*::I'm open to removing teen horror honestly as well, as it appears to be more of a cycle (or perhaps belongs in closer observation with the teen film. But as it stands, that one has several academic articles, books from several different authors. I probably didn't do away with it as i've heard the term teen film tossed around enough and managed to find several sources backing it, but I did try and do the same for christmas horror, and came up with basically only your book and several listicles.

Both refer to this as a genre or subgenre. Both discuss the genre and its appeal in depth. I do not move drafts to main space until I have sigcov in three RS.

*::::I've had books from McFarland that completely had incorrect information (i'm looking at you Italian Horror Film Directors). I'll admit those are stronger sources, but these seem to be not very scholary. The THR source states "Tales From the Crypt (1972) became the first film to feature its killer in a Santa outfit, something that would become a standard of the subgenre" while the book says they are not slashers. There is no consistency between the few and far between sources of what is the genre, because Christmas films set and again, there is no real scholarly information other than "this film came out, then this one. Gremlins exists." There is no real context or anything interconnecting these in any of these sources. Can you develop these into a consistent paragraph we can have that sort of Transends something beyond "Christmas horror films are horror films set during christmas", then it would be worth including. Because despite these being reputable sources, there is no real thought put into them other than well disguised listicle content.
