This sequence is part of the 1972 horror anthology, Tales from the Crypt, based on the old E.C. comic books. The film starred Ralph Richardson, Peter Cushing and Joan Collins, The comics were later the basis of a weekly HBO tv series.
"And All Through the House" is Ms Collins' episode in the film. She is wonderful. She plays a woman who's just murdered her husband. She has to work hard to make the whole thing look like an accident. In the meanwhile, there's a psycho dressed like Santa on the loose. Joan's got a lot to deal with. See for yourselves...! Lots of suspense and scares.
Joan Collins, playing (surprise!) a ruthless, evil bitch versus Santa Claus on a very hectic Christmas Eve in this classic horror episode from the 1973 British horror film, Tales from the Crypt! Merry Christmas to all!
Here's the "And All Through the House" episode from the 1973 film, Tales from the Crypt, starring Joan Collins. May your days be merry and bright! I'm not so sure about your nights.

Today's stocking stuffer should be a treat for the many viewers of my Joan Collins Christmas post. Here is the entire episode of "And All Through The House" with Joan launching a lame-brained scheme to off her husband and make it look like an accident. I want to know what type of cleaner she uses that takes blood stains out of white shag carpeting. Anyhow, a little bit scary and a big bit campy as Joan vamps her way through it, here it is, a Christmas gift for you. (By the way, that's Sir Ralph Richardson as The Cryptkeeper in this 1972 film, "Tales from the Crypt." I heard it was his all-time favorite role.)
We all know Joan Collins is best when playing evil, scheming, even murderous slags. And it's no different come Christmas season. So, here is Joan, on Christmas Eve, in the 1972 British horror film, "Tales from the Crypt." It's an anthology film and Joan's segment is first up and a classic of sorts. It was later redone on the American tv series of the same name, both film and tv show having been based upon the golden-age EC comic book.
The name of this episode is "And All Through the House," and it's mostly Joan fighting an escaped psycho from the local asylum who is dressed as Santa. However, it is in this opening minute and a half that Joan once more re-establishes her credentials as Bitch with a capital B. Isn't that heartwarming?
