"Home Alone" Antics | |
| Dial Code Santa Claus / int_28a472a9 | comment |
"Home Alone" Antics: A very Darker and Edgier version thereof, in which both Thomas and the Santa are outright trying to kill each other by the end. The film allegedly inspired the trope namer to the point that René Manzor threatened to sue. | |

Psychopathic Manchild: The Santa at various points acts like he is just playing a game with Thomas; at one point when he captures Thomas he decides to let him go to play 'hide and seek'. | |

The Unreveal: Who the Santa is or where he comes from is never revealed. (The back of the recent Blu-ray release says he has escaped from an insane asylum, but this is never stated in the film.) | |

Social Media Is Bad: In The '80s! The Santa finds Thomas' house through a Minitel chat room when Thomas tells him that his mother is the manager of a department store, which turns out to be enough information for the Santa to trace his location. | |

Berserk Button: The Santa is very kind (if not a bit creepy) to a little girl on his lap at the mall until she tells him she doesn't like his face and calls him a fake. Then he slaps her. | |
