Silent Night, Deadly Night
Yes folks, it's Christmas and what better way to celebrate than with the best killer Santa movie of them all. Back in 1984, parents and school boards tried to stop this movie, I guess they didn't like Christmas. Now, thanks to Anchor Bay, you can see the full cut of this movie the way it was intended to be seen.
Billy has a problem with Santa. As a child his grandfather told him that Santa punished naughty children and on their way home his family was killed by a guy in a Santa suit. When he wound up in a Catholic orphanage, the Mother Superior had a very strict policy about discipline because sometimes punishment is necessary. Now that Billy has grown older, he's fine 11 months out of the year but like when the circus comes through town and the clown phobias start acting up, there's a problem.
When the owner of the toy store he's working at asks him to play Santa, he does it because he has to. Later, at the party, things get out of control and he starts to take his role to heart and starts running around town punishing the naughty folks. Now it's up to Sister Margaret and the local sheriff to put the cork back in Billy's emotional bottle before he punishes the whole town. Put your feet up and have some more egg nog as you enjoy the 12th day of Christmas. I hope your holidays were happy.
