This is yet another in the series of horror movies seeking to exploit Christmas and Santa Claus for scares (none of which have been as effective as Bob Clark's sweet, nostalgic A CHRISTMAS STORY, in which children are treated to a truly nightmarish visit to an impatient department store
Santa). The plot, such as it is, concerns a madman who is murdering all of the men who play Santa Claus during the holiday season; Purdom is the Scotland Yard man assigned to track down this crazy killer and bring him to justice. The Santas are depicted as drunks and tramps who have accepted the
temporary jobs and are now paying for them with their lives and/or horrible disfiguremen...
