Stephen King seems to have a knack for work in this sub-genre. The fact that he was born and raised where this stuff is a fact of life may have helped.

Definitely. I realized while writing this that two of three were King stories, ha!

Great article on three of my favorite films! In all these winter does feels like a villain itself. In keeping with King the 1990’s mini series Storm of the Century is another adaptation of his (not on the same level of quality as these but still good) that would fit into your theme here of winter horror. A Maine island town is shut down in a brutal snow storm and a malevolent visitor arrives asking the unimaginable of them. Recommend this if you’ve not seen it and are looking for a strong horror in the snow movie around the holidays.
