If there is one film genre that seems to develop cult fan bases like no other, it is horror. While many people identify the cheerful phrase "he sees you while you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake" with Santa Claus, a horror enthusiast may relate the phrase with a certain big screen figure.
However, when it comes to buying a horror enthusiast a Christmas gift, some members of the family will be stumped.
