However, when it comes to the holidays, whether that be Valentine's Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year's, or, of course, Halloween, you might want a specifically themed horror movie to tie into the celebration.

There are plenty of classics as well as more modern horr𒉰or movies that keep the spirit of the holi♈days alive. Most of these will be slashers, but then you also have some that showcase body horror, Gothic horror, and horror-comedy elements. Some of the films below can also be less obvious in that they are centered around a holiday.

10 The Lodge

Christmas with a side of masterfully slow-burning, snowy isolation horror is what's under the tree 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:with Neon's The Lodge. The moral of this holiday horror film is don't mess with the wrong person, 🐈who, in this specific case, is a soon-to-be stepmother named Grace and the only surviving member of her cult's mass suicide.

Grace and her fiancée's kids are snowed in at the family lodge, where they would traditionally spend Christmas before the siblings tragically lost their mother to suicide.

9 🦩 𓃲 My Bloody Valentine (1981 And 2009)

There have been a lot of Valentine's Day slashers that tried to work but didn't get much traction or acclaim, but My Bloody Valentine wasꦅ a unique V-Day slasher idea that was the first of its kind and also the best of its kind. The series centers around a vengeful miner who goes on a killing spree on Valentine's Day and packages his victims' hearts in chocolate boxes.

The original 1981 film is an iconic slasher film with a compelling whodunnit mystery about The Miner's identity. The 2009 remake changes🦩 the story to throw you for a loop and gives a new, unexpected identity for The Miner.

8 The B🍒lackening

One of the most original and satirical horror-comedy films has to be The Blackening. The movie uses the holiday of Juneteenth to tell a whodunnit tale in the vein of Scream, with a group of friends trapped in a game by a masked crossbow-wielding aꦬssailant.

The game is called 'The Blackening' and it's a satirical trivia tabletop game poking fun at pop culture and how it represents Black characters, with even a racist caricature at the center of the board. If they fail a question or decline to respond, one of the group will be eliminated by the killer, but they have to🔯 serve up the 'Blackest' person to be sacrificed, which leads to hilarious moments.

7 ♓Nosfera🎐tu (2024)

The Oscar-nominated 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:fourth film by Rob🦋ert E💜ggers, Nosferatu, was actually a Christmas Day release, and takes place during the hol𒈔iday season in 1830s Germany. It's snowy, there's a Christmas tree in th🌠e Harding house, and the Gothic atmosphere, lighting, and cinematography give it the perfect haunting wintertime feel.

Nosferatu is a 1922 unofficial Dracula adaptation now reimagined by Eggers for a modern audience, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:with some notes frꦺom Coppola's Dracula. There are some powerful performances, with Skarsgård's titular va🌠mpire (with his incredible appearance and menacing voice) and Willem Dafoe's occult professor being the big highlights. Like The Lighthouse, Nosferatu's ending shot will be ingra🍌ined in your memory as well.

6 Thanks🗹giving 🍌

There are many Thanksgiving horror movies that exist, and a slasher villain dressed as a pilgrim is not꧒hing new. However, Eli Roth's Thanksgiving managed to elevate the tropes of a Thanksgiving slasher film with a sophisticated whodunnit Scream-inspired plot and biza🀅rre satire on the dangers of Black Friday shopping.

The movie opens with a Black Friday disaster that leaves several people dead inside a grocery store owned by the father of the main character (Nell Verlaque's Jessica Wright). The killer wears a John Carver mask and targets all those he feels responsible for the event, which ♔includes Jessica and her friends. Patrick Dempsey plays the sheriff, and you'll be left in suspense until the very end.

5 ও Heart Eyes ♌

Heart Eyes is another Valentine's Day-themed slasher packed with as much horror and satire as Thanksgiving and Josh Ruben's previous movie, Werewolves Within. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:It's a great one to watch on V-Day because💞 the protagonists here, Ally and Jay, get hilariously mistaken as a couple who must now survive the unstoppable 'Heart Eyes Killer.'

The movie balances gory and suspenseful kills with a very self-aware and clever romantic comedy-infused storyline, ending with the usual whodunnit twist. Ally and Jay are a𝔉lso played by two veterans of the slasher genre, Totally Killer's Olivia Holt and Scream 5 and 6's Mason Gooding. Heart Eyes also comes from producer and co-writer Christopher Landon of Drop, Freaky, and♏ Happy Death Day fame.

4 Terrifier Series ꧒

Damien Leone's unrated Terrifier series delivers some of the most gory, brutal, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:and impressive practical effect🐠s kills by its silent and silly main villain, Art the Clown. The first two are set on Halloween, while the third i🅷nstallment is on Christmas, with Art getting his fill of cookies and blood and trying on Santa's beard.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The first film is the most underrated and features some unforgettable kills, like the hacksaw and skinsuit scenes. The sequel starts building the story of Artꦗ versus Sienna, with even more outrageous and comically vile Halloween-themed kills. Terrifier 3, however, is the best installment, building to a shocking climax in the finale and upping Art and Vicky's carnage to even more creative and uncomfortable extremes.

3 The Substance 𒊎🤡

You rarely see a horror movie set around the൩ celebration of New Year's, let alone an Oscar-winning one for Best Makeup and Hairstyling along with a Best Actress Golden Globe for Demi Moore. Moore plays aging fitness TV star Elisabeth Sparkle, who ꧂decides to take the 'Substance,' a green agent that allows her body to produce a younger version connected to herself, birthed through her back.

The younger, more attractive Sue immediately starts taking the spotlight, with her show's ratings spiking to such numbers that the studio choꦬoses her to host the New Yeaꦛr's show. Elisabeth and Sue start to have growing jealousy, especially when one starts abusing the Substance.

2 Bꦗlack Christmas (1974)

Black Christmas predates John Carpenter's horror classic Halloween and is one of the most innovative and truly creepy holiday slasher movies set during Christmas. The most notable element of Black Christmas is that the killer remains unseen, with every one of his kills being done from a first-person poin🍬t of view, an atypical style that would influence the future of horror.

The terror ensues at a university sorority house full of sisters on Christmas br💯eak, with the killer hiding in their attic the whole time and making strange, threatening phone calls before he comes out to pick them off one by one.

Black Christmas received two remakes, one in 200♋6 and ano𒅌ther in 2019 from Blumhouse, but they both failed to live up to the same acclaim that the original Bob Clark movie set for the genre.

1 ⛎ Halloween (1978)

You can't go wrong with a Halloween horror classic like John Carpenter's Halloween, which followed in the footsteps of iconic slashers before it and ultimately helped popularize the genre. Michael Myers became one of the most infamꦛous villains in horror cinema, Jai💫me Lee Curtis g♎ave one of the best final girl performances with her character Laurie Strode, and the theme song is just iconic.

Halloween is set in the fictional location of Haddonfield, Illinois, where Michael Myers wreaks havoc on the townsfolk aftౠer escaping from a mental institution. His childhood psychiatrist, Dr. Samuel Loomis, hunts Michael as he sets his sights on Strode and her friends, who are distracted with babysitting and spending time with their boyfriends.
