Homicidal-Maniac Santa

The Movie: Tales From the Crypt
The Santa: The kitsch 1972 Tales From the Crypt movie is divided into five parts, and the first, And All Through the House, delivers serious terror. After smoking-hot Joanne Clayton (Joan Collins) bludgeons her husband (Martin Boddey) to death, her plans to collect on his insurance policy are foiled when her daughter (Chloe Franks) lets in a homicidal maniac (Oliver MacGreevy) in a cheap Santa suit. MacGreevy's performance is wordless, but his eyes scream horror. Watching him strangle Joanne by the crackling hearth will chill the hottest mug of cocoa.
