Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984): "Diverstitty"

🔪 Season 2 🔪
Written By Spooky Tuesday Podcast

We gotta say, Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) really lives up to its title as a video nasty. Pulled from theaters when it first came out because it dared to ask the question, “What if Santa but bad,” this ‘80s horror flick became something of a cult classic based solely on the fact that it was hard to see — like, literally hard to track down and watch back when streaming services and websites were barely even a twinkle in Al Gore’s eye. If you ask us here at Spooky Tuesday, though, “evil Santa” was a total red (and green) herring for the actually disturbing on-screen deaths. On our second (and last) Christmas episode of the season, we’re talking about what worked for us, who changed their tune about this movie, and why diverstitties are so important.
