The classic slasher Silent Night, Deadly Night is coming to 4K for its 40th anniversary, and Scream Factory is also selling a novelization
2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the classic Christmas slasher movie Silent Night, Deadly Night (watch it HERE) – and to mark the occasion, Scream Factory will be giving the film a 4K UHD and Blu-ray release on December 10th! Copies of the 4K UHD / Blu-ray set are available for pre-order on the Scream Factory website – but the company is also selling a bundle that includes a paperback novelization! Or, you can just buy the novelization on its own. The 4K UHD / Blu-ray set goes for the price of $35.99, the novelization bundle is $64.98, and the novelization by itself is $30.
Directed by Charles E. Sellier Jr. from a screenplay by Michael Hickey (with Paul Caimi receiving story credit), Silent Night, Deadly Night has the following synopsis: Bearing the emotional scars of a young boy who has seen his mother and father brutally murdered by a savage killer in a Santa Claus costume, 18-year-old Billy explodes into a lethal frenzy – he’s asked to put on a Santa Claus suit himself to entertain the customers of the department store where he works. Reminded of the tragic events that have marked his life, Billy embarks on a killing rampage that is as ghastly – and controversial – as anything ever seen on film. The novelization was written by Armando Muñoz.
Robert Brian Wilson, Lilyan Chauvin, Gilmer McCormick, Toni Nero, Britt Leach, Nancy Borgenicht, Linnea Quigley, and Leo Geter star.
