On the subject of SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT,the film caused outrage when first released.Although never classed as a video nasty,the film was never certified in the UK.
Some critics lambasted it,such as;
Leonard Maltin asking the question;
'What's next?The Easter Bunny as a child molestor?'
Large protest groups formed outside theaters in the US and apparently the poster shown in the post above,is the second reincarnation,the first being withdrawn.So if anyone has a pic of what the original poster was,please do stick it on.
SILENT NIGHT,DEADLY NIGHT remains the best of the 'Slasher as Santa' films.
Others include;
Don't open 'Til' Christmas
Christmas Evil
which are both worth a watch,but inferior to SNDN.
