It’s a trashy splatter film best watched in irony.
The fun really starts when Billy’s grown up enough to wear a bloody Santa suit of his own. After his parents are murdered by a man in a Santa suit, traumatized young Billy is sent to an orphanage run by the abusive Mother Superior. There are two types of people in the world: Those who want to see Santa Claus kill a nun, and those without a sense of humor. “Silent Night, Deadly Night” (1984, rated R) If you’re looking for some twisted holiday cheer far off the beaten path, try one of these twisted Christmas flicks.ġ0. It’s also murder, mayhem, Santa Claus fighting Martians and monsters that should never be fed after midnight. It’s “Miracle on 34th Street,” “A Christmas Carol” and “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Christmas is good cheer, fresh-baked cookies, cozy nights by the fire and good will toward men.
