Some horror franchises are famous, some are infamous – I would say the three films we are about to talk about will fall in the second category. SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT is a holiday horror staple but the last three films – that would be Parts 3 – 5 have gone widely unnoticed – but Vestron Video can’t let that happens so they have announced a Blu-ray collection that is chock full of special features – the press release lays out all the facts in grand style so – let’s have a look.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Killer Santa Claus comes to town for the first time on Blu-ray™ as the Silent Night, Deadly Night Collection arrives December 13 on Blu-ray™ + Digital from Lionsgate.

OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS
Prepare for a trilogy of pure terror with this collection of films from the Silent Night, Deadly Night series. In Better Watch Out!, it’s a very bloody Christmas after Ricky Caldwell, the notorious “Killer Santa Claus,” awakens from a six-year coma with one thing on his mind: murder. In Initiation, a reporter’s investigation into a mysterious death leads her into the clutches of a cult that’s chosen her as its new queen, and The Toy Maker stars entertainment legend Mickey Rooney as a toy maker whose creations display some very human – and deadly – tendencies.
