Santa always knows.

"Red Christmas" is a horror short film by Shawn Winders that premiered at the Orlando Independent Filmmakers Aura film challenge. 

"Red Christmas" was then an official selection for the 2023 Spooky Empire Film Festival, following OIF.

Anna Lesnick's original score brings a dark twist to some classic Christmas tunes, just as the film introduces a dark, twisted Santa.
