The 1972 Tales from the Crypt movie also had a killer Santa in one of its segments. Roger Ebert gave the movie a positive three out of four stars, and he even mentioned Santa in the review with no condemnation.

[@suavemsuavemente]

I think he didn't kill anyone on screen, killer Santa that is, in fact it was Joan Collns' character who murdered her hubby only to be targeted by the killer in an ironic twist-of-fate kind of thing. It was more a cat and mouse scenario and it was tough to cheer for her knowing she killed while also easy cuz she was fighting for her survival. Aslo, this was one of a few tales depicted in the movie. I think that Mr Ebert recommened the movie as a whole not just this segment in particular.

[@everfreebrumby8385]

I love that the quote from mickey rooney is actually in the DVD for that movie. What a flex. 💪

[@Sammyandbobsdad]

When Mickey Rooney complained he was just venting because of the failure of his potato themed San Fernando Valley restaurant. Later, he realized he was lashing out and took a part in the film (the producer let him provide craft services with leftover supplies from his restaurant).

[@ThatJohnKillion1970]

Mickey Rooney being a grumpy, old man was nothing new.

[@kyleellis1825]

I actually really like that. It shows Mickey was able to look at his own mistakes and own up to them.

[@paulpaduretu]

Saw a few actors from Twin Peaks in Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 3, even Laura Harring who went and starred in Mullholand Drive, interesting.

[@mcnultyssobercompanion6372]

Yeah I'm genuinely surprised he didn't mention Harring or the fact that Richard Beymer played the doctor. Beymer's an interesting guy for "Twin Peaks", but also because he was a major movie star in the late-50's/early-60's, essentially the Timothee Chalamet of his day. He was in "The Diary of Anne Frank", "The Longest Day", and was the male lead in no less than "West Side Story". To see him eventually in material like this gives interesting perspective on the transitory nature of "film stardom". I'm not too familiar with this channel, maybe cinema history isn't a focus, but going through the credits of "Silent Night/Deadly Night part 3" I'm kind of blown away by how the director and co-writer was Monte Hellman, a VERY important guy to modern film history as one of the individuals who grandfathered "Reservoir Dogs" into getting made. Hellman also has three films on The Criterion Collection. It's _beyond bizarre_ that he directed this as well.

[@SpecialAgentBillMaxwell]

I've been trying to find that bug movie for years. I saw it on HBO way back in the day. Thank you so much for finding it! I still can't believe that it's part IV of a Christmas slasher. No wonder I couldn't find it.

[@joshuah9109]

"Silent Night: Deadly Night" opened 11/9/84 in just under 400 theaters. The controversy helped lead to SOLD-OUT shows. That same weekend another horror movie was released. It opened in just 165 theaters. Though not much was really known about this OTHER horror film, It has a solid opening weekend despite competing with "Silent Night: Deadly Night." The backlash caused "Silent Night: Deadly Night" to be removed from theaters after only 2 weeks in theaters, leaving the OTHER horror film to increase its theater count and allowing it to become a surprise hit! That movie was "A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET."😁

[@Horrormaster13]

I'm honestly kind of baffled that Silent Night, Deadly Night managed to become a Franchise considering the fact how controversial the first movie was.

[@IsmailofeRegime]

Controversy often ends up being a "good" thing commercially though by getting people talking about it and making people curious to watch, and I assume that once the shock of "oh no a horror movie involving some guy in a Santa costume!" wore off, subsequent films weren't a big deal to make.
