around the person's face and like suffocating it with it's giant ball body, then slinking away after.
