History Main / Santabomination

* The Dutch horror movie ''Film/{{Sint}}'' involves a man discovering the hard way that Sinterklaas is the ghost of a psychotic KnightTemplar who reappears alongside his army every thirty-five years to inflict mass murder on cities and towns. While the heroes manage to give the ghost a bloody nose this time, it’s all but flat out stated that it didn’t stop him.

* ''Film/SantasSlay'' reveals that Santa is actually TheAntiChrist and that he only delivers toys to good little girls and boys because he lost a bet with an [[CelestialParagonsAndArchangels Archangel]]. When the bet is off, he returns to being a demonic bringer of chaos and destruction who begins his killing spree in the (ironically named) town of Hell's Township.

* ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'': The 2008 Crimbo event (the [=KoL=] version of Christmas) resulted in [[http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/The_Crimbomination the Crimbomination]]. It's also about as unbeatable as a typical EldritchAbomination, no [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punching out Cthulhu here]]. [[http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Ho-ho-ho-hee-hee-hee-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Even the guard that was assigned to the factory has been driven completely insane just from looking at it]]. It was created by human hands, or at least by [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins penguin flippers]]. The Crimbo factory was taken over forcefully by the Penguin Mafia, and the Crimbo Elves were forced to work in a factory powered by [[GreenRocks grimicite]], which is highly radioactive and caused the elves to mutate. After curing a lot of elves of their mutation, the remaining mutated elves [[FusionDance fused together]] to create the Crimbomination. The Kingdom's adventurers were able to weaken it to the point where the penguins could [[SealedEvilInACan seal it in a gigantic crate.]]
** Unsurprisingly to anyone who knows ''[=KoL=]'' penguins, they released it next year at the end of Crimbo 2009. The player community brainwashed it into becoming the new Uncle Crimbo, and it showed up in the 2010 Crimbo event... as a CorruptCorporateExecutive running the bland, soulless corporation CRIMBCO.

* ''VideoGame/BravelySecond'': Ba'al II; Redshirt. It's a demonic aberration that resembles a mix between a Santa Hat and a withered, crimson Christmas tree. Supposedly, it was created by a warped memory of a couple during Christmas.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toe-8ykTUT8 This]] short disturbing animation by WebAnimation/{{Cyriak}}, also an example of AnimalisticAbomination.
* Walter from the WebVideo/CryptTV series ''Milk & Cookies'' is a hideous, blue-skinned, demonic cross between Santa and Krampus who is constantly drooling blood that is implied to be toxic. He also swallows people whole and regurgitates them as lumps of coal.

* The ''WesternAnimation/LoveDeathAndRobots'' short ''[[Recap/LoveDeathAndRobotsAllThroughTheHouse All Through The House]]'' (based on a short story by Joachim Heijndermans) has a grotesque red xenomorph-style Santa Claus that can sniff out a child's 'goodness' and regurgitate the perfect gifts if it approves. After an ominous warning to "stay good", the children unfortunate enough to witness it lie awake wondering what would've happened to them if they ''hadn't'' been good.
* The ''WesternAnimation/BigMouth'' Christmas special, "[[Recap/BigMouthS05E8AVeryBigMouthChristmas A Very Big Mouth Christmas]]" the Jansen twins say that back in Holland they had Vader Johan, a Krampus-looking creature who would visit children on Christmas Eve in order to kill them and take their bones. The children would hide in coffins to try and convince Johan they're already dead and pray to the Mongoose King in the hopes he'll come and fight off Vader Johan.

* The ''[[https://youtu.be/1T_RZOoVlzc Jesus VS Frosty]]'' short that predated ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' had the boys terrorized by an evil, tentacles Frosty the Snowman. When they ask Santa for help, he grows tentacles revealing himself to be Frosty in disguise and kills Kenny.

* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' introduces the disturbing Mr. Chimney in the spin-off comics. He's a strange, man-shaped creature with dozens of insectoid legs who [[TheOmniscient sees and knows everything]], [[ChildEater eats lost teenage boys]], and [[PedoHunt isn't allowed within 100 feet of a school]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'' episode "Girl Hair," Space Ghost ends up killing Music/{{Hanson}} so they can't snitch on him after he runs over the ToothFairy in his spaceship (ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext). Later he's spooked when Santa appears at Ghost Planet and expects to be chewed out, only to be surprised when Santa declares that Space Ghost is a very ''good'' boy for killing the Tooth Fairy, because "I've been trying to kill her myself for years!"

'''"Santa":''' [[AC:[[VoiceOfTheLegion That's because I'm not the Santa you know, Space Ghost! I'm Bizarro Santa, from the Electroid Dimension!]]]] (''[[OneWingedAngel transforms into a screaming pile of flesh, claws, and teeth]]'')

* The in-universe equivalent to Santa Claus from ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'' is Knish Kringle, a caterpillar-esque creature that travels around the world [[YouMeanXmas Knishmas]] night. He comes down a chimney and if the Shmingerbread House (a life-size gingerbread house) left for him tastes good, he'll regurgitate gifts for the owners. If he doesn't like it, he'll go into an UnstoppableRage and destroy the house.

* Played with in ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', where Santa has a long-standing conflict with a small, adorable, murderous asshole of a rabbit who tries to kill him every year, spends several years infected with an alien virus that mutated him into a monster (who still delivers toys to children), and [[spoiler:is a WarGod from a long-lost ancient civilization, and his rivalry with the aforementioned rabbit dates back to those days.]]

Often times this trope applies to Santa if it involves less the Christian side of Christmas (that is unless Yahweh is more the eldritch-horror type unsurprisingly) and more with the various Pagan traditions that applies to the holiday, various rituals of protection that have long since lost their original purpose over the years and have become modern Christmas traditions, meaning that {{the fundamentalist}}s were right and Santa is a Pagan idol that could possibly destroy the Earth. Children don't give him milk and cookies as a "please and thank you" for the presents; they are offerings to appease his ever slumbering rage, waiting for the day when he rains jolly [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom doom]] upon the world.

* {{Creator/Will McDaniel}}'s video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDDCQdpT1C0 The Christmas Grotto]] has a bizzare... ''thing'' that looks like it's made of raw meat pose as Santa to lure the protagonist inside a dirty-looking trainer. [[spoiler: It turns out to be the lure for some kind of subterranean creature that swallows up the trailer with the protagonist inside]].

SantaClaus is an unusual man, ain't he? He's a spaceless, timeless immortal male senior citizen that seems to change his name and ethnicity depending on whatever country he exists in. He is omniscient (how else would he know if you've been bad or good?) and omnipresent (he can drop the right selection of gifts in every house on the planet with no one ever seeing him despite being a fat man apparently getting in through the chimney) and he can survive things that should kill a normal man his age (eating everybody's cookies and milk, living in the inhospitable wastes of the Northern hemisphere, nearly getting shot down by the U.S. military every year for being an unregistered airborne entity, etc).

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-4666 SCP-4666]] "The Yule Man" from ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'' is a particularly sadistic HumanoidAbomination that acts as a grotesque parody of TheKrampus and BadSanta. It sneaks into people's houses and proceeds to torture the families there in gruesome, unimaginable ways before it kills them. In most cases, it will leave one of the children alive, kidnapping them and forcing them to make toys from human remains, with the toys being given to one of the families it haunts 15% of the time instead of the torture and murder. If its child slave does not fulfill the proper quota of toys, it will either [[ImAHumanitarian eat them]], torture them or [[HumanResources use their body parts as materials to make more toys]].

* Walter from the WebVideo/CryptTV series ''Milk & Cookies'' is a hideous, blue skinned, demonic cross between Santa and Krampus who is constantly drooling blood that is implied to be toxic. He also swallows people whole and regurgitates them as lumps of coal.

* Narrowly averted in the [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Halloween Town]] level of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII''; Maleficent intends to create one of these by turning Santa into a Heartless, but Sora and company stop him before that happens.
