Hey man, if some creepy toy head tells me that it's going to unwrap my skull at midnight, I'm getting the hell out of dodge.
I know right?!! LOL I do wonder why Santa had no head attached to begin with, tho....!
He must've been reeeally naughty during the year.
Poor guy is already sleeping on the couch for petes sakes
I made one too.

Well done. The horror build up was definitely in place.
Hey thanks so much, Nano!
Never sleeping on the couch again.
Haha!
I hate watching these but it's worth it
@@MidnightVideo Do you still make short films and if so would you be willing to do something based on Hansel and Gretel?
@@Abelmars11 We're writing quite a bit these days, but hope to do another short soon! Re: Hansel and Gretal, not sure if we'd tackle that story since Gretal and Hansel (the Oz Perkins film) came out, but if there's an interesting take, you never know!
@@MidnightVideo What if kids had do sceans for a school project and added a scean where they got put in the oven?
Love the slow build of terror. Wonderfully lit-there’s a terrific atmosphere here! Awesome short!!
Thank you Hunter!!!

Well done. I can actually see this being part of an anthology. Better yet, I can see this being a full episode of Tales from the Crypt or Creepshow.
Looking forward to more.
Awesome! We definitely love to strive for that tone for sure!
Super creepy! Big fan of Christmas horror. Love the sound design on this too.
Thanks so much, Richard!
The beginning already fuking creepy..38sec in Lmfao
Same
They always have a "Surprise" in their shorts (horror shorts) 😉
😆😆😆 @ChadMcDaniel. I see what u did there. Pretty clever.
👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼👏🏻👏
A brand new holiday tradition! Ho ho h-oh, wow, ow ow! OW!!!
Damn that's spooky! I really dig the unique approach to Xmas horror. There's not enough killer Xmas dolls!
That is true
3:24 the scary background music and the Santa Claus without his head is even more scarier 😱
this is way too underrated-
Thanks for watching. A share and a like is always super helpful!
Todd Spence and his crew have created a holiday gem!
YEP ANYWAYS ARE YOU SAVED GHOSTDIRECTIVE ? HAVE YOU ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE I COULDN'T IMAGINE HEAVEN WITHOUT YOU
That scared the H E double hockey sticks out of me, great just great!!
Hey thanks so much! It'd be a huge help if you shared this one!!!
I would have thrown the toy away immediately.. what a freaking Santa
Hahahaha!
Xmas is gone but the atmosphere remained vividly
This is great, the suspense just builds and builds. I love this stuff!
I think he was trying to tell him to hide or run when ever he spoke. But idk lol
That's a great theory! Love it. (btw if you're able to give it a like and share that'd be huge)
that was really creepy , but good. Midnight videos always make really good horror shorts.
Thanks Tamara! Feel free to share!
It would be sledgehammer o’clock after 2 seconds if a red toy started that type of turd in my crib...
😂😂😂
Very well done! I love these shorts! Keep up the amazing job!! Merry Christmas!
This was awesome, definitely changed how I feel about Santa! 🎅🏻
Thanks for watching and commenting Dante!!!
the worst part is the fact that i own this exact same santa XD
Haha! That's amazing. Maybe we can re-record the voice for ya
I absolutely love this. Good job on it
And it seems like Santa is the one that's naughty this year
Hey thanks so much and thank you for commenting! Feel free to share!
YEP ANYWAYS ARE YOU SAVED MC JR ? HAVE YOU ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE I COULDN'T IMAGINE HEAVEN WITHOUT YOU
That was scary short horror jolly film
Nice creepy little holiday film.
Very well made, effective.
I loved it!
Thanks so much, Matt! Feel free to share!
It’s time to tell the kids that Santa don’t exist 😂
You can't beat Xmas horror! Nice work guys!, A true classic. 😨👏👍
Thank you so much, Mary! Do us a favor and give it a Like and Share if you can!
this is the perfect holiday short film. amazing stuff!
