Christmas Evil (1980)

 'Christmas Evil' is a Santa slasher film, there are a few of those. Traumatized as a child by seeing his mother make it with his father in a Santa suit, a grown up Harry goes to work at a toy factory. He comes unhinged, obsessed with keeping lists of the naughty and nice from among his neighbors and co-workers. On Christmas eve he goes out dressed as Santa and does some real good, but also kills some people. Kinda slow, but I enjoyed how weird that last act was. John Waters is reported to be a big fan of this film, which makes sense. **
