Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 (1987) Revisited – Horror Movie Review

A new episode of our Best Horror Party Movies video series has been released today, under the general “Revisited” / “Horror Movie Review” banner, and in this one we’re building a party around the “so bad it’s good” Christmas horror flick, Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 (WATCH IT HERE). Grab yourself a drink, sit back, and enjoy this festive episode!

Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 has four credited writers: director/editor Lee Harry, assistant director/editor Joseph H. Earle, Dennis Patterson, and producer Lawrence Appelbaum. But this is basically a “clip show” of a movie, with nearly half of the running time taken up by flashbacks to footage from the previous film, so some of those writing credits were earned by the editors figuring out how to wrap new footage around old clips. The film has the following synopsis:

The now-adult Ricky talks to a psychiatrist about how he became a murderer after his brother, Billy, died, which leads back to Mother Superior.

The film stars Eric Freeman, James L. Newman, Elizabeth Kaitan, and Jean Miller.

Here’s what the Best Horror Party Movies series is all about:

Welcome to the Best Horror Party Movies where we single out the BEST horror movies to watch with a couple of drinks and some buddies in tow, even if it’s a “watch party”. Hence movies that are intentionally or unintentionally funny, that are extreme, fast paced, goofy, and raunchy – all the fun times toppings in the house! Films you can pay attention to or you can have in the back ground. We even tossed a party game in there, one tailored to each episode’s selection, including recommended “doses” for toasting (or roasting) all the sleaze, cheese, guts and gore you can stuff into your cranium. So get in here and get crazy… ‘cuz it’s a HORROR PARTY!

This episode of Best Horror Party Movies was Written, Edited and Narrated/Hosted by Gregory Burkart, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
