When it comes to Christmas movies, what do you think of first? Is it a festive, snowy scene or a warm, tingling happy ending? Holiday movies are filled with joy and cheers...at least, most of them are so. But there is actually a selection of Christmas movies that are actually very dark. Curious? continue reading.

If you are tired of the sweet storylines and predictable clichés of traditional Christmas movies, don't worry, you won't become the Grinch. Instead, you should look at some avant-garde options that are still suitable for seasonality. Some of them are actually very popular-you just never realize how dark they were before. After years of vacation watching, one day you will wake up to realize how scarred these movies were when you were a kid. Take a closer look, the Snowman Frost is actually terrifying. You all know that the snowman died in that movie, right?

But other people are actually prepared for children, which makes their creeps even more shocking. Either way, you can spend a great time this holiday and hurt the young people in your family through disturbing animations in the Polar Express.

From horror movies (yes, there are holiday horror movies) to beloved classic animations, these are the darkest Christmas movies ever.
