Being a giant SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT fan, I had no idea there were 4 sequels. One or two, sure. But four?
Well anyway, Lionsgate Home Entertainment has just disseminated the DVD art (above) for the 3-disc box set which includes parts 3-5 (available on DVD for the first time). The 3-disc set, actually packaged in one all-encompassing armory with slipcase, will hit stores on December 11th just in time for Christmas. Reatail prices look to be a cool $19.98.
For those who love the original film, as I do, yet know little to nothing about its obscure direct-to-video sequels, the plotlines are as follows:
SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT 3: BETTER WATCH OUT Synopsis: Ricky Caldwell, the notorious “Killer Santa Claus,” awakens from a six year coma after being kept alive on life-support by a slightly crazed doctor experimenting with ESP and other special abilities. Ricky spies Laura, a young, clairvoyant blind woman who is traveling with her brother and his girlfriend to their grandmother’s house for Christmas Eve. When Ricky decides to go after her, he leaves a trail of dead bodies in his wake.
SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT 4: INITITATION Synopsis: A female reporter is investigating the death of a woman who, on fire, leapt off of a building to her death. The Investigation leads her to discover the existence of a strange cult. The cult, dedicated to the Egyptian god Isis, now wants her as their new queen.
SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT 5: THE TOYMAKER Synopsis: A young boy sees his father killed by a toy that was anonymously delivered to his house. After that, he is too traumatized to speak and his mother must deal with both him and the loss of her husband. Meanwhile, a toy maker named Joe Peto builds some suspicious-looking products while a mysterious man creeps around both the toy store and the boy’s house…but who is responsible for the killer toys?
Should make for some interesting stocking stuffers! Keep your eyes peeled for the 3-disc set come holiday time.
