One possible plot could be that mommy has been possessed by an evil entity. This entity has a vendetta against the symbol of Santa Claus. So, mommy, under the control of this entity, hunts down Santa Claus and does the unthinkable act of 'eating' him. The child who witnesses this then has to deal with the horror and the mystery of what has happened, and maybe tries to stop mommy or find a way to reverse the situation.
It might be that there is a dark backstory to mommy's actions. Maybe she was once a victim of some Christmas - related trauma herself. And when she sees Santa Claus, all those suppressed memories and emotions resurface. In her disturbed state, she attacks Santa Claus in a brutal way, like 'eating' him. The story could then be about the child trying to understand mommy's actions, while also dealing with the nightmarish situation they've witnessed, and perhaps trying to find a way to heal mommy or at least come to terms with what has happened.
Perhaps it starts with a child witnessing something strange about mommy during Christmas. Then it unfolds to show that mommy has some deep - seated hatred or madness related to Santa Claus. And she does something awful like attacking and 'eating' him, which traumatizes the child.
The title 'I Saw Mommy Eating Santa Claus' for a horror story is quite a shocker. It could potentially be about a deranged mommy figure who has lost her sanity and sees Santa Claus as something other than the jolly gift - giver. Maybe in this fictional horror world, there are some evil forces at play that have warped mommy's perception. It could also be a metaphor for the destruction of childhood innocence, with Santa representing that innocence and mommy being the one to shatter it in a very violent and disturbing way.
Perhaps if Santa Claus was an undead or zombie - like figure. His red suit all tattered and stained with blood, his white beard matted and dirty. He could be going from house to house not to spread joy but to feed on the fear of children. His sack of presents could be filled with things that are used to torture or harm instead of toys and candies. This would turn the traditional Santa Claus into a horror story character.
Definitely not. Santa Claus has been a beloved figure for centuries. He is based on Saint Nicholas, a real person known for his benevolence. The idea of Santa Claus coming down the chimney to leave presents for good children is a heartwarming one. There are countless stories, songs, and movies that depict him as a friendly, rotund man with a white beard, spreading joy. It's only in very abnormal and dark fictional re - imaginings that he could be seen as part of a horror story, but that's not the norm at all.
Yes, in some interpretations Santa Claus can be seen as a horror story. The idea of an old man coming into your house at night while you're sleeping can be a bit creepy. He judges whether you've been naughty or nice, which can feel like an invasion of privacy for some. And the concept of elves, which are often depicted as somewhat otherworldly and subservient, adds to the strange factor.
Probably when Santa violates the safety of the home. We expect our homes to be a safe haven, especially during the holidays. So when Santa, who is supposed to be a bringer of joy, turns into a threat by breaking in with malicious intent, it's truly terrifying. He might start to destroy things or harm the people inside the house instead of leaving presents.
The fact that he knows if you've been naughty or nice. It's like he has some sort of surveillance on everyone, especially children. That can be a really unnerving thought, as if someone is constantly watching your every move and will punish or reward you based on it.
It might involve evil elves or a grumpy goblin kidnapping Santa to stop Christmas. Maybe it's a ransom for all the toys or to cause chaos in the holiday season.
Maybe Santa Claus once lost his reindeer. It's a very sad thing for him as the reindeer are his main helpers for delivering presents all over the world. Without them, he couldn't complete his mission on Christmas Eve.
Once upon a time, a family was waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. But instead of a jolly old man, a demonic figure with red eyes and sharp claws came down the chimney. It started to make strange noises and chased the family around the house. They tried to escape but the 'Santa' was too fast. In the end, the family disappeared, and only their screams could be heard that night.
One Santa Claus horror story is about a Santa who turns out to be a deranged killer. He uses his disguise to get into people's houses at night not to give presents but to harm them. Another could be a Santa that haunts a particular town during Christmas, causing fear instead of joy.
