NEW YORK -- Santa's suit is red -- with blood. At least in the Christmas display in front of a Manhattan mansion.
Joel Krupnik and Mildred Castellanos' idea of holiday cheer is a five-foot-tall, blood spattered Ol' Saint Nick, holding a severed head. They also have a tree decorated with decapitated Barbie dolls.
Krupnik told the New York Post his slasher Santa is a statement about the commercialization of Christmas. He said Santa is nowhere to be found in the Bible.
The bloody Santa is getting mixed reviews. One elderly man said it's, 'Sick, sick, sick." But a Brooklyn musician says he wants to use the slasher Santa for his next album cover.
