Explaining the movie for the reactors
Silent Night, Deadly Night tells the chilling story of young Billy Chapman, who suffers trauma after witnessing his parents’ murder on Christmas Eve. After enduring a brutal upbringing in a sadistic orphanage, Billy becomes an adult who dons a Santa suit and embarks on a gruesome rampage to “punish the naughty.” The film, which faced significant backlash from community leaders and parents, has since become a staple of holiday horror.
