Instead of the feel-good holiday fare other networks play for Christmas, Syfy is taking a different tack, going for big, bold and loud movies like Beetlejuice; Back to the Future 1,II and III; The Mask, starring Jim Carrey; the original Jumanji, starring Robin Williams; Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome; The Green Mile and more.

Our leading man sleeps peacefully through it all – to the tune of “Silent Night” – until A Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger shows up.

Syfy's holiday movie marathon includes new acquisitions – such as the Jurassic Park and Nightmare on Elm Street franchises – as well as some classics.
