Storyline
A young boy watches his parents killed by a thief in a Santa suit. He spends his youth in an orphanage, staying quietly to his self, but his mind is further bent by an ironhanded Mother Superior. He finally gets a job at a local store, where he finally snaps when he is required to wear a Santa suit, and goes on a killing spree that leads him slowly back to the orphanage.

Trivia
The title "Slay Ride" actually ended up as a subplot in another film, the Disney holiday movie Ernest Saves Christmas. In the Ernest film, the prospective Santa that Ernest was looking for was appearing in a horror film entitled "Christmas Slay". See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: Following the murder of Ellie Chapman (Tara Buckman's character), she is shown one more time before the flash-forward to 1974, during which her heart can be seeing beating against her bare chest; even far more visible is the carotid pulse beating against the stage blood on her neck.