Ho ho ho it’s time to tell the kids that Santa don’t exist 😂
Let them know if they're bad this is what they're going to get!
Acting top notch as always, the lighting in this is perfection!! What colours and atmosphere!! To chuckle and be super apprehensive at the same time is so much creepy fun!!
Thank you so much Elizabeth!!!
YEP ANYWAYS ARE YOU SAVED ELIZABETH WILSON? HAVE YOU ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE I COULDN'T IMAGINE HEAVEN WITHOUT YOU
Where'd the headless Santa body come from?
How'd the guy miss a random HLS body lying on the floor in front of his Christmas tree?
Which given the direction HLS comes from should have already been in his direct line of sight?
Even a headless Santa can be wonderfully magical
Kinda looked like it came from the fireplace. Bothers me a little that he wasn't off the couch by then, though.
@@SiriusJMoonlight You know how people slow down to see a car accident or freeze when they see a car accident? It's kinda like that especially when a moving headless body is in play
@@SiriusJMoonlight Ahhh! I see the fireplace now. That would make more sense and explain why it stood up after getting the scissors.
Todd and the gang killing it again as always! Love a great horror film, always a dig a holiday one, gets boring with all the happy crap this time of year 😂 can’t wait to see what y’all do next!
YEP ANYWAYS ARE YOU SAVED JOE SMITH ? HAVE YOU ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE I COULDN'T IMAGINE HEAVEN WITHOUT YOU
Last minute Christmas shopping is the most horrifying time of the year
Truth!
Yes
Haha that was awesome, great job. ! Always love seeing a new video from you guys.
Thanks so much, Matt! Hope you're well, and happy holidays!
LOVED this. You guys constantly crush it
That means so much, Joseph, so glad you dug it! Feel free to share around!!!
Dude just keeps knocking it out of the park on these, very cool. Keep it up!
Thank you so much! Feel free to share around!
This was pretty fun! I loved the lighting too. It has a Creepshow vibe
thanks so much!!
Damn this hella creepy I watched it late at night and was creep out when Santa got up at the end
Haha, thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment! By all means, feel free to share it around!
I just went Christmas shopping today so this gift of a film is perfect to end the day with
Hope you picked up some good stuff!
The tension o.o such a creepy animatronic Well done!
Thanks so much, Megan! Feel free to give it a Like and share!
Not me feeling like I’m on the verge of a heart attack during a four minute film 😳
Don't have a creepy Santa in your house.
Good call.
Nice work! Love the festive lighting and the twist.
Hey thanks so much!! Feel free to share and Like if you haven’t! 🙏🙏🙏🎅🏻
Totally unexpected ending! And I love the creepy toy 🎅
Tension is the best thing about the video and your videos give you amazing chills it's super cool
Wow, that means a lot! Thank you so much for taking a moment to leave us a comment (and hopefully a Like) - love hearing feedback so yours was especially great to see. Thank you, Amer.
Fun and spooky. A great holiday short film
Since childhood I've been terrified 😱 of Santa Clauses of *ANY KIND!* Whether freakishly large or hilariously small, realistic or cartoonish, lifeless or humanoid, etc... they're _ALL_ nightmare fuel to me!
I think it stems back to that one TFTC episode I saw on HBO as a kid in the 80's... w the deranged, killer Santa or something. Anybody else remember? No? Just me? I made it up? Cool. I prolly did. 😆
Idk _why_ but I always just _HAD TO_ stay awake, sneak & crawl halfway downstairs, & watch alone (because... only child), in the dark, thru the banister rails (& lowkey thru my fingers too 🙈 lol). Knowing FULL WELL i was gonna have nightmares for WEEKS!
*But I had to watch!* I was HOOKED af! As if the opening sequence w the Crypt Keeper laughing like a maniac wasn't creepy enuff, I legit cldn't move til it was over!😵 I was petrified w fear.... & *completely addicted* @ the same time!
