Christmas break turns deadly at a girls' school when a killer in a Santa suit crashes the party.
TO ALL A GOODNIGHT
You'll Scream 'til Dawn
A group of teenagers at a party find themselves being stalked by a maniacal killer in a Santa Claus costume.
Proof that not all Christmas movies are safe for family night.
Long before killer Santas became a holiday staple, To All a Goodnight delivered festive mayhem at the Calvin Finishing School for Girls. With David Hess—better known for his villainous on-screen roles—behind the camera, this early-80s slasher offers a Yuletide bloodbath with party-happy teens, inept police, and a killer who really doesn't care if you've been naughty or nice.
