Before Bill Goldberg Destroyed Brock Lesnar, He Slayed Christmas
Who’s next? In 2005, Christmas was next.
Whether you watch WWE or not, you probably heard that something kind of crazy happened last night. Unstoppable monster Brock Lesnar, who hadn’t lost a match in years, was defeated in just three moves by Bill Goldberg, a WCW legend who hadn’t wrestled in well over ten years prior to the Survivor Series clash. It was pretty awesome. But we’re not here to talk about wrestling.
With the Christmas season fast approaching, it’s getting to be that time of the year where holiday-themed horror movies become a hot topic of discussion here in the community, and you better believe we’ll be talking about classics like Black Christmas and Silent Night, Deadly Night in the coming weeks. Another Christmas horror movie I personally love? 2005 gem Santa’s Slay!
Directed by David Steiman, Santa’s Slay starred Bill Goldberg as Santa Claus himself, albeit a heavily modified version of the legendary holiday mascot. As the film explains in a Rankin/Bass-inspired stop-motion sequence, “Santa Claus” was originally the son of Satan, but after losing a curling match to an angel hundreds of years ago, he was doomed to a life of being a benevolent gift-giver. The curse only lasted 1,000 years, however; ending in, you guessed it, 2005.
Okay, so we realize Santa’s Slay isn’t exactly the finest that the holiday horror sub-genre has to offer, but if you’re looking for some wacky fun on the road to the big day, you really can’t go wrong with Bill freakin’ Goldberg as Santa/Satan Claus. The film wastes absolutely no time getting to the good stuff, kicking off with an opening dinner sequence that sees Goldberg Claus coming down a chimney and creatively slaughtering the likes of Fran Drescher, Chris Kattan, and James Caan. He even kicks a dog into a ceiling fan, because this movie is bonkers and wants you to know it.
From there, well, Santa slays everyone in his path. And as someone on the IMDb boards wrote:
Anyone who doesn’t like this movie is dead inside.
We totally agree.
Watch the awesome Santa’s Slay opening scene below and add this one to your list!
