Once again collaborating for the season, we have a two-part crosscast for you, starting with our analysis of the 1984 Christmas-themed slasher film Silent Night, Deadly Night, directed by Charles E. Sellier Jr.! Spawning four sequels and a loose remake in 2012, this movie was one of the most controversial titles in the 80s due to its advertising campaign highlighting the feature of a Santa Claus killer. In true Collateral and Victims and Villains fashion, we discuss the merits of this pic as a holiday slasher film and dig deep into the psyche of the killer and protagonist Billy Chapman (Robert Brian Wilson). Is this a holiday classic worth adding to the rotation? Find out now in the holiday special, and have a safe holiday, whatever you're celebrating! Also, stay tuned for the other half of this crosscast, where we guest host on Victims and Villains, discussing the 2020 holiday movie Fatman, starring Mel Gibson!
