The guy dresses up like Santa and goes down the chimney and breaks his neck? I thought that was just horrible.

Are you sure you are not refering to Grimlins? in the movie, the heroine was telling the story of why she hated Christmas. then it flashed back to when her dad, when she was little, wanted to surprise her on Christmas, dressed like Sant Clause. He slipped the wrong way, broke his neck and died, in the chimney. She then realized there was no Santa Clause and Christmas had no meaning. Maybe that is what you are talking about.

There is a famous urban legend referenced in the film, in which Kate reveals in a speech that her father died on a Christmas when he dressed as Santa Claus but broke his neck while climbing down the family's chimney. It was rumored that Columbus had written the scene as drama, hough the filmmakers and performers took it as dark comedy. This scene was always a part of the Gremlins story. In the film the speech was delivered in the bank. One early version of the script included the speech in a scene where the leading characters found a McDonald's restaurant after it had been attacked and the patrons eaten, but the hamburgers were untouched. Later, the filmed speech would be controversial, as studio executives insisted upon its removal. They felt it was too ambiguous as to whether it was supposed to be funny or sad. Dante stubbornly refused to take the scene out, saying it represented the film as a whole, which had a combination of horrific and comedic elements. Spielberg did not like the scene but, despite his creative control, he viewed Gremlins as Dante's project and left it in

Gremlins? That's the only one I know about except you don't see him do it. It's his daughter that retells the story years later about why she doesn't celebrate Christmas.
