Silent Night, Deadly Night and Sequel are Coming Back to DVD

Both the first and second Silent Night, Deadly Night films were previously released by Anchor Bay and have been out of print for quite some time. With the remake, Silent Night, coming out just in time for Christmas, Anchor Bay will be re-releasing the original films as well:

"On December 4th, Anchor Bay Entertainment releases the remake of the 80s cult classic Silent Night, Deadly Night. But to celebrate the future, one must first honor the past...

The same day, Anchor Bay Entertainment opens the vaults to re-release the original 1984 Silent Night, Deadly Night, along with the 1987 sequel Silent Night, Deadly Night 2. For the horror fan, the “alternative Christmas movie” fan and everyone in-between, this deadly double feature arrives with a stocking-stuffer friendly SRP of $14.98 for the collection.

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!"
