Can anybody name the film?

Can anybody name a film I watched a few years ago it may be The Twilight Zone or Tales From The Crypt. It was probably 70s or 80s and it was set in short stories. I vaguely remember one of the tales was of a woman in her home at Christmas listening to the radio and she hears of an escaped mental patient and hey what do you know he turns up at her house. Another one was a guy being chased through a barb wire corridor by a german shepherd dog I think he was an evil old persons helper. Can anyone shed any light?

    Tales from the Crypt (1972)

    Wikipedia synopsis:

    Five strangers go with a tourist group to view old catacombs. Separated from the main group, they find themselves in a room with the mysterious Crypt Keeper, who details how each of the strangers will die.

    ...And All Through the House - After Joanne Clayton (Joan Collins) kills her husband on Christmas Eve, she prepares to hide his body but hears a radio announcement stating that a homicidal maniac (Oliver MacGreevy) is on the loose. She sees the maniac outside her house but can't call the police because of her husband's body.

    Reflection of Death - Carl Maitland (Ian Hendry) abandons his family to be with Susan Blake (Angela Grant). After they drive off together, they are involved in a car accident. He wakes up in the wrecked car and attempts to hitchhike home, but no one will stop for him. Arriving at his house, he sees his wife (Susan Denny) with another man. He knocks on the door, but she screams and slams the door.

    Poetic Justice - Edward Elliott (David Markham) and his son James (Robin Phillips) are a snobbish pair who resent their neighbor, retired garbage man Arthur Grymsdyke (Peter Cushing) who owns a number of animals and entertains children in his house. To get rid of what they see as a blight on the neighborhood, they push Grymsdyke into a frenzy by conducting a smear campaign against him.

    Wish You Were Here is a variation on W. W. Jacobs' famed short story "The Monkey's Paw." Ruthless businessman Ralph Jason (Richard Greene) is close to financial ruin. His wife Enid (Barbara Murray) discovers a Chinese figurine and wishes for a fortune. Ralph is killed on the way to his lawyer's office, the lawyer then advising Enid she will inherit a fortune from her deceased husband's life insurance plan. Her other wishes lead to more horror.

    Blind Alleys - Major William Rogers (Nigel Patrick), new director of a home for the blind, makes drastic financial cuts, reducing heat and rationing food for the residents, while he lives in luxury with Shane, his Belgian Malinois. When he ignores complaints and a man dies due to the cold, the blind residents exact revenge.

    I'm not sure if it was from Twilight Zone, or one of the other ones, but it sounds like the one where the mental patient was dressed as Santa Clause, and goes around killing people.
