Don Christensen, Joel Harris, & Julia Heyward - Christmas Evil (You Better Watch Out) 10''
When young Harry sees his mother having sex with “Santa” on Christmas night, it causes a shockwave that starts to convince him that he is Father Christmas. Grown up, Harry makes toys for children and spies on neighborhood kids, checking if they really are naughty or nice, and violently dismembering anyone who gets in his way – be it churchgoers or co-workers.
The music of Christmas Evil is composed by the trio of Don Christenson, Joel Harris, and Julia Heywood, who created a score both menacing and upbeat with tunes in the Christmas tradition. Like many horror soundtracks of the era, synthesizers dominate with melodies similar to John Carpenter’s legendary Halloween, only in a happier and more deranged fashion.
Wild and swirling synths act as a window into the mind of Harry and what seems to be a nervous breakdown and a menacing mix of foreboding notes and seasonal bells, all leading up to the ending that’s frankly crackers.
