A guide to the complicated world of children’s movies and television.

Originally one of the most reliably cheesy categories of horror, the Christmas-themed scary movie has come a long way since the soft-focused made-for-TV movie days of Home for the Holidays and budget slashers like Silent Night, Deadly Night. But over the past few years, the high quality of entries like Better Watch Out and Krampus inspired us to assemble a best-of viewing guide. So after surveying decades’ worth of candidates, Vulture has come up with a list of a dozen essential scary holiday films, a “12 Days of Christmas Horror” to help you feel extra-festive — and remind you that at baseline, Santa is a home invader who breaks into your private life via chimney and leaves mysterious things for your kids!

Four phases of Moonlighting. Almost four decades after it premiered, Moonlighting is finally available to stream, through Hulu. Held up in licensing purgatory for years by complicated music rights issues, one of the best shows of its era has come home for both people looking for a strong shot of nostalgia and those who have never seen it before. A game changer on Tuesday nights on ABC, Moonlighting was a generation ahead of its time, blurring the line between comedy and drama, while solving a few mysteries and launching one of the greatest TV couples of all time.

The L Word changed the world. When the series debuted in January 2004, it was the first of its kind to portray lesbian life in an aspirational light. As in, so many women and queer people watching really, really wanted the glamorous, hyperdramatized lives of these somewhat (okay, very) flawed but ambitious, attractive, and proudly out (for the most part) women.

Much, much worse. Our main ensemble is fresh off of watching more than a thousand people toss themselves off a boat while in a trancelike state, and now they’re left on a boat with no running engines and no power, floating around in the middle of the night on the ocean.

January, 2012: Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol reigned at the box office, a new show called Girls premiered on HBO, Lana Del Rey told us we were Born to Die … and a young-adult novel about two kids with cancer falling in love became a massive sensation. The sixth book from John Green, The Fault in Our Stars, debuted January 10 at No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list, where it would stay for months.

Over the course of eight seasons, Bob’s Burgers has grown into a sweet-natured, brazenly weird, always hilarious meditation on the nature of family, one that rivals any live-action luminaries. And better than any other show on TV, Bob’s Burgers understands the blend of wonder and anxiety that comes with the holidays. This ranking of every holiday episode thus far highlights the greatest strengths of the series: its deft characterization, stellar voice acting, and the way it uses music to communicate its zany, tenderhearted nature.

The Great Escape. Quentin Tarantino’s latest film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, opens this week after its controversial Cannes premiere back in May.
