Santa Art is coming to town, and he’s bringing a few of his killer friends along to bring us a new season of frights. Taking a cue from horror movie villains, Spirit Halloween just won’t die, and we love that.
Sure, Spirit’s Christmas section also has non-horror holiday stuff too. But Creepmas fun is the main attraction, and the Halloween retailer has just unleashed a swath of holiday gear featuring Santa Art the Clown as seen in Terrifier 3.
Also joining Art under the tree are Scream‘s Ghostface, Chucky, Regan from The Exorcist, and even Halloween icon Michael Myers. You can find their ghoulish faces splattered across ugly Christmas sweaters in festive light-up garish sparkle. Listen, with the way the world has been, if you want to don spooky gear all year long, it’s very valid.
Santa Art making his mark as a holiday staple makes a lot of sense, as the brutal character played by David Howard Thornton spends most of Terrifier 3 cosplaying as the jolly man in red. The movie’s release last year may have been too close to the holidays to really see much merch take hold, but this year, it’s a full-on assault of Santa Art: nutcrackers, plushes, costumes, Christmas tree glasses, shirts, and plenty of gifting goods for the Terrifier fan in your life. We’re pretty sure Santa Art is going to stay a holiday staple for years to come.
Ghostface is also part of Spirit Halloween’s plan for taking over another holiday, including some cutesy selections if you’re dreaming of a pink Christmas—giving the masked maniac an excuse to linger around the house until the release of Scream 7 in early 2026.
Ghostface is also parodying the Christmas games started by Elf on a Shelf with Ghost Face at Your Place. So you know, if you’re naughty, Ghost Face is watching. I actually prefer Ghostface over the Elf, who looks more cursed and creepy.
There are, of course, characters that make actual sense as part of the holiday pivot, including Jack Skellington as Sandy Claws from The Nightmare Before Christmas and winter folklore terror Krampus—and Spirit Halloween is all over them, too. You can find costumes, decor, and a wildly scary Krampus animatronic inspired by the 2015 film. Check out the gallery below for a look at that as well as more Creepmas inspiration!
