[Violent Night has found success](https://screenrant.com/violent-night-2-sequel-possibility-producer-response/) in forming a niche for holiday-themed action movies. Not only is Violent Night an action-packed thrill ride for viewers, but also an experience that draws from believing in the idea of Santa Claus and the wonderment of the holiday season. Should the project go through, it's possible that viewers will see even more Christmas-related characters and themes that will further expand on the Violent Night universe. [Violent Night during its theatrical run](https://screenrant.com/violent-night-david-harbour-wasnt-sure-about-santa/) or who haven't rented it through VOD can watch Harbour's killer Santa in the comfort of their homes. Santa is a complex character in Violent Night, as he has become so indifferent to delivering presents each year that he now does so while drunk. While movies like Silent Night, Deadly Night and Christmas Bloody Christmas give audiences Santa-themed slasher villains in a horror setting, Violent Night instead has Harbour portray the real Santa Claus.
