"What we have here is an uber-sleazy guilty pleasure that is aired in my household at least once every December. For me it's right up there with The Grinch Who Stole Christmas cartoon." – Steve Barton, Dread Central
Community leaders tried to stop the release. The P.T.A. fought to ban it. Now one of the most controversial slasher films of all time is back in a new high-definition release! This new edition of the horror holiday favorite has been restored from the original vaulted film negative.
Silent Night, Deadly Night is the heartwarming story of little Billy Chapman who was traumatized by his parents' Christmas Eve murder, then brutalized by sadistic orphanage nuns. But when grown-up Billy is to dress as jolly St. Nick, he goes on a yuletide rampage to "punish the naughty!" Santa Claus is coming to town ... and this time he's got an axe! Robert Brian Wilson and Scream Queen Linnea Quigley star in this jaw-dropping horror classic that a nation of angry mothers still cannot stop!
“Silent Night, Deadly Night has been a holiday classic for 33 years going strong… This new Blu-ray is the definitive edition of the film and really probably is the be-all end-all for Silent Night, Deadly Night releases. Scream Factory’s release features an insanely improved picture quality (I cannot stress how incredible this movie looks) with the original mono track that sounds loads better too. I don’t need to tell you that the bonus materials here are awesome, but they really are worth owning the release for on their own. This is a MUST OWN title or one to make sure is in someone who’s been “naughty” or nice’s stocking this holiday season.” – Brandon Peters, Why So Blu
