MoreHorrorMovies.com, Social Media: @morehorror Heads up, horror fans! Halloween may be creeping up fast, but Santa's not far behind – and he’s got an axe to grind! Silent Night, Deadly Night is celebrating its 40th anniversary in slasher style with a killer 3-disc 4K UHD + Blu-ray™ set dropping December 10, 2024, courtesy of Scream Factory™.
This holiday horror classic is getting the full treatment with a brand-new 4K scan from the original camera negative and a sleigh-load of chilling new bonus features, including interviews with filmmakers that dive deep into the film’s bloody legacy. You can even grab a limited edition slipcover if you’re on the nice list and pre-order early at ShoutFactory.com.
40 years ago, Silent Night, Deadly Night caused a full-blown holiday panic – the P.T.A. tried to shut it down, and outraged community leaders wanted it banned. But you can’t stop Santa from spreading some holiday fear! Now, this yuletide massacre returns in glorious 4K, proving that Billy Chapman’s twisted story is more terrifying than ever.
For those who don’t know, Silent Night, Deadly Night tells the dark tale of Billy Chapman, a kid whose parents were murdered on Christmas Eve and who grew up tormented by nuns at a brutal orphanage. When Billy becomes an adult, he snaps, putting on a Santa suit and taking his revenge on anyone he deems 'naughty.' A warning to the townsfolk – not even city council can stop this deadly Santa from punishing the wicked!