"Are You Afraid of the Dark" at least had the compassion to break up our lil punk @ss kiddie fears w COMMERCIAL BREAKS & CARTOON SHORTS! But HBO was on some whole _OTHER_ ish! They wanted our souls! Sheesh! Lol.
Thus beginning my life-long love affair w the Horror genre, while lowkey sparking my phobia of clowns, dolls, mascots, & Santa Clause!... making several counselors rich over the years!🤑 Lol.
But as scared as I was, *IT WAS GREAT!* & _THIS_ channel gives me all the same feels! Thanks @MidnightVideo. Idk how I even found this channel, but i'm sooooo glad i did! I LOVE IT HERE! 😍🥰🤗
Also, you'll be receiving an invoice from my therapist.✌🏾
Love your comment! We're big fans of Tales from the Crypt so you feel what we're feelin! Cheers!
This is a Ripper film. This is the best
Hey thanks so much! Which part stood out to you??
This has inspired me to make a Christmas horror film of my own
Cleverly chilling!!
Very underrated channel. Great job!
Hey thanks, Chasey! Which was your favorite part of JOLLY?
It's a little like Talkie Tina meets Trilogy of Terror. Well done! 🤘🤘🤘
Ooooh great comparison! We'll take it!
Awesome short film!! Ending was really good too, nice work 👍👍
Hey thanks so much, Marcus!!!
That escalated fast
He was warned
Awesome short film! Nice unique take on the holiday horror subgenre.
YEP ANYWAYS ARE YOU SAVED GERM RIPPER ? HAVE YOU ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE I COULDN'T IMAGINE HEAVEN WITHOUT YOU
Great atmosphere and lighting!
On most Christmas eves at midnight I'm a little worse for the wear so I'd probably not even wake up till I was stabbed in the noggin! Well done!
Haha good call. And thanks! Feel free to share and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
3 things I need my rifle, keys, car and getting far away
lol
I could imagine this being part of an episode of Creepshow
underrated channel, it is very professional
Thank you so much for the compliment, Solito. It means a lot, it really does.
😱😱😱 Scary af. It was well made and I loved it. Def sleeping with the lights on tonight.
YEP ANYWAYS ARE YOU SAVED SPOOKY TRACI ? HAVE YOU ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE I COULDN'T IMAGINE HEAVEN WITHOUT YOU
Excellent Christmas creeps. 5 stars.
This got me in the holiday feels
haha
Another great short, I've loved all of them.
That means so much, thank you for letting us know! If you can share it around that'd be huge!
super spooky, i love it !
It is the first short horror film that really scared me
Oh wow, thanks so much! Feel free to share it around!
Wow that was really good, creepy but also funny, I laughed a lot. . The Santa doll eyes were creepy and realistic. It was very funny too.
Thanks so much, Aaron! We wanted to make it a little fun, especially since it is a Santa animatronic head which is already a bit comedic, haha
@@MidnightVideo did you create and have the Santa head operated for this? Like did you make the head originally. It’s effective. Or was it just a Christmas decor
@@aaronying4989 Hi Aaron, this is Todd--I actually find out randomly and thought there's gotta be a way to use this as the catalyst for something spooky. Just the eyes alone made it worth while to think about. Originally it plays a tune and Santa sings, so we overdubbed all of that with our own dialogue and VO.
AWSOME I LOVE ME A GOOD XMAS SHORT FILM BEFORE CHRISTMAS good job the music perfect
'
Thanks so much, Paula!
Btw how did you find the short?
Loved this! 🎅🏽
Awesome!!!
I love me some Ho Ho Horror! Well done!

@@MidnightVideo You're welcome! I've watched them all after this one and they were all really cool, I can see the evolution in your productions as well and I am looking forward to what's coming next!
@@MadameLaMort that means a lot to hear. Thank you so much for commenting and letting us know 🙏
Keep it up. Great work!
