Luchagore Productions, the Vancouver-based purveyors of such joyfully depraved bloodbaths as El Gigante and Dia de los Muertos, have produced a festive short as gruesome as fans have come to expect of them. They’ve even reworded a seasonal classic as an introduction:

‘Twas just weeks before Christmas, and for the fans who like fright,

Luchagore Productions has created something for your delight.

Most know Saint Nick as a jolly old man,

But we tell a tale of his sadistic master plan.

So gather ‘round boys and girls, and watch if you dare,

‘Cause Santa’s intentions are sure to be a scare!

Watch the video below as the malevolent Santa works soaked in a layer of grime, blood, grease and sweat to ensure all the naughty children out there get what’s coming to them!
