Ranker's the Most Macabre Holiday-Themed TV Episodes Ever Produced

Halloween isn't the only holiday that deserves its own spooky TV specials. When it comes to television, Christmas isn't just about claymation reindeers or Charlie Brown. As it turns out, there's some pretty scary holiday TV, too. The cheerful nature of the holiday season makes it the perfect venue for horror: What can go wrong will go wrong, and because we're too busy wrapping presents or sitting around the fire, it'll happen when we least expect it. The episodes in this list were designed to rip the safety net right off the holiday season and remind us that spooky stuff happens no matter the time of year.