Well, I -used- to like those types of decorations...
Hahahahaha
@@MidnightVideo Also, is it cool if I link/share this to facebook? I've got a few friends that I KNOW need to see this.
@@boonejbruce My lord yes please!
@@MidnightVideo Done and done! I didn't know the etiquette on sharing something like this!
@@boonejbruce sharing work with others is always a great thing! Thank you 🙏
Loved it guys!
Thanks so much, Zac! High praise from you sir
I enjoyed this :) thank u x
So glad you dug it! It’d be a huge help if you gave it a like and shared with pals!
Great job!!! Loved it!
YEP ANYWAYS ARE YOU SAVED AMY THE FINAL GIRL? HAVE YOU ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE I COULDN'T IMAGINE HEAVEN WITHOUT YOU
Santa went all Krampus on him!
For real! Thanks for commenting! If you can give it a Like and perhaps share that'd be huge!!!
This is GREAT!
Thanks so much! Feel free to keep up to date on new stuff via Instagram! @ Midnight_Video
Terrifying!
Well that was awesome!
So glad you dug it, Ryan!
This is awesome!
Thanks so much!!!
they should do something similar based around the Laffun heads from back in the day. if you had one, you can imagine how terrifying the idea of its headless body hiding in your house waiting to kill you would be!
Never heard of Laffun heads, we'll have to look'em up!
Very cool, really well shot, look forward to more!
Hey thanks for commenting, Eric! Have you seen our previous film FACE MASK?
Really well done suspense! I liked how you kept showing the ominous 'inside' (with its red-hued ambience) & the peaceful outside. Plus even the deer looked creepy! So did the Nutcracker Man (but those always look like they're up to no good to me LOL) Perhaps a scary question to finish with: Why did Santa have no head to begin with?! Hehe.
Thanks so much, Tara for checking out and leaving a comment! How did you come across the short??
@@MidnightVideo I was actually querying 'Christmas horror-short' for my Facebook horror group! I run a group up there. :) Would you mind if I posted this one up there? (with your name/credits on it of course).
@@taracollins5597 Posted as a link, yes. Posted as in ripped and embedded on facebook's player, we would prefer not - thank you for asking.
@@MidnightVideo Oh no, this would only be a link. I periodically post horror-shorts that impress me , for viewing in the group only. I won't post it if you don't wish me to, its not a problem.
@@taracollins5597 Link is totally okay! Glad you're up for sharing it!
This is pretty good work
Hey Ashtin, appreciate it! Thank you.
When Santa really goes bad. 😏
I love your videos!
I'm a little late to comment this, but as someone who is obsessed with holiday animatronics and decorations, I absolutely love this short film. Quick question, Is the Santa toy an actual product or was it made specifically for this film??
Xmas Sundance wuhu lol hoho
Xmas Sundance??
well im on santas side idiot just laid there , after it told me im gonna unwrap your skull id had tossed it out the door asap ,but he just lays there lol. loved the story set theme
hahahaha, I mean who would really think an animatronic head could do anything tho. Halloween decorations say way worse and no one goes running!
@@MidnightVideo in this day n age who does not have a horror movie education ? if a santa head tell me at midnight im gonna unwrap your head . out it goes and i might take a lil trip too lol where did he buy that ebay under haunted items active
@@ronaldbelflower1236 Hahaha! Love it
EXACTLY
Hi, Maersk. I'm so Happy because it's only August, but Christmas Planning Started in July! Can't Wait!
I loved it dudes, it was so cool
Thanks, Dan!
Looks like a fun toy
Just turn off the motion activation!
That was cool and a very good idea.
Hey thanks so much! If you're able to share it around, that'd be a huge help, Fireline!
Another great one! Would have had to drop kick the Santa Head. Great work fellas!
Haha now that'd make for a fun sequel. Thanks for commenting Ken! Hope you're well!
