Synopsis
A Christmas Horror Story (2015) is a Canadian horror anthology you can watch online on iFILM — four stories set on Christmas Eve in the small town of Bailey Downs, all stitched together by drunk radio DJ Ian Trevor, voiced by William Shatner. Directors Grant Harvey, Steven Hoban, and Brett Sullivan each took a segment and ran with it.
One thread follows three teenagers who sneak into a locked school to investigate a murder and find something worse waiting in the basement. Another tracks a family whose son goes missing during an illegal tree-cutting trip in the woods — and the child who comes back is not quite the same. A young couple stumbles into a visit from Krampus, the horned pagan anti-Santa with a talent for punishment. And Santa himself spends his busiest night fighting for his life against a workshop full of zombie elves, armed with a fire axe.
The clever part is that the stories are told out of sequence and converge in a finale that reframes everything. It punches harder than most seasonal slashers precisely because it never takes the Christmas setting as a joke — it leans into it. Stream A Christmas Horror Story (2015) on iFILM.
