The Hellraiser x Christmas Sock is a collaboration between Ugly sweater and Hellraiser, a horror movie from 1987. While the original was only worn by the leads at real-life nightclubs, the Hellraiser founders wanted to promote horror films by releasing their line of Christmas sweaters to the masses. A.I. was responsible for designing this sweater digitally and it includes elements of Terrycloth textiles and supernatural imagery like terrifying faces, mirrors, swords and hellish creatures inspired by 1920s Victorian horror paintings.

HELLRAISER CHRISTMAS UGLY SWEATER has become a famous Christmas theme song. It was released by a Christian metal band called Sacred Chaoz in 2016 when they were asked to write the music for a Christmas TV special.

The song, sung by Joey Deacon, tells of the ugly sweater thoughts everyone goes through throughout the season when they can’t afford a present and have to settle for second best (wearing an ugly sweater). The modern version has become popular on YouTube.

According to experts, audiences that don’t share their religious views would likely find this song amusing, while listeners who are religious will likely find it offensive on such topics as novenas or Advent wreaths.
