Snowy Scares: Horror Movies to Feed Your Winter Need

Stop me if you've heard this before: a group of partying, sex-crazed teens go to the middle of nowhere for a good time... In this case, they've chosen a ski resort, but they didn't count on being stalked by a mysterious killer skier who doesn't take kindly to snow boarders.

If it's snow, it must be close to Christmas! Really, any number of Christmas-themed horror movies could be included on this list, but Silent Night, Deadly Night is perhaps the most iconic embodiment of killer Christmases. In it, a man who, as a child, saw his parents killed by a man dressed as Santa dons a Santa suit and goes on a killing spree, punishing the "naughty." One highlight has the killer Santa chopping a guy's head off as he sleds down a snowy slope.

I'm not sure who was clamoring for not one, but TWO sequels to the made-for-TV adaptation of Stephen King's short story Sometimes They Come Back, but this second sequel takes the action to a government mining facility in Antarctica, where two military police officers are sent to investigate a series of deaths, which turn out to be of satanic origin.

The first story that Stephen King wrote as a television miniseries, this tale takes place in a small town being battered by the worst blizzard in a century. However, the worst of their problems is a devilish stranger who strolls into town demanding a sacrifice from the townsfolk...or else.

In the original classic and its arguably more classic remake, an alien life form discovered frozen in the ice by a team of Arctic (in the remake, Antarctic) workers emerges to wreak havoc.

In this somber supernatural tale, a family vacation to a remote winter cabin takes a turn for the worst when a dark presence seems to permeate the area. Could it be the legendary Wendigo, supposedly a half-man, half-deer? Or perhaps the elusive, Hendigo, half-man, half-chicken? Or maybe Bendigo, the half-man, half-rat? Or the most deadly of all, Fenndigo: half-man, half Sherilyn Fenn.

The only US deputy marshal assigned to Antarctica must investigate the continent's first murder before winter sets in.

In this silly Sci Fi Channel endeavor, a plane carrying a college football team on its way to Japan (?) crashes on a mountain inhabited by a man-eating Yeti.
