Santa's Slay (2005)
Baby, it's cold outside: Nicholas Yuleson (Douglas Smith) never understood why his family didn't celebrate Christmas properly until Santa showed up one year to wreak havoc. Turns out Santa is Satan's son, and every thousand years he gets to come back from Hell to play. Cue comedy Christma💛s slayage.

Tওhere's a stop-motion curling sequence in this film. Pr🌸etty cool.
Cold Prey (2006)
Baby, it's cold outside: When a rookie snowboarder breaks his leg, his friends soon realise that being out in the middle of nowhereꦬ is kind of terrifying. And when they seek shelter in an abandoned hotel... well, that was never going to end well, was it?
Chill factor: 8/10
The movie was shot at the top of a mountain where temperatures dropped as low as -25 degrees. Hope they ✅packed some decent thermal underwear.
Ghostkeeper (1981)
Baby, it's cold outside: Another unfortunate group of snowboarders end up at another abandoned hotel, but this time they're not just being stalked by a slasher - they're falling victim to a Windigo, a terrifying creature from Na✤tive American mythology.

Any time anyone is stranded in a💟 hotel somewhere r🦄emote where the snowmobiles won't work, you know there's going to be trouble.
Devils Pass (2013)
Baby, it's cold outside: You know what would have made The Blair Witch Project scarier? If the characters had been stuck outside in the snow. That's basically the premise of Devils Pass (originally titled The Dyatlov Pass Incident) at least until the daft sci-fi twist at the end. And in fairness, the idea of beinꦑg lost in the middle of snowy nowhere is pretty terrifying.
Chill factor: 9/10
This movie covers pretty much everything that could possiblꦺy go wrong in the cold, from yeti to avalanches, ♋so it deserves some cool points for that, if nothing else.
Blood Glacier (2013)
Baby, it's cold outside: Researchers in the Swiss Alps discover a mysterious red glacier which is melting and causing the local wildlife to mutate. Yup, its another eco-shocker, and🉐 a fairly daft one. The creature effects are 🔯pretty great, though. And at least it delivers on its title.
Chill factor: 9/10
The remote research laboratory is always a creepﷺy setting for a horror movie, even if these scientists do spend more time sulking than actually doing science.
Whiteout (2009)
Baby, it's cold outside: Whiteout is yet another movie about researchers in the cold, but at least it has the good grace to be set in Antarctica for a change. And there aren't any aliens waiting for them out in the �🐽�snow - just diamond smugglers.
Chill factor: 9/10
Heroine Carrie Stetko (🍷Kate Beckinsale) has to have her fingers amputated at one point, because of seve꧟re frostbite.
The Shining (1980)
Baby, it's cold outside: In Kubrick's stone-cold classic, The Overlook Hotel shuts down for the winter, but someone has to stay there to make sure everything's still working. Enter Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson), a playwright with writer's blo✱ck and an extremely cre🍬epy son.
Chill factor: 10/10
The end o🍬f this movie is a cautionary tale about mazes. And isolation. And ghosts. And, yeah, snow.
The Abominable Snowman (1957)
Baby, it's cold outside: British scientist Dr Rollason (Peter Cushing) joins an exped🅘ition to the Himalayas in search of the Abominable Snowman. And because this is a Hammer❀ Horror film and it wouldn't be any fun if he didn't find one, he does. In fact, a whole tribe's worth.
Chill factor: 10/10
It's not just that there are terrifying creatures living out here in the sn൲ow. It's that they're just waiting for us all to kill one another so they can take over t🦄he world.
