10 Scariest Horror Movie Endings Of All Time

10. Krampus

It's not often that a Christmas horror movie can be described as being... actually good. But Krampus is one of the few that rises from the depths of the hole that contains atrocities like Silent Night, Deadly Night, Santa Claws, and Treevenge to offer up a remarkably chilling yuletide experience. Get it? Chilling? Because it's cold in wint- Never mind.

Krampus's ending stands up to the batsh*t standard of the rest of the movie then, revealing a monstrous, demonic, Christmas-time demon intent on punishing a young boy and his family for the rest of eternity. After battling it out against killer elves and perverted apparitions of classic Christmas entities, young Max is given the option to leave his family behind and learn from losing his Christmas spirit - or to be condemned to hell with the ungrateful lot instead.

Max unwittingly chooses the latter, awakening the next morning to the perfect Christmas before realising he and his family are bound to a snowglobe under the watchful eye of Krampus forever more. Reliving Christmas every day with all your relatives trapped in one house is a pretty gnarly punishment, even by horror movie standards...
