Telling ghost stories or other scary stories is an old Christmas tradition.
Many people might not be aware, but there is a surprisingly high number of Christmas horror movies. Especially ones produced since 2010. Some are about Christmas or specific Christmas-based characters and others are horror movies that just take place at Christmas.
