Silent
Night, Deadly Night (1984)
Years
ago, little Billy saw his parents murdered by an escaped killer wearing a Santa
Claus costume. The experience left indelible scars on his psyche, made all the
worse by his subsequent years languishing in an orphanage, where his life was
made a living hell by the cruel and domineering Mother Superior (Lilyan Chauvin,
Universal Soldier). With the help of
the sympathetic Sister Margaret (Gilmer McCormick, Slaughterhouse-Five, Starting Over), the
18-year-old Billy (Robert Brian Wilson, “Search for Tomorrow”) secures a job at
a toy store. But when the store’s regular Santa is injured, Billy is called upon
to don the red suit. But as he does, he becomes a ticking time bomb. The
traumatic memories of his parents’ murders, combined with the abuse he has
suffered at the hands of the Mother Superior, propel him into a state of
psychotic rage. Santa Claus is coming to town, and he’s got murder on his
mind...
Silent
Night, Deadly Night 2 (1987)
Billy's younger
brother Ricky (Eric Freeman) follows in the family tradition of Christmas
carnage. Psycho Santa is back...to deck the halls with chunks of bodies!
